Also not a fan of the idea of them bringing out new stock periodically. That sucks for the hardcore collector who does stand at the front of the line all night, who then maybe doesn't get what he was after even if he waits all day for new stuff to be brought out because there's always the chance someone who was at the back of the line now sees it first.

That was why the suggestion of 3-5 items first hour or two. Then all you can buy. Hard core collectors get the items they want most but others have something worthwhile.

If you are hardcore enough to wait all night, you should be hardcore enough to spend another couple of hours to satisfy your appetite for more.

Being first in line, should it entitle one to everything? Or just minimum the few top items.

Honestly I think that if you're willing to sit outside the Saddledome for 24 hours, sleeping there overnight on the concrete, potentially in the rain or whatever other ####ty weather comes about that year, then yes, being first in line entitles you to getting whatever the heck you want.

Did anyone get a pair of socks size large they would like to unload?

I didn't, but there looked to be a ton of L and XL socks left just after 12pm, so I imagine they will be posted on the Fan Attic site shortly. I believe mostly red and yellow ones. $5 each at the sale.

Fair enough. The flip side from the business perspective is if you would draw more people if there was better chance of getting something they want. The good stuff is going to sell anyways, maybe more satisfied fans is more returning customers, or more new customers.

I think I like the easter egg hunt idea anyways.
