I don't believe sales are allowed on the show floor. Sometimes they are, and |
| 7 |
when they are in California you have to have a special license, deal with |
| 8 |
sales tax, yadda yadda.. |

Mozilla Foundation got around this last year by offering items and having a |
| 11 |
"recommended donation" price sheet for those items. You can't enforce the |
| 12 |
prices on people (well, you can but if you got caught doing so it might |
| 13 |
jeopardize future invitations). I think that the show people were a bit |
| 14 |
unhappy about that situation anyway. To top it all off, it was embarrassing |
| 15 |
that some of our own devs got away with $35 firefox polo shirts for only $5. |

So you run the risk of losing money on the ordeal as well. |

Something to think of for future shows.. |
