how much is my life?

a co-worker recenty forwarded a spam which caught my attention. it was about a divorced man who sold his life to ebay for over $300,000 (http://www.alifeforsale.com/). as an ebayer, i have seen the weirdest possible auctioned items: a used tissue by a celeb, a baseball cap owned by a band vocalist, a pavement with an image of Jesus (how do you sell a pavement??!! lol.Ü), toenails, a night w/ someone's wife, virginity, the list goes on...

and now, someone actually sold his entire life to ebay.

that got me thinking.

if i were to sell my life, down to the very little thing i own, how much will i earn?

currently, i only have the following (w/ decent value only):
...a three-shelf book collection
• harry potter book set (hardbound)
• bob ong books
• nicholas sparks books
• sweet valley jr. high
• other new york times bestseller books
...about 60 fashion and celebrity magazines
• FHM, OK! & Cosmopolitan
...a nokia 6300 mobile phone
...sony dsc-t2 digicam
...two closets full of clothes
...about 6 pairs of shoes (just disposed several)
...about 25 bags (cheap and pricey)
...a desktop computer
...a drawer full of makeup for ever & l'oreal cosmetics
...casio & timex wristwatch
...an ipod
...a portable cd player
...vidal sassoon hair styler set
...a small box of trinkets and accessories
...dolce & gabbana light blue, davidoff cool water woman, benetton inferno pink perfumes
...a savings account

so, if i were to auction them all up, including an introduction to all my friends, a 2-month training to my work as tsr 3 @ etelecare, getting to know my boyfriend, and living with my family in an old house in paranaque, how much will i make? and what will i become after having nothing but a piece of cheque?

the idea is outrageous, and people who would do that is probably been in his most down moment and decided to just make money out of it.

if, (IF!Ü) time comes and i'd auction my life for money, i'll make sure to max up my credit limit worth of travel and food (things that can't be acquired by the winning bidder. lol.Ü)
