gueman Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ok...we often bitch and moan about fake jerseys on e-bay. But this takes the cake...Superbowl xxxi ring1) Not a real Superbowl Ring2) Not real gold..not even 14K3) Not real diamondsI could see paying maybe $50 for this as a trinket...but $1699. But then again, no one has bid on it either. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J.

OnWis97 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I cannot imagine that the bidders think this is real, particuarly since it has Favre's name on it. But then again, if they know it's not real, why pay that kind of money for it?

infrared41 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Those rings are usually salesman's samples. The ring companies use them to show to clients. It's not at all unusual for a player's name to be on the ring. If it is a salesman's sample they aren't that easy to get and they're never cheap. You'll see them on Ebay and they always go for over a grand. They are actually a collector's item. Those rings are usually dead on replicas of the real thing. So the guy that got it isn't quite the fool we think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have seen salesman samples on e-bay as well and while they are samples they are also of excellent quality. It wouldn't make much sense for a company to make a half ass sample, and say to the customer, "Well your's will be better". Sure it wouldn't be 18k gold and diamonds, but it would be the best quality the customer could produce. Just look at the close ups of the ring. The stones look like kidney stones, and the metal work looks like the cheap crap my 4 year old plays with. This is just a piece of junk.

Upon further review the ring looks like the guy made it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
