In Antwort auf: DALLAS -- Dallas Stars captain Mike Modano never expected to find his 1999 Stanley Cup Championship ring on eBay.
But that's where the ring landed, and he is trying to get it back.
Modano told Fort Worth television station KTVT that he had taken the ring to Denis DeBoulle of DeBoulle jewelers in Dallas to get it duplicated and upgraded. Modano said the jeweler asked to keep the original to put on display and he agreed.
Apparently the jeweler then sold the ring to a Florida man, who put the ring up for auction on eBay. Bidding on the ring soared to at least $20,000, but the bid has dropped off the radar.
"The item was no longer on the site as of Thursday morning," eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove told ESPN.com. "I don't know if we decided to pull the item or the seller pulled it."
The eBay posting shows that the ring was authenticated by DeBoulle.
A woman at the shop told The Associated Press on Thursday that DeBoulle was out of town and not available for comment.
