Cup thrown at Artest for sale on e-Bay, then taken off November 23, 2004 The cup that ignited the biggest brawl in U.S. sports history could have been yours. An item purported to be the cup thrown from the stands at Pacers player Ron Artest last Friday night was on eBay for less than 24 hours after bidding went out of control. The cup, listed for sale by someone from Sterling Heights, Mich., was put up for auction Monday, but the bidding was closed Tuesday afternoon when the price went to $99,999,999. In the description of the cup, the seller wrote: ``No sports collection will be complete without the addition of this vintage championship collector's edition beer cup. Simply a must for all Artest fans.'' There also were several photos of the cup hitting Artest, though there is no way to prove its authenticity. After Artest was hit with the cup, he went into the stands, setting off a melee between players and fans. Artest was suspended for the season, while teammate Stephen Jackson was suspended 30 games and Jermaine O'Neal 25.
This is stupid, why would anyone be STUPID enough to believe the seller?? He can just happen to be a regular Pistons fan that has seen the cup and has a fake one.I cant believe people are going to spend 100 million dollars for that one cup.
I could have went out and bought a cup right now from Acme and said it was the cup that hit Artest. Anyone will buy anything on eBay...it's pretty scary what kind of stuff they have on it...
This isnt the first time i've heard about weird things beeing sold on ebay. I heard some guy was selling chewing gum that Britney Spears chewed on and the crazy thing was somebody bought it for over 1000 dollars.
Yeah and I seen on ebay that they had a old ass grilled cheese sandwich for sale because he had marks shaped up as Monalisa I think. I think the sandwich was over 10 years old and the cheese was still yellow. Anyways I will alway remember that guy who threw the cup at Artest (forgot his name though) for having great aim and saying that it was going so fast that he didn't even know what was happening. Hahaha when he started it and threw cheap shots from the back. "It was going on all so fast"
