In a recent interview with Guardian, the award winning singer, James Blunt revealed how he sold his sister on Ebay, the most widely used marketplace platform on the web.
James said:
“I was a big Ebay addict before my first album became a hit. I wanted to go on this tour of the world, so I started selling everything on eBay. I just sold all my shit. I literally came back to my empty, empty flat. Eventually there was nothing else to sell except her,”
He however didn’t put her on a direct sale. “She basically had a funeral to go to in Ireland and the planes were on strike and the ferries were out of season. So I put on EBay: “Damsel in distress needs knight in shining armour to get her to this funeral on Saturday. What can anyone do?”
“I can do this, I’ve got a helicopter, a bidder said”
“Anyway, now they’re married, they have been for five years and they’ve got two kids together.
“Anyway, now they’re married, they have been for five years and they’ve got two kids together.
He’s got some dough, he’s got a chopper, he’s a great guy. They named both their kids after types of helicopter,”
