Spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller and two partners have
proved victorious in the auction to own
Elvis Presley's Tennessee house on Audubon Drive in Memphis. The house went for a final bid of
$905,100 on eBay. Geller plans to restore the house and maybe one day turn it into a museum. The four-bedroom house was Elvis's home for a little over a year before he moved to Graceland. Geller had dropped out of the bidding last month when the price started to take off but eventually hooked up with two partners to score the home.

Sadly, the deal didn't go through; it turns out that eBay auctions aren't legally binding, and there was some kind of complication, the gist of which appears to have been that one of Geller's partners, a New York lawyer named Peter Gleason, tried to vary the contract in a way the vendors didn't like. Then he couldn't be contacted for two weeks. So the house was sold to a L.A. record producer who paid a higher price.
