Anyone have an extra $27k lying around?

According to NBC, there's a Panthers 2015 Super Bowl runner-up ring up for sale on eBay.  No word yet on which player (coach? other eligible employee?) is hard up for the cash.

Wasn't it up for $30,000 or more recently?

[PanthersATL]

"Condition: New" seems a bit of a stretch. Perhaps "never worn" would be better?

Currently 27.5k.  

Jeez, I hope the price isn't dropping.

I didn't screenshot it, but I swear it was at least $30k before and didn't sell.  Someone please prove me wrong, because now that you mention it, that does make it sadder.

The video in this article has Mario's ring displayed for what it's worth.

I texted my girlfriend to see if she remember how much it was up for previously because I showed it to her and she replied " $35,000? " so I feel like it was definitely more recently.  :(

Here is the thread from when it was originally listed on Ebay.  Best I could do gents.

Yeah it's pretty sad tbh. A lot of these guys were never taught how to manage money.

Not only that, but they are in an environment where money is thrown around.  Some people feel pressured to go out with their friends when they can't really afford it, and we are talkin Outback Steakhouse, haha.  This is a level most of us will never understand.

Carl Nassib was talking about feeling the need to go out and buy a Rolex before meeting Taylor Swift so " she know I got it  ".  This is the culture they are in, and they are young and stupid.

Yes.

The % of NFL and NBA players who go broke in less than 10 years after they retire (or are cut) will blow your mind.
