Uri Geller has failed to get a court to uphold an auction bid he made on Ebay for Elvis Presley’s house.

Geller sued the former owners of Elvis Presley’s pre-Graceland house after they went back on their commitment to sell it.

But owners Cindy Hazen and Mike Freemen insisted their decision to pull out of the deal was due to Geller’s last-minute alteration to their original terms of agreement on the property.. Instead they sold it to Nashville record producer Mike Curb, who bought the house for $1 million. Geller claimed that the couple had breached an Ebay contract to sell the place.

US District Judge Jon McCalla ruled that the Ebay auction was more of an advertising vehicle than a binding sale. He added that even if it was a contract, Geller and his partners breached it when they altered the closing terms after the sale.
