What do you guys n gals reckon?
I reckon the guy is so broken-assed after splittin with the missus hes lost his marbles! Either that or he knows something we dont...
Hes got some nice gear, apart from the bike(never liked those Kawas) and the house looks real relaxing. He says "everything you see in the pics you get" but I bet theres more to his life and his possessions than what hes showing.
Looks suspiciously like a gimmick to me, he even includes his friends and his job iin the auction.
Soooooo...what are your thoughts? could you sell your life and is it worth anything???

I think that he is aiming at some yound rich depressed person.

I say its a scam by someone bored, or its a some psychology PhD student who is developing his thesis about human behaviour or some sort of stuff.

Strange maybe he is moving country and starting fresh and $300,000 plus would be enough to set up a new life

my first thought was he is terminally ill and wont need it much longer but watching his video he doesn't look like he's sick

also he seems pretty calm considering what he's doing

It's one of those things you can only do when you don't really have anything. By that I mean kids, partner, business etc who are dependant on you for their livelihood as well. This fulla has lost the missus, all he has are "material possessions" and let's be fair, his ex probably picked everything out anyway, and this is easier than a big garage sale!!!!!

There was a student (?) who put everything he had into a roulette wheel spin in either Aussie or NZ a couple of years back wasn't there? I remember he got permission from the casino to do it, but can't recall if he won or lost!!

I'll give him $2, maybe $3

I wonder how much is left owing on the mortgage. I don't much fancy the look of the car.

His life... he do what he wants with it...?

[Tank]

pffft - Perth - no wonder the guy wants out.

[firefighter]

do you get a refund if his friends don't like you?

[tone_crafter]

It says on his website that he's doing it because he lost his wife and his life reminds him too much of her. Wonder if she passed away or something else. This is really all he says:

"Well, I was blindsided at about 11pm on a Wednesday evening by a shocking and awful discovery."
