All My Life For Sale

At first when I first started reading the selection on Freyer auctioning off all of his stuff I almost thought that this man must be crazy for just selling everything he owns! But, as I read on it made alot more sense because I can deffinately connect with Freyer alot when he says "I have always been the type of person who holds on to things-who saves objects that are obviously broken, with the hope that I will be able to use them in a project or eventually even get them fixed." When I read this my first thought was of myself, just possibly not to the extent of Freyer. I can't help it, whether it's broken, old, useless or my clothes I just feel that if I get rid of whatever the object is that someday I may need it/want it, or it could be useful.

His story did turn out to be very interesting. He left for three months and realized that he acquired more things than he had left behind and decided that it was just too much. He felt that if he sold off all of his extra stuff that he did not need he would not be tied down.

Freyer's idea to sell off all of his stuff turned out to be an awesome project. He valued his things so he left a little story with all of the things he posted to sell. Then he became interested in where his things were going and who the owners were. I think that it is awesome that he made selling his stuff so personal and basically went on an adventure traveling to meet the people he had sold his stuff to and was so interested in their story of how they used what they had bought off of him.

Personally I think what Freyer did was awesome. Myself I feel that I have way too much stuff than I will ever know what to use it for. It really made me think of all the stuff that I have and how much better I would probably feel if I could get rid of alot of my stuff.
