Normaly reading for me is a pain, I can not sit down and focus because much of what I have to read does not intrest me or keep my attention. But "All My Life For Sale" did I liked the concept of it. I have never heard of anyone selling all there life pocesions. He remined me of pack rat, when I picture his appartment I think of my grandparents house. My grandma Insits she needs too keep everything and that everything has a used, or will at some point.
I liked that he wanted to know where all his stuff was going to, and how it was being used. It intrested me, I have not ever sold anything on ebay but my parents have. I think its so intresting how it can be sold to anywhere. I can not believe he just picked up and left to go to the places where people have bought stuff of his. I could never see myself being that kind of person. His whole goal was to leave and return to Ney York, but while he was away for so long and spent all his money he relized he really did not want to move back, but yet stay at his current place of residence.
I could never see myself selling all that I had. I would miss all my cloths and personal belongings. I think its funny how he went to visit someone who bought his salt shaker, I mean come on its a little salt shaker. I do not understand also if he didnt have very much money how could he travel to all these places to visit all the people? I liked at the end some of the clips from the people who bouhght his stuff, for instance the guy who bought his last winter jacket, and how he felt bad cause it was one of the coldest winters there. It is amazing what some people will do, selling all that you own is a crazy idea but this it is 2010 and anything is posible now a days.
For most readers, Freyer's visits to the buyers seem to be the most perplexing aspect of his sale. Good question about how he financed it - student loans, perhaps?
