You're probably aware of Michael Landy, the conceptual artist who is systematically destroying everything he owns. Take a walk past the old Marble Arch C&A store on Oxford Street over the next week or so, and you can watch him feed all his possessions into a machine which will reduce them to pellets. And it really is everything he owns - all of his clothes, electrical goods, his passport, his own artworks and those he owns by Damien Hirst and his girlfriend Gillian Wearing.

Receiving less publicity is American student John D Freyer, who, via EBay, is selling everything he owns at all my life for sale. Items currently under the hammer include furniture, a Pez dispenser, unidentified photographs, and the opportunity to be his roommate. Previous items have included a date with his girlfriend, drinks with his friends Maya and Shari, and a cheeseburger with his friend Sara.
