When the house's owners hired a company to weed out phony bids, sales prospects dimmed quickly. None of the offers met the minimum bid of $120,000, and the online auction has now expired. The Grammy-winning rapper and star of "8 Mile," whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, lived in the suburban Detroit bungalow as a teenager. It was appraised at $91,000. Another former Eminem house in Detroit also failed to attract a minimum bid, which was set at $500,000, on eBay when the auction expired last week. A third house Eminem had lived in had attracted a bogus bid of $99.9 million, but the owner is still hoping to sell it for $2 million.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
