Why not?

Jaguarenterprises can probably fill in the details, but I believe that the winner signs a contract agreeing that the Oscar can never be sold.  It can be returned to the Academy (and some of them have been) but it can never be exchanged for monetary value.   I believe it can be given away (how likely is that?), bequeathed to an heir (happens all the time), but auctioned for sale?  No. 

There were a couple Oscars floating around that predate the “no sale” rule and those were occasionally sold; the last time one of them came up for sale at auction, Stephen Spielberg bought it for a cool million and then immediately donated it back to the Academy.

I can't see a Sandow selling for more than $10K and even them I'm not sure who would buy it.  Schmoes will pay for fle$h not a trophy. :D

can the sandow be used as a dildo?  if not, i'd estimate its value at zero.

I wonder what one could get at, say, a Pawn Shop, for a Sandow......I doubt they'd know who it is, and what it stands for.

I heard that Dorian has sold off 5 of his sandows for MMA training...Sounds like a Bullshit story but I could see Dorian doing something like that...

How much would a Sandow go for on ebay or at auction? ???

When hard times hit a few years ago tennis great Bjorn Borg tried to sell a few of his Wimbledon trophies and tennis rackets... 

They can't be sold now but once or twice some old Oscar statuettes were sold at auction and snagged a million dollars.
borg never sold those

doubt he intended

his rackets would be ok as they are memorabilia and many greats do that

There were many stories about it at the time... every tennis fan saw them.
