>the Theranos swag market is hot right now (check eBay if you're curious).

I was curious. My ebay search for "theranos" turned up 50 items. There were fleece jackets with high asking prices, so that certainly was something. But everything else I saw for mugs and hats and t-shirts was in the $20-50 range.

Most of those were likely never truly distributed specifically to employees in the first place. Reprint or print on demand swag is generally obvious with the white background. Look for real photos, especially in people’s homes.

In my totally arbitrary set of rules the item must have been available or given to employees only.

Here’s one I’d love to get my hands on if not for the price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255014966170?hash=item3b6013939a:g:...

As someone who used to work there and has one of those water bottles and likely knows the person selling that one on ebay (based on the username) I find this hilarious...

So… how much you want for it?

Until seeing your comment I had never considered that someone might actually want any of that stuff, so I had never considered selling or otherwise parting with it since it is fun to keep all that stuff around. I'll certainly let you know first if I decide to part with it, though.

I have one too. Slightly used so you know it's authentic :) How much would you pay for something like this?

Seems like plenty of new things not collectors items.
