In 2003, I sold everything I owned on eBay.

Welcome to AllMyLifeForSale, a project that explores how identity is shaped by the objects and brands that we buy.

All of my possessions were catalogued on this site and then individually offered for sale in an on-line auction with a starting price of one dollar. By telling the story
of each item and selling it to the highest bidder,
I discovered its true emotional and financial value.

You can find out more about these pieces of my life

So what is the relationship between
what we own and who we are?

Do the things we buy really reflect who we want to be?

Will changing what you have change who you become?

Does having less stuff make you less of a person?
