BELMONT, North Carolina Dec 29, 2004 ? Miss your chance to buy some water from a cup once used by Elvis Presley? Don't be disappointed now you can bid on a chance to see, but not own, the cup that held the water.
The North Carolina man who sold the water on eBay last week
is now auctioning off a one-time appearance of the Styrofoam cup that originally held the water.
Wade Jones retrieved the cup and water when he went to a Presley concert in Charlotte in 1977.
He saw Presley drink from the cup while introducing his band, and later asked a security guard to give him the cup as a souvenir.
The water, sealed in a glass vial, sold for $455 on the online auction site on Saturday.
Jones doesn't want to sell the cup, but is willing to put it on display.
He wanted a minimum bid of $300, plus travel expenses, for an appearance by the cup, preferably on Elvis's birthday Jan. 8. As of Wednesday morning,
Jones had received one bid for $300.
