Spot above Marilyn Monroe is still available for $4.5 million

After receiving an invoice for the winning bid to spend eternity on top of the sexy screen siren Marilyn Monroe, the Japanese bidder says, “Oops, I don’t have the $4.6 million to pay.”

“I am awfully sorry, but I need to cancel this because of the paying problem,” the unidentified bidder said in an email.

The Beverly Hills widow, who had placed the crypt on eBay where her dead husband was laid to rest, was forced to go back to 11 other bidders, who bid at least $4.5 million, asking them to submit new offers within 24 hours.

The bidding started at $500,000 and within three days, shot to $4.6 million.

The eighty-year-old widow, Elsie Poncher decided to sell the crypt at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park, where her late husband is buried face down looking at Monroe, in order to pay off the mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.

“I can’t be more honest than that,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “I want to leave my house free and clear for my kids.”

Poncher’s husband, Richard, who was a huge fan of Monroe, had purchased the crypt from Joe DiMaggio during his divorce from the sexy vixen.

Poncher said her husband, who died 23 year ago, told her on his dying bed, “If I croak and you don’t put me upside down over Marilyn, I’ll haunt you the rest of your life.”

And I ask, “What recession?”
