Most military medals can be sold at a garage sale or back to a military surplus store with one major exception - the Medal of Honor. It cannot be sold, ever.
Some online retailers have their own policies - please check with the company for what their requirements are.
Purchasers of medals can only have them to look at - they cannot be worn, because they were not earned by the purchaser (unless he or she was replacing a medal that was lost or damaged).
