BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — There were no buyers Sunday at the auction of a 1940s stag film that an events promoter claims shows a young Marilyn Monroe having sex before she became a movie star.
The auction was a flop. Nobody came forward willing to pay Mikel Barsa’s starting price of 2 million Argentine pesos, about $480,000.
Barsa said it didn’t help matters that a spokeswoman for Monroe’s estate was quoted in an interview calling the whole thing a fraud.
Barsa said he was still negotiating with an unidentified buyer from Denver who he said was offering much less than a fair price.
