Would you pay $50k for a WSOP bracelet?

[Suns of Beaches]

i would never buy this. i dont really like the design anyway but sure i would want to win one if i would win, chances are high i would sell it if the ammount offered is high enough

 

[AlbieTross]

Some things are only valuable when earned. This is like buying an Olympic Medal. Sure it’s cool to have but if you didn’t win it yourself, is it really that valuable?

 

[vuk011]

Never ever lol
I don't know what that would represent to anyone if they buy.

 

[gabryyyel31]

50k is a ton of dollars... If I could pay the bill with money from monopoly, definitely. :aetsch:

 

[CallmeFloppy]

Personally I would never want to buy one. However, I am sure there are some collectors out there that would probably buy this and others.

I am not sure he is going to get 50k for a bracelet he won in a $2500 Limit Omaha event though

 

[MikeCarasone]

Never. The only way I would want a coveted wsop bracelet would be to win it myself. I understand there are collectors and people who may want to buy one but that’s not me. Bracelets are very special achievements in poker, although now that they have so many events the allure has been diminished somewhat. Never the less I still hope to win one some day.

 

[Slacker]

No way. This is just sad.

What a DORK that you'd pay for this Hope youre doing well bud miss ya at the tables.

If I thought I could flip it for quick cash- yeah I'd buy it.
A '99 Omaha, won by WHO? Exactly.
IDK, highly doubt scrap comes close to 50k and the cool factor....eh, medium at best.
I'd pay 50k in a second for the 2018 WSOP main event bracelet. -- have to shuffle some things around but- YES- could get 50k quick if you got it and are interested
I'm sure there's guys out there wiling to pay much more than that.

Jostens are NICE- they make the superbowl rings too


So ,,, would I buy this guys '99 Omaha trinket for 50k? Nope. No way.
But hey- someone might.
And, if he needs the $ and the other party wants a bracelet they didn't win and likely can't resell for a profit. Eh- power to both. Enjoy

Would never buy one its something i could win myself. That amount would get me a house.

I don't see anything out of ordinary in buying a WSOP bracelet. It is a trophy after all. If some people pay more than $50 G for a stuffed lion killed by some hunter in Africa, there will be people willing to pay for a WSOP bracelet won by some little known poker player. Probably if one of the poker greats would sell one of his WSOP bracelets, it would fetch way more money.

I wonder whatever happened with this did he ever actually sell it on eBay? Someone should post an update about that LOL kind of silly who would ever spend 50k just to buy someone else's bracelet if they had that kind of money they could just buy into a few WSOP tourneys and try to win one themselves. Although over the years there have been a few guys that have actually sold their bracelets for money so I guess there's buyers for that

 

[KristaK]

hi hi :ciao:
no way!!
that is like purchase a military medal of bravery on ebay
has much different worth & meaning

This prompted me to find out if, in fact, the bracelet was sold. But, I came to a dead end. There was another article (not ours) that wondered if the eBay ad was legit, though. That's all I was able to find.

 

[mrgupta]

Hah, that would imply I even have that kind of money in the first place

 

[erce]

i think max what he ken get is 10k, but either way i wont to earn it not to buy it, bi earning it you can show how skillful you are, not how rich you are

 

[PelyaMX]

I would rather keep it for my grandsons in the memory & kind of legacy ... but to buy somebody's bracelet ... that's weird!

 

[CriesuaID]

No, it just makes sense for me to have a trophy that I won myself.

 

[xxxSSSxxx]

For me buying it would be pointless. But there are people who collect all kind of things

 

[Lucky Alalk]

Sell it and and win it back during game at some underground casino
