$4.5 Million Crypt For Sale- Location is Key!

A widow is selling her husband's burial plot on eBay in order to pay off her mortgage. But this is no ordinary plot. It's all about location, location, LOCATION!

The bidding for the plot opened at $500,000 on August 16th and reached $4.5 million by August 19th.

What makes this plot so special? Find out when you continue reading...

The Location...

The plot is directly above Marilyn Monroe's final resting place. In fact, the person with the winning bid will find themselves above Marilyn Monroe, looking face down onto her- for all of eternity.

The crypt is currently being occupied by the late Richard Ponter, who bought the crypt from the late baseball player Joe DiMaggio. DiMaggio was Marilyn Monroe's ex-husband, but they divorced in 1954.

Richard Poncher's widow, Elsie Poncher, is selling the crypt in order to pay off her 1.6 million dollar mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.

Times really must be hard.

The crypt is in the well known Westwood Village Memorial Park, in Los Angeles. Many celebrities have been buried there- such as Dean Martin, Truman Capote, James Coburn, and, most recently, Farrah Fawcett.

Playboy Hugh Hefner purchased the crypt beside Monroe in 1992.

Would you purchase a crypt beside Marilyn Monroe? Or rather, would you spend $4.5 million to lie next to Marilyn Monroe for all eternity?

My words are up.
