eBay winner of crypt above Marilyn Monroe backs out
I haven’t heard of something as dumb as this. An eBay bidder from Japan who agreed to pay $4.6 million for the mausoleum crypt above Hollywood sex symbol Marilyn Monroe has backed out of the deal due to some financial problem.
The Los Angeles Times reported the winning bidder e-mailed seller Elsie Poncher Monday, shortly after receiving an invoice, and called off the sale. “I am awfully sorry, but I need to cancel this because of the paying problem,” the message said. The 11 other bidders who offered to pay at least $4.5 million for the tomb at California’s Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park were told they had 24 hours to make an offer, the Times said. The bidding for the tomb reportedly started at $500,000 Aug. 14.
