DC9 - I am the Fed Tshirt Available

[skroo]

I see your sandwitch and cheetos and raise you half a diet soda.

Okay, so far we've got:

- The uneaten part of my egg salad sandwich
- Three Cheetos
- Half a diet soda

Can't lose out on this one... I'll raise *you* some sugar packets I found in my rucksack. Not sure where I got them exactly, but they were from somewhere adjacent to this year's con. One of them has a slight tear but I think I can get the sugar back in.

P.S.: Can I PayPal this if I win?

Well, since im not a fed the shirt doesnt
really suit me. I traded a mug at DC9 for
the shirt from one of the guys running the
event. At the time i was working for the Ontario
Provincial Police and gave them a particularly cool
mug with a nice pewter OPP logo on the mug.

A guy i spoke to at this years defcon
had mentioned that he knows of at least one
instance where a fed traded the shirt for.... (now im
not sure if this part was true) about $400 worth of
swag or computer gear or something....

Anyways, thats why i was curious if it was
something that was really sought after by
the community.... aparently not. :S

Honestly, that's about the real value of stuff like this - it's a swappable for other nifty TLA goodies. Somewhere around here I've got about eight or so unopened Fed shirts from various Defcons that I'm keeping around for exactly those reasons.

Assuming it is true, Barnum's rule applies :)

Well back at DC8 I traded stuff like crazy because it was my first defcon. Now I'm a little wiser and know it don't cost that much. :>
