Australian sells his life on eBay
He asks for 7K A$
SYDNEY: An Australian man who agreed to sell his "life" on eBay for
(A)$7,500) said on Wednesday he was prepared to go through with the
deal if the buyer paid cash.
Earlier this month, Nicael Holt, 24, had posted his life for sale
on the Internet auction site, saying the deal included his name,
phone number and all of his belongings. "New life for sale!!" his
entry on eBay read.
He said he would also introduce the buyer to all his friends and
"potential lovers (around eight which I have been flirting with)."
The buyer would also "have access to a cruisy job in March
delivering fruit."
Also part of the sale was a repertoire of six jokes, a fractured
relationship with an ex-girlfriend and a four-week training course
in becoming Holt, including surfing, doing handstands and
fire-twirling skills.
Bidding for Mr. Holt's life started at (A)$5 and ended late on
Tuesday at (A)$7,500. The winning bidder was identified as
"ridderstrade."
Mr. Holt, a philosophy student from New South Wales state, said he
was prepared to complete the sale, and make a documentary about the
process, if any of the top five bidders turn out to be genuine. The
auction site did not comment on the sale, but allowed it to run its
course. AP
