BELMONT, North Carolina -- 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 Greensboro 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.
