Well, under the "WHY" section, he explains it. He doesn't come right out and give all the details, but eludes to his wife being killed somehow, unexpectedly. If I didn't have kids to take care of and think about and something happened to my wife, I'd likely go pretty far off the deep-end. I can sort of see where he's coming from.

If he's being truthful about the "WHY", then I don't judge him at all. I can see where he would want to get away from the memories and start all over again. Maybe a bit extreme, but I can sympathize with the "why".

How can you put your memory's,gratifications,accomplishments, and for that matter self worth on a scale of monetary value?????My life is not one of a silver spoon, but I would not trade it for anything.I will trade a day off to ride if anybody wants to cover a day of work for me however.

It sounds like his wife was his life, and since she is no longer in it, there's nothing left for him there. He isn't necessarily selling his memories, just the tangible things attatched to it because it is all likely a painful reminder of what he no longer has.

Not saying i'd do the same but I understand. Oh good luck finding someone to agree to your trade offer !
