Ian Usher, from Perth in Western Australia, is offering his house, job, lifestyle and friends to the highest bidder in an online auction.
Mr Usher is single, 44, owns a house complete with spa, and goes skydiving and jet skiing.
But he was not looking for a potential partner when he put this information on the net. He was looking for someone to take over his life.
The Perth resident wants a new start after his marriage break-up and says all he wants to keep of his life in Perth is his wallet and passport.
He came to Australia from England in 2001, a year after getting married.
The couple bought a house, made friends, found work and enjoyed the relaxed lifestyle. But when the relationship ended, Mr Usher decided it was time to give it all up.
He is offering his furnished home, car, motorbike, jet ski and introductions to his friends to the highest bidder in an online auction.
"The home was something that we were building together and all the furniture in there was stuff that we bought together in the last home we had, so there is a lot of memories attached to it and sort of, that's in front of me on a daily basis," he said.
"So I thought, 'well, if I'm selling the house, how do I sell the stuff? Do I sell one piece at a time in the paper? Do I send it to an auction house or what do I do?'
"And then I was just hit with this idea, why not put it all together in one auction?"
