i really think you're in the wrong place to try to pawn off a nycm finishers medal. most folks in here probably throw out medals by the bagful every year.
what is the point in buying a medal from a race you never ran anyway?
The point in buying a finisher's medal from a marathon you haven't run is that you never know when you'll need a birthday present for Chandra Bozelko.
man,the medal is up to 54 bucks. that is sad.
True. A sad sad day when someone buys a Marathon finishers medal. Maybe Martin Franklin will sell his map to the finish.
"Let them know they are a finisher in your heart!" (from the finishers medal sellers text). That is the sickest thing I have ever seen. That runner should be ashamed to offer such a thing for such a reason. I can't believe that 6 people have put in a bid for it. Disgusting. Truly disgusting.
my only guess would be that there are a few yahoos out there that think the trinket is made of some precious/semi-precious metal and they can melt it down, a'la saturday morning cartoon, and profit from it.
The postcards were a free give-away at the Asics/NYRRC booth...give me a break.
The poncho's, too, were given out free by the truckload. I have one but I would have taken more if I thought people would actually buy them on eBay.
