Ian Usher, a British man living in Australia, was unhappy with his life. He decided that he wanted a new start – but how? Then he had an idea. He put his whole life up for sale on the online auction site eBay. The sale included his three-bedroom house and all its contents, his car and his jet ski. It even included his job and introductions to his friends. The auction began and attracted 1.75 million visits in the first few hours. Eventually, the bids reached nearly 400,000 Australian dollars. Mr Usher was disappointed with the price, but he accepted it.

He moved out of the home, and started his new life. He used the money from his sale to achieve his 100 top ambitions – all in 100 weeks! These included swimming with sharks off the coast of Japan, riding an ostrich in South Africa, and getting a part in a Hollywood movie.
