This guy sold everything in his life, not his actual life. As in, his house, friends, job, and wordly posessions.

For $380,000.

Huh.

He wanted to end his life but he didn't have the balls to kill himself?

The dude must have been a total douche if everyone in his life was willing to watch him go like that.

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.

This is stupider than when the kid tried to sell his soul on eBay.
