So this guy called Ian Usher from Darlington, who emigrated to Australia six years ago, gets dumped by his wife and decides he needs a new start away from the constant memories of his ex. No messing around for Ian though, he’s selling his house plus all it’s contents, car, motorbike, jetski, parachute, friends and job in one big lot on eBay.

The 44-year-old said he hoped to earn about £185,000 for his Perth lifestyle but just a few hours after the bidding opened the highest bid had already reached £314,000. With 7 days still remaining on the auction bidding is over AUD $720,000, equivalent to £350,000!

You can follow the auction here, and I’ll update this post with the winning bid whan it happens.

UPDATE:
I noticed the auction got to $2,200,000 AU or over £1million! There’s obviously been some spoof bidding on there even though all bidders are supposed to have been pre-approved. The current bid is back down to $300,000 AUD, £150,000 ish.
