Crypt above Marilyn goes back on eBay

The crypt above Marilyn Monroe's resting place is going back up for sale on eBay.

Bidding for the marble mausoleum crypt will start at £312,500 beginning on Monday, according to organiser Eric Gazin of AuctionCause.com.

A previous £2.9 million bid for the space fell through in August when Elsie Poncher first attempted to auction her late husband's crypt.

The new eBay.com auction will end on October 29 and require a £3,100 refundable deposit.

Mr Gazin said he believed the crypt at Los Angeles' Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery would fetch "millions of dollars" at auction. Other celebrities including Farrah Fawcett, Natalie Wood, Rodney Dangerfield, Dean Martin, Jack Lemmon, Eva Gabor and Truman Capote are also laid to rest at the cemetery.
