Regular  589   Wisconsin |  Subject: Selling your medal on EbayI finished Steelhead 70.3 this weekend, and saw that I could buy the finishers medal on Ebay for $59 from a private party. Is this common? |

The only reason I can possibly think of is if you were a finisher of that race, and lost your own medal, but wanted to have one for sentimental reasons. |

Champion 6993 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: Selling your medal on Ebay I looked to buy medals on ebay. Looking for Chicago Marathon 2004 and Boston marathon 2008. Reason why because I would love to hang them in my office but I do not want to bring the ones I earned to the office just in case. I seen Boston marathon medals go for $100+ couple days after the marathon. I suspect its more finish line volunteers grabbing an extra medal or 2 than finishers. Then again you never know If you can do a race and get good portion of the entry fee back by selling your medal which you do not care about then why not? |

| Veteran 379 | Subject: RE: Selling your medal on Ebay I can see buying one off ebay to create a memorial shadow box/collage type thing for a loved one as a gift. also, I had my garage broken into several years ago - they took my box that had my marathon medals. if medals for any of those races ever popped up, I'd buy them ... but not for $59. $20, yes, $59, no. |

I figured you were referring to the sold auction since you quoted my post with links to sold auctions, specifically the one that sold for $22. |

Extreme Veteran 863 West Michigan | Subject: RE: Selling your medal on Ebay Steelhead ran out of finisher medals and some people were pretty upset. I did hear the RD was going to mail the medal to them, however, not too many people were thrilled with that either since it's not given at the finish line. |
