I think he'll get plenty of bids if he's getting this kind of publicity, don't think mine would bring so much but he may be on to somethingLOL

Someone will buy his life just for the publicity. Most people want to do things just to say they did something no one else has done. It will be fun to watch.

I wonder if he'll have a starting bid value because it would be embarassing if the winning bid was only a few cents.

I'm an avid eBayer and I've seen publicity stunts like this one being posted on eBay all the time. To me, these people are just looking for attention. Just like Alpha said, "Someone will buy his life just for the attention." The question is, why are they looking for attention? Are they that hard up for money? I've seen people who sell "Ad Space" on their heads, backs, stomachs etc to people. I mean, that is crazy. I have to admit though, hats off to those folks for at least being brave.

This is interesting, funny, and sad.

I hope he realizes that selling all his stuff is not going to help him become a new person... he has to change within for him to get over his problems.

Lol, Theres plenty of strange bids on Ebay such as life size dinosaurs available if i can remember it was a half a million shipping alone.

This story seems very much like a publicity stunt like everyone has said. Amazon is the way to go folks!
