Singer Reveals How He Sold His Sister On Ebay

James Blunt in a recent interview, revealed that his obsession with Ebay, made him sell his sister on the website.

English singer James Blunt has made a confession that he once sold his sister on Ebay.

The singer during an interview with the Guardian, said he put up his sister for sale on Ebay after his obsession with the auctioning website got a tad out of hand.

" 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 told Guardian.

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?"

James Blunt said after the auctioning, he got numerous bid and the winning guy said "I can do this, I’ve got a helicopter."

It was also a happy ending for his sister as she eventually married the man who "bought" her from James Blunt.

"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," James said.
