For $3,500, (current bid, four days still left), a genuine championship ring from UNC's 2005 national championship season, can be yours via eBay.
Joe Ovies at 850 the Buzz has discovered that the ring was issued by the NCAA, not UNC, and at some point belonged to David Noel or someone in his family.
