Just What Is Your Life Worth?

That is exactly the question that Australian Ian Usher, 44, is asking the world about his life. After his twelve-year relationship (five of which he was married) broke up, Usher decided to put his life up for sale. Usher has listed his life on eBay with a starting bid of 155,000 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to almost 147,500 US dollars. Before you place a bid, though, I think I should let you know what this offer include. If you win the auction, which ends on June 29th, then you are the owner of:
* three bedroom house in Perth, Western Australia,
* a car,
* a motorbike,
* Usher's clothes, and
* Usher's friends (I wonder what they think they are worth).

Additionally, you are entitled to a trial for Usher's job at a local rug store in Australia. If you had to list your life for sale on eBay, what would you list it for? What do you think your spouse would be willing to pay? Do you think they would be able to pay?
