A painful breakup with his wife has prompted a man to put his entire life - his house, his car, his job, even his friends - up for sale online in an effort to start over. Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, said Tuesday he would auction everything he owns and more on e-Bay starting June 22. "On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all," Usher says on his website. [/p] Up for bid is Usher's three-bedroom house in the western city of Perth and everything inside it, his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear. [/p] Usher says he is also selling a one-time introduction to his friends and a trial run at his job - a plan endorsed by his friends and his employer. [/p] In media interviews on Tuesday, Usher said he wants a fresh start after realizing that most things in his current life remind him of the relationship he had with the wife of five years whom he broke up with more than a year ago. [/p] "Everything that I have - the furniture in the house - all has memories attached to it," Usher, 44, told Seven Network television. "It's time to shed the old, and in with the new." [/p] Usher said his life will be sold in one lot, and that bidders should expect to pay more than 420,000 Australian dollars (US$390,000; Ç250,000), which is the upper end of a realtor's valuation of his house that he has posted online.
