Final Reaction
After eliminating some inflated prank bids, the auction closed at less than what Usher had hoped for. He had started the auction with the hope of raising AU $500,000 in order to start a new life. Although disappointed with the results, he is still following through on the agreement.Sydney Morning Herald: Life for sale falls short of target (June 30, 2008)Background
His house was built for the two of them, and he is constantly haunted with memories from his past, and says he misses his wife terribly. Ian believes that by selling his whole life online, he will be able to let go of the past and move on to a better future.Ian Usher Quotes
