A Ian Usher, a British man living in Australia, was unhappy with his life. He decided that he wanted a new
start- but how? hen he came up with an idea. He put his whole life for sale on the online auction site eBay. he sale
included his three-bedroom house and all its contents, his dog, !uc"y, his car and his #et s"i. It even included his #ob
and introductions to his friends. he auction online began and attracted $.%& million visitors in the first few hours.
'ventually, the bids reached nearly ()),))) Australian dollars* +$,-,))).. /r Usher was disappointed with the price,
but he accepted it. He moved out of his home and started his new life. He used the money from his sale to achieve his
$)) top ambitions- all in $)) wee"s. hese included swimming with the shar"s on the coast of 0apan, riding an ostrich
in 1outh Africa, and getting a part in a Hollywood movie.
B 2hen a British $3-year old paid + ,& on eBay for a second-hand 4lay1tation - console and two games he
wasn5t sure if it was a bargain. But when the goods arrived and he opened the bo6, the console was there but the games
weren5t. Instead, there was 73&,()) in ban"notes. he boy, who has not given his name, was ama8ed. He told his
parents, and they gave the money to the police, who began an investigation. 1o far, they haven5t found who the cash
belongs to or how it got into the bo6. 1o what happens to the money? hat depends. If the police discover that the
money came from crime, it belongs to the government. If nobody can prove where it5s from, the boy and his family
can apply to "eep it9
