olympic torch sellers

Damn.

What's wrong with selling them? Most of the people who were selected had to buy the torches themselves; they weren't given the torches for free. If they can turn their purchase into a tidy profit, why not?

I have no issue with them wanting to sell them. I wouldn't sell mine but I don't have one... :P

Why shouldn't they sell them? It's a unique and special set of torches sure, but it's their property; let them do with it as they please.

There was a woman on BBC news the other day who had a final bid of £153,000 ($240,000~) or something ridiculous for hers. Presumably it's a joke bid, but most will fetch a few thousand at least.

Its just the principle behind them selling the torches before they've even run with them. If they waited to sell them i doubt anyone would've heared about it. Tazzman1000

As for TC's question. The olympic torch runners have to by the torch for £200 IIRC if they want to keep it. If they want to sell it it's their choice. ersonally if I got the chance to run with the olympic torch I'd keep it, but to some people the money is more valuable.

I'd sell mine if I was given one.
