The gold medals from the upcoming 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be reserved for the best athletes in the world, but businesses can still buy a piece of the historic athletic competition. RGS Events, the official supplier of furniture, fixtures and equipment supplier for the Games, will be auctioning various items straight from athlete apartments and venues in Rio.
Using the marketplace B-Stock Events operated by B-Stock Solutions, users can bid on more than 1.3 million items that will be used in Rio.
