The 1984 LA Olympics did that too. Granted, that was before eBay, but I remember them auctioning off all sorts of stuff, including the special freeway signs. I have no problem with that. I think it makes the fans happy they can own a piece of the Olympics and it makes the organizers happy because it offsets some costs. IIRC, the 1984 Olympics was the first one to ultimately end up with a budget surplus. If auctioning off all the hardware puts them under budget, more power to them.
