London, Oct 16 (ANI): The crypt above the one late Marilyn Monroe was laid to rest in has now been put back on the market.

Elsie Poncher had put her husband’s crypt up for sale on auction website eBay.com in August this year, and it quickly attracted bids over the 2.6 million pounds mark, reports the Daily Express.

Poncher, whose husband Richard has been buried in the plot for 23 years, finally accepted a bid from a Japanese buyer who pledged a staggering 2.9 million pounds offer.

But at the last minute the unknown bidder dropped out of the deal, and as Poncher was not able to attract other high bidders to purchase the crypt, she put the site back on eBay.

Only this time she is demanding up to a five per cent deposit before accepting any further bids.

The online auction will end on October 29. (ANI)
