THE eBay auction for lovelorn Ian Usher's life has ended with a winning bid of $399,300, well below the $500,000 he was hoping for.
Ian Usher, 44, has sold his home, vehicles, furniture, the prospect of a job and access to his friends after a seven-day worldwide auction.

Mr Usher said he had not yet found out who the buyer was because he had TV crews lined up waiting to interview him at his home.

"I'm trying to find some time to get on the computer and check it out ... I haven't looked (up) anything about them yet," he said.

Bidding opened last Sunday with numerous bogus buyers raising the price to more than $2 million, but the British immigrant says he is still happy with the final figure.

He decided to use the internet to sell everything he owns after breaking up with his partner two-and-a-half years ago.

"Despite my life being busy and fulfilled, I still miss my wife," his website states.

"I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me."

In the 100 days leading up to the auction, Mr Usher wrote web dairies and posted videos on the internet of his hobbies, interests and the lifestyle in Perth, to try to attract buyers
