Based on what I saw of All My Life for Sale, it seems that the goal is to make each item truly meaningful to whomever buys it, as well as turning the item itself into an art piece. In the photos, the items were posed purposefully in order to look appealing and well thought out. Each photo is accompanied by a short history of the item. These histories are a work of art on their own, poetically describing the item, what it means to it's current owner, and where it came from. All of the items on the site are pretty unique, in that there is usually only one of each item available. Overall, All My Life for Sale gave off the vibe of an online, hipster-esque art museum; each item it's own exhibit.
