KEY POINTS:
British singer James Blunt once sold his sister on eBay.
The singer was so addicted to the internet auction site he sold his sibling and she is now engaged to the winning bidder.
James said in an interview with GQ magazine: "The stupidest thing I've ever sold is my sister, on eBay.
"I was waiting for my first album to come out and ended up selling pretty much everything I owned on eBay. I had a mild addiction.
"Anyway, I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn't get to a funeral in Ireland. "The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay, 'Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour! Desperate to get to a funeral in Southern Ireland, please help!'
"The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral.
"That was three years ago, this summer they're getting married!"
