Having a midlife crisis? Then why not become this guy?

Among the things you’ll get along with your new life:

- Clothes
- Roughly 300 CDs
- Surfboard

As well as lessons:

- Surfing (Expert)
- Climbing (Intermediate)
- Skateboarding (Novice)
- Handstand Skills (Expert)

Note that according to the eBay auction (now over AU$30k), the following provisions apply:

- A friend owes me $20. Another friend owes me a six-pack of beer which you can redeem upon winning the bid.
- The winning applicant should probably shout the next $20 worth of weed.
- Will introduce to all my friends & potential lovers (around 8 which I have been flirting with)
- I have around 15 close friends and around 170 other friends
- I have 2 nemeses.
- Lifestyle is very social. It includes a lot of going out.

This whole thing makes me wonder what people would pay to live the life of me, Insider. You’d get:

My friendship with the genius behind Hello Rocky.
My collection of computer video games (going back to the 80s), PS2 games, and the original 8-bit Nintendo System.
Extensive progressive rock and punk album collection now digitized and organized on iTunes.
Netflix & Gamefly subscriptions.
Generally worthless stock in several circa-90’s dot-coms.
“Vintage” clothes existing largely of Gap jeans and old running t-shirts.
My collection of Melissa Theuriau photographs (including some NSFW)
Most importantly, via your ownership stake in Independent Sources, you’re opinions will be read by millions of thought leaders (which is how I describe the people reading this blog, you included)

Let me know what you think that’s worth and I consider putting it up on eBay.
