Flipping 25 Lots Of SDCC '15 Swag From $10 To $212

If you go to San Diego Comic Con, you learn that everything has value. The free KFC comics being handed out. Your hotel keys. The giveaway posters. Someone somewher will pay you money. And if you can get a whole bag of stuff, someone will pay handsomely to give the impression that they too went to San Diego Comic Con.

Here are a few examples of successful sales on eBay of… well… Swag.

This back of mostly giveway materials probably did the best of all, sold for $212.

There's a closer look at some of the items. Over a hundred and fifty of them in fact. And pays for a couple of nigts of staying in that hotel….

$_57 (5)

Even just the swag bag from going to the Conan Bingo session will pay for that, hitting $180 without a sweat, and including SDCC exclusive Conan O'Brien Funko Pop #1, Conan Bingo logo mason jar, Conan bandana, I Love CoCo sunglasses, Flaming C logo credit card/ID holder for phone, Conan bingo card, Conan bingo bag

Plenty of other swag bags hit three figures, such as this collection of  He-Man Star Wars Skylanders Minecraft stuff for $127

 

 

$_57 (14)

Staying at the Hard Rock Hotel and grabbing their San Diego pins could see you  $100 up 

$_57 (13)

Just checking into your hotel, the right hotel, and jeeping your American Horror promo key and actual working key card brings in $70.

$_57 (7)

While a smaller collection of free stuff still pulled in $56. Around that fifty dollar mark, it starts to specialise as well.

$_57 (8)

Just the free Supernatural backpack with a few free magazines sells for $51.

$_57 (1)

Nothing but bags, buttons, lanyards and flyers still brings in $46.

$_57 (3)

These are the leftovers from mcuh more valuable swag also on eBay, but  $36 is $36!
