4) ''All My Life for Sale'' Chronicles Adventures of an eBayer
By Ina Steiner
Remember the guy who sold all his possessions on eBay? Surprise, now he's written a book. John Freyer sold all of his possessions on eBay, then visited his onetime possessions in their new homes. ""All My Life for Sale" is the extraordinary record of this project: part autobiography, part travelogue, and part cultural commentary, it offers a meditation on what the objects we surround ourselves with actually mean to us, and what happens when we set them free."
