After we won the conference championship, we all recieved white gold rings, and I'm trying to sell mine. The proceeds will be used to buy a new all silver ring (much cheaper) and extra money will go into paying for living expenses. Have any of you done this in the past? where is the best place? I am not taking this to a pawn shop.
The dollar value of the gold in a ring is quite small.
Moonlight waiting tables for a day or two and you'll make as much...
its gone from a value of 400 to about 600.

Then put it on ebay with a reserve of $600. If it gets close but does not make it you could do a second chance offer.
Nice conference prize. All I ever got was a piece of paper and a plaque. Same thing for All-American. I did get a watch with a gold inlay of the dome from the Notre Dame meet though.
you didn't get a ring? Man, your AD must have hated you. Or your school was flat broke.
If it was given to you that would an NCAA violation. Unless you are in the NIAA. In which I don't know about the rules.
You wont get 150 bucks on eBay
maybe I paid for it, maybe I'm in NIAA. maybe I stole it. Stop asking questions.
Dude, find a way to make some money and save it. Trust me. Some day you'll want to show "junior" your achievements and he'll come to appreciate it more than you ever did. My wife put away all my Olympic/marathon/road race credentials, old USSR jerseys I traded for, photos of me and others, Grand Prix meet t-shirts, articles, etc. so that my son (and other future kids) can enjoy. It is, after all, your achievements.
I didn't ask any questions.
There have been a total of 3 questions asked in this entire thread...all by you (salad shooter).
yes, I am conflicted. I'll keep it awhile longer and let its price go up.
Okay salad tosser, just sell the damn thing then. Hope you get caught. Or maybe get a second job... first job?
Why don't you just blow you're dealer like everyone else?
Um, the price isn't going up. Nobody wants a running ring, especially if they haven't earned it.
I'll give you $8 for it. If you are interested email me.
wrong. awards given by institutions or conferences are permissible and subject to certain limitations. see 16.1.4.2
"Awards for winning a conference or national championship in a team sport may be provided only to student-athletes who were eligible to participate in the championship event. The total value of any single award received for a national championship may not exceed $415. The total value of any single award received for a conference championship may not to exceed $325, and each permissible awarding agency is subject to a separate $325 limit per award. Each permissible awarding agency may provide only a single award for each championship to each student-athlete. Separate awards may be presented to both the regular-season conference champion and the postseason conference champion (with a separate $325 limitation), but if the same institution wins both the regular-season and postseason conference championship, the combined value of both awards shall not exceed $325."
unless you are saying it would be a violation to sell the award, in which case that's only true if the op is still in college. maybe that was your point. if so, my apologies.
Um... I was saying it may be a violation to sell the award... not to give out an award. Or maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying...
