Who bought ALife4Sale? All the answers….

How disappointing for you that all didn’t turn out as you planned. But, I think there are many good things that came of this! Look at all the people you met and will continue to meet because of this experience! The concept itself was unique enough to get international exposure so could also be considered an experiment in whether or not selling one’s “life” on eBay is a good idea… (I guess the answer is “no”…at least not until eBay or some other entrepreneur figures out a better way to qualify bidders!) And remember the people you’re inspiring with your goals.

You’re life, undoubtedly, is different thanks to this experience… the lessons you’ve learned, the people you’ve met, the new goals you’ve set… Though it didn’t turn out as planned, it sounds like a success to me.

Hello,
first of all, winning an auktion on ebay means a formal agreement between buyer and seller. You have the right to force the buyer to close the deal. A good lawyer would know how.
the second thing is that your stuff, like 20 years old car, used furniture and your old jeans are just rubbish. Not to mention a collection of used flip flops… why should anybody pay more than a house itself was worth? i think that you are dissapointed because you hoped to find a guy who wanted some media fuzz around him and willing to pay for it… well, it turned out that people stayed cool. Now you are looking for sponsors… this is already a bit disgusting, are you disabled or what? Can’t take care of yourself and seek sympathy? Wish you well anyway, we all have to struggle on this earth, but one should mind the limits of making a fool of himself.

ara…crawl back under your rock…Ian, all the power to you my friend!

I was pulling for you too man, shame it didn’t work out. You’ve got the right attitude and like all things, this will work out and you’ve got a great story to tell anyone who will listen. I admire the attempt and your persistence to see it through.

I know all this must be disappointing, but to have total peace in the direction of your life…and I am telling you it’s short…you need to know and have peace with Jesus. I hope you know Him as your savior. If not, today is a great day to let Him be the guide of all this confusion! 😉 My prayers are with you.

Hey ara,

First of all….
Direct quote from eBay….

“One particular clause that is of interest to you because we asked you to sell in the real estate category:

eBay auctions of real property are not legally binding offers to buy and sell that property. Instead, they are simply a way for sellers to advertise their real estate and meet potential buyers. At the close of the auction, the seller should contact the high bidder to discuss entering into a contract for the real property. However, neither party is obligated to complete the real estate transaction.

Do you think that I wouldn’t have even thought to look into this?

And secondly…
With regard to “making a fool” of myself, well I guess we are all entitled to our opinion. I have never gone seeking sympathy, merely told the story of what has happened so far. If people are prepared to offer help, then that just shows that the world is full of good people with positive outlooks, rather than the negative minority that only ever look for the negatives in others.

Thanks to the positive majority out there.

Ian

Hey Ian, I was trying to find out if you had started on your journey yet and I read what happened. That’s too bad, but it will all work out. Oh by the way – did you call you mother?

I may do a follow up, if so I’ll be in touch. Linda R. in the U.S.

Hi Linda, please feel free to call for a follow up, I reckon I am still here until at least 3rd August. And yes, I did call mum….
🙂

I think it’s a real shame that the top bidders all acted in this way – although to be fair, the winning bidder deserves the lions share of the scorn. Why not name and shame him/her???? That’s what you said you’d do, after all …..
You made it abundantly clear about the terms for bidding, and went to the lengths of pre-registering bidders etc, so you’d be perfectly vindicated in declaring who the cad is!!!!
Anyways, all the best to you mate … hopefully someone with a bit of savvy will realise what a bargain you’re offering, and it will be snapped up as soon as.
Peace :o)

Ian G’day mate, long time no speakity, thought I’d drop in and have a gander and see what ya were up to…well you are out of there and now on the road and chasing down 100 goals in 100 weeks, very cool matey! Sorry to hear the auction did not work out the way ya planned, but sometimes we have a plan and life happens…however we may not realize at the time but there usually is a great rteason that things unfold the way they do…stay open, stay positive and ya never know what might come as a result…EXPECT GOOD THINGS…just don’t be tied to any ONE way that the house will be sold, etc! Will be following with interest your travels, and still have some cold beer and some good mates here in Houston, we’ll show ya a good time when ya get ’round this way matey! All the best! Jared

did you ever get the rest of your money?

This is awesome Ian
