eBay Seller Gets $4.6 Million for Marilyn Monroe Tomb Plot

A widow just sold her husbands spot directly above the resting place of the late Marilyn Monroe to pay off her mortgage. The seller, Elsie Poncher but the ad on eBay to auction the tomb that resides in Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles.

The ad simply stated…

Here is a once in a lifetime and into eternity opportunity to spend your eternal days directly above Marilyn Monroe.  This crypt in the famous Westwood Cemetery in West Los Angeles currently occupied above Marilyn Monroe is being vacated so as to make room for a new resident. "Spending Eternity next to Marilyn Monroe is too sweet to pass up", recently quoted by Hugh Heffner, who has reserved his place in eternity next to her.  The lucky bidder will be deeded a piece of real estate that he or she will make their last address. And below you will be Marilyn Monroe.  In fact the person occupying the address right now is looking face down on her.

Amazingly this item ended on August 24, 2009 at Noon PST for a whopping $4,602,100.00…I love the shipping terms! Local Pick-up offered, LMAO
