I am looking for a place to sell sports trophies given to my children. Can you help?

I don't know about who buys them but girls and boys clubs, etc world wide will taken them FREE and then reuse them, get the names, off, etc
This is always a high need. Check with your local community education through school.
Local schools may use them as well. Our school reuses trophies for our curling bonspiels.
I don't know of any place where you could sell them, except perhaps at a yard sale. (Where people buy them for a quarter each, and then donate them to clubs or schools!)

I was the winner of the California State Duncan Yo Yo Championship in 1971. One of the items I was awarded for winning was this trophy. I am going to sell it.
Does anyone know of buyers or collectors of this type of item that would like to purchase it from me?
Thank you.
I just check this site yoyo.collectionhero.com/
There is still a lot of interest in everything about the Yo Yo world but it may be difficult right now to generate enough interest to pay you what your trophy may be worth in better times.
I did find a lot of sites that sell the Yo Yo paraphernalia but not any that seem to be set up for individuals to sell their pieces. I'm sure some of these might buy your trophy but not for very much money.
Since this is a unique item you would just have to place a price that you feel you would sell it for. Do not set a smaller price with an auction on eBay hoping to get more money because that does not always happen and you have to sell for whatever is the ending bid.
Set your price and keep it listed for several months before reducing as this will not be easy to sell (usually - but auctions can be weird and the right person may see it the first week).
Is this your posting?

Sometimes there are sports shops in a local area that will let you display things like this (for sale) so maybe you might check out any in your area.
I have a collection of old go-cart and micro-sprint racing trophies. I would like sell them, but if not I need to get rid of them.

You should be able to donate those trophies to organizations that hold those sorts of activities. Take off the engraved plaques, and pass them along for re-use. However, I don't think you should expect to get paid for these.
I have about 7 trophies that I would like to sell for any amount of money. Where can I sell them? They are from 1995+.

I am not sure there is much of a market for these except, perhaps, at a yard sale. You can give them to goodwill or the Salvation Army, as they sell them in Thrift Shops (for next to nothing). Sometimes schools and clubs take them, change out the tops, and give them for activities in their organizations.
I live in Toronto, Ontario where can I go to sell an old trophy?
It would need special 'provenance' to be worth much. Can you find the original sponsor of the trophy to see if they still exist or have any records? Otherwise find a club matching the trophy; sports club, horse clubs, sewing clubs.
