Another WSOP bracelet for sale, this time from 1991 Main Event winner Brad Daugherty, fails to sell on eBay. HOW VERY SAD INDEED

I wonder how many athletes sell things like super bowl rings or boxing tittle belts? It would be interesting to see if it's a similar percentage. I think because poker involves and is still sum what considered gambling those that sell (or try to sell) are quickly labelled degenerates.

The bidding reached 30k though, that's plenty of money for a bracelet from a really forgettable winner 20 years ago. Only reason it failed to sell is that he set the reserve price too high.

30k is way more than it's worth.

People want a 1996 Super Bowl ring because it's the Cowboys. People don't want a WSOP bracelect because it's Brad Daugherty(?).

$30,000 is definitely way more than it's worth because it's worthless to anyone but the actual winner. Unless of course you can flip it for more money. But the fact that his name is on it and it's ugly and he's not really known would make no one want to buy it.

That said, high end memorabilia collectors would probably offer up a nice amount of dough for something like a Main event bracelet. If he wanted to make serious money selling it he shoulda gone that route instead of ebay.

Someone bid $30,100 for it, yet we have multiple people debating whether or not it is worth $30,000.

Quality definitions of "worth" ITT.

The breakdown value is worth something. Not sure of the quality/size of the diamonds but they are worth something.

I guess Brad finished his NBA career and then decided to give poker a try. He was pretty good at both.

He probably saw Peter Eastgate's bracelet sell for over $140K dorrars and set his reserve price way too high.

I put my Binion's Final Table hat on ebay.

It failed to sale. I had the reserve set at 400,000 seems fair no?

Guy should have snap accepted 30,000. Countdown til he ends up pawning it for a snickers.
