I heard they sold out the first day after hearing from numerous sources they would partition out stock over the whole convention and a bunch more for online sales. Good joke.

Also please note the $70 raver DJ Pony in the search.
Fingers crossed that the friend who had to do a different friend a favor and get him some of those raver ponies was able to grab me a set while waiting in the same line, but given the news Alex had, that's probably unlikely.

Complete sets are selling for around $400 on eBay.

I've only ever done this with E3 and most of the stuff there isn't worth more than $10, almost not even worth the hassle of carting around/listing on eBay. I usually just try and break even on my admission.
Most of the stuff at E3 isn't limited numbers of Batman-themed poker chip sets or cosplay items from a great if not forgettable Batman story arc. Or limited edition My Little Pony figures.

They aren't going to be worth that much anyway, most Conswag hits eBay for practically nothing because people grab as much free shit as possible.
Court of Owls masks were being given away for free at San Diego and NY Comic Cons and were on eBay for $40+ a piece. They're still going for $24-80+ depending on whether or not they're signed. And Court of Owls ended and was forgotten about months ago.

Limited edition free (and for sale) con swag, especially at those two conventions, is resold for huge amounts more than the base cost. One of my friends goes each year and makes absurd sums off of collecting swag and reselling it after the convention (in addition to doing reporting on new statues).
