There may be more of the less desirable stuff left at the end, but then it comes down to whether the point of this sale is for the Flames to suck every cent they can out of fans or to provide an opportunity for fans to get some cool gear. I was under the impression that the general idea was more towards the latter, but perhaps that has changed.
Out of curiosity have you seen any of the stuff for resale from the group at the front of the line? I can tell you for a fact that none of that stuff from the 1st group of people has been listed for sale? I know this because the pic I posted is from them. When I posted it people started to ask me so I asked him if he could sell anything. He said I would let go of these things if I had to. Which I then told guys who messaged me that these would be for sale if they wanted them. These guys buy stuff for their personal use and their own collection for the most part. I don't see a problem with what they do and I plan to be at the front of the line next year buying just as much as they do. Do they buy stuff for friends who can't make it? Yeah I'm sure they do but who wouldnt do that for their friends?

As far as the money concerned, go back and look at prices from 3 or 4 years ago and Im sure you will see the trend is to make considerable more money from the equipment sales.
