London - James Blunt has revealed he sold his sister on eBay, Ananova.com
reports.

The singer came up with the idea so she could attend a funeral in Ireland.

The plan worked well for his sister as she is now dating the winner of the
auction.

According to IOL.com James said: "I had a bit of an eBay addiction and I sold
everything in my apartment in London and then I came in one day and my sister
was crying because she couldn't get to a funeral in southern Ireland.

"None of the planes were working, none of the trains, none of the ferries, so
I saw another golden opportunity to flog something and so I put my sister up on
eBay, saying, "Damsel in distress, needs to get to Southern Ireland. What do you
get out of it as a bidder? You just get to be a knight in shining armour."

"Everyone started bidding and a guy won and he had a helicopter and he could
fly her to the funeral in southern Ireland and they're now dating and they've
been going out for 18 months and she's living with him."

He said he has similar plans for his other sister, he added: "I have a second
sister, who's gonna go on sale soon."
