ELVIS HOME SELLS ON EBAY

Celebrity Psychic Wins Bid for Elvis House

Celebrity psychic Uri Geller was the winning bidder for a Memphis house where Elvis Presley had lived just as his career was taking off.

Geller says he knew his bid of $905,100 was a winner last week just as the eBay auction closed because the radio began playing “Love me Tender.”

Geller, an Israeli who lives outside London, is buying the house with two partners: Peter Gleason, a New York attorney and retired firefighter, and Lisbeth Silvandersson, a jewelry maker who lives in England.

They plan to restore the four-bedroom home to its original splendor and bring sick children from Palestine, Israel, and America to see it. They hope to eventually turn it into a museum.

When Presley lived in the home, he appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, starred in "Love Me Tender," bought his pink Cadillac, and posed in his gold lame suit.
