Not really the same, all unique auction ideas but Ian is selling his entire life ... house, contents, cars, toys, job and an introduction to his friends.

Its not meant to be a novelty idea, the items have a high value and the guy just wants shot of it all. Good luck to him.

Its not meant to be the same, lol! I was pointing out some more original ideas.

But "Man sells life" has been done before.

Personally its a good idea if your bored with everything and want to start again, saves the effort of selling everything on its own :P
