Title: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: ASR on 1 July 2008, 00:44:13 http://news.aol.com/story/_a/man-auctions-his-life-for-380000/20080630094409990001?icid=100214839x1204904872x1200228902
This guy sold everything in his life, not his actual life. As in, his house, friends, job, and wordly posessions. For $380,000. Huh. Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: NovaMan XP on 1 July 2008, 01:13:29 I heard about that earlier.
... I think he ripped himself off. Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 1 July 2008, 01:16:24 Huh... What if he made the highest bid for himself?
Where would his money go? Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: preventerWIND on 1 July 2008, 01:20:06 To himself, idiot.
This guys a bigger idiot, man, why the hell would he do this? Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 1 July 2008, 01:21:11 He wanted to end his life but he didn't have the balls to kill himself?

Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: ASR on 1 July 2008, 01:43:31 It said his friends were "part of the package."
So, uh, assuming they were in on it, he HAD to have been a dousche if they prefer some loser who's willing to buy somebody else's life online. Seriously, though, this is probably the craziest eBay story I've heard because technically everything was within the rules and entirely tangible/possible to transfer ownership of. Like, those stories of people selling French Toast with Jesus on it are crazy, funny, etc., but those are silly and passable. This is serious, some guy just gave away his whole life. People are stupid. Title: Re: Man auctions his life, winning bid is $380,000 Post by: preventerWIND on 1 July 2008, 01:46:15 I remember ROFL waffles. I loved that.
