I have done something similar and have no regrets. I have sold marathon finisher's medals for a tidy little sum and have not regretted it for a minute. I listed mine on Craig's list and had good luck. Make sure you advertise 'Serious offer's only', if not you will get some jokers offering up their younger sister, their mom, etc. I used my medals to raise the money for a downpayment on a house, so that is nothing to sneeze at. I imagine an olympic medal will fetch similar returns.
Good luck and keep it real.
Do you have any medals still for sale? I've been trying to buy some, but they're hard to come by these days. Obviously, I'd prefer marathon medals, but will consider 1/2 marathon too - and possibly 10k/8k if the price is right. Thanks.
