Ian's "life" is currently at $2,099,754 USD !
He thought he could get as much as $500,000 USD
There's still six days of bidding left.
[... goes off to look around at house, car, job, stuff ... ]
Wonder what his ex would have to say about this? She "might" have a different take on it.
Granted - he has a better lifestyle than me.
However, this has given me great hope and I am now thinking that my life might be worth say $439.71 USD.
But I want to keep my magic decoder rings. . .
