Can you buy or sell an olympic gold medal?

Question

or any olympic medal? If so, what's the average asking price?

Answer 1

You can buy anything for a price, depending on how much you want to SPEND., But it would mean a lot more if you had WON it

Answer 2

yes on ebay for about $20,000

Answer 3

Why would you do either?

The gold medal is just plated and contains about 6 grams of gold. It's monetary value is about $160 (given current value on the gold market).
