Christmas Sells on eBay in April?
The classic holiday movie "A Christmas Story" was filmed at a home in Cleveland and this has now been listed on eBay with a starting bid for the four-bedroom house of $99,999.
The buyer - Brian Jones - could not resist when his wife told him eBay was offering the house where the film family had lived during the 1940s. The main character called Ralphie had daydreams of shooting wrong-doers with a BB gun that he was hoping to get for Christmas.
Brian Jones of San Diego purchased the house on eBay for $150,000 and plans to restore the home's exterior to the yellow and green-trimmed windows as in the movie and remodel the interior to resemble its movie appearance.
Jones also wants to create a museum in the house complete with gift store selling items associated with the movie. Apparently, these including Ovaltine, Little Orphan Annie decoder rings and "leg lamps" like the one Ralphie's father proudly displayed in the front window of his family's house in the “Christmas Story” film.
Presumably, having got such a good deal on the house, Jones will also be selling his movie memorabilia on eBay not just locally but across the world.
