“So why don't I want it anymore? Well, my tale is a bit of a sad one, but I am not trying to sell you a sob story. I appreciate that many people have had to cope with much more than I have, and have had much more sadness in their lives. This is just my way of dealing with what has happened to me.”
On the 29th of June 2008, the eBay auction ended. Someone bought Ian Usher’s life for a couple of hundred thousand Australian dollars.
As promised, he went to the airport, enquired when the next plain with an available seat is departing, and started a new life. “I have had goals and dreams for as long as I can remember, but like everyone else, I have found that living often gets in the way, and goals get put aside for too long! It's time to start ticking off some goals. It's time to achieve 100 goals in the next 100 weeks!”“I am pretty excited about the whole thing. I am looking forward to moving on, and shedding the past. I am excited about the future, and really having no idea where events might lead me. It's time to let it all go and move on.”
Out of this rather tragic story developed some wonderful possibilities. Walt Disney pictures bought the rights to his story. He published two books “A life 4 sale” and “A life sold.” Ian Usher is having the time of his life.
"No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities. Always see them, for they're always there." Taken from "The American Dreams by James R. Bickford The end.
