There must be players, assistant coaches, trainers, equipment managers, etc. who are in trouble and need to sell their rings. Why are none of them ever listed online- do the leagues or teams buy them up immediately to avoid embarrassing player situations?

Some teams like the Cowboys make players sign agreements they will return the ring if they no longer want it.

They may forbid selling of them. Plus have you ever seen one it would take a lot of money to buy one especially if it got on open auction online. Those things have ridiculous diamonds and jewels and weigh a ton. I don't think the average person could ever afford one.

There aren't a lot of mothers or sisters for sale either. There are some things you just DON'T sell.

Highly doubt anyone with a ring ever was broke enough to have to sell.

some has been sold you see them every now and then but most players give them to their moms and dads fvor their support of him thru his playing days, but their are rep for sale all the time////////////////////////////////////... http://search.ebay.com/superbowl-rings_W...
but it would take big bucks to get one, and when you do see the real thing it would be those big outfits auction houses

Actually it was just announced that the Steelers are auctioning off a set of all 5 rings. I'm guessing that will sell for about $1 million
