Perth man Ian Usher will discover on Sunday whether his old life is worth the $500,000 he hopes will allow him to start a new one.
Mr Usher, 44, from the southern Perth suburb of Wellard, has decided to auction his entire life on eBay, wanting to retain only his passport, wallet and the clothes on his back.
On Sunday the highest bidder to claim what Mr Usher describes as a pre-packaged life.
On the list is a $420,000 house, his hobbies, his job, and even his friends, who have agreed to be introduced to the buyer.
Mr Usher says he is nervous about the auction.
"I hope it all goes well and I don't end up with egg on my face and no buyers at all," he told AAP today.
He said splitting from his wife had inspired him to hold the auction.
Following their separation two-and-a-half years ago, six years after they had emigrated from Britain, he said he had been nursing a broken heart and needed to move on.
Selling everything was the most logical answer, he said.
"It's part of the moving on process. I guess this is the last step before making a fresh start."
