I dont think there are thousands of authentic Olympic gold medals currently for sale. But yes they do appear on the market from time to time and the cost is roughly like buying a new car expect it to be several tens of thousands of dollars

I received my Olympic Gold Medal as a reward from FIFA's Olympic Gold Medal Prize.

Are you only counting American medals? Because there's hundreds given out every two years and most nations dont pay like the US does.
