I can confirm a % of this expectation.  :)

I have requested to Killermundi a rough quote of the items you have
listed in order to get prices to compare. I have also requested an
estimation of transport costs.

The prices they gave us for the GNOME shop are around

- T-shirts: around 5€
- Mugs: 1-1,50€
- Polos: 1 color 10€
- Stickers, I had to send him sizes/colors to get the quote. Default
value 0,19€

We got these prices considering that Killermundi had to produce in
advance and manage their stock for the shop (risk for them). I mean,
prices could be better if we assure a fixed amount for the whole
GUADEC (no risk for them).

My only reason for pushing an expensive bag last year was to add
something distinctively local in the package, and brief checks with
some sponsors and the local team made me think it was a right thing to
do. I don't know if I would do this again. I know I wouldn't have done
it in, say, Birmingham.

A GNOME pint glass could be a cheaper equivalent for Birmingham.  :)

A good quality plastic bag (like those you get if you to expensive
shopping) full colored with tango palette can be a killer & very cheap
alternative this time.

We got them for about 1€ each, I think.  :?  Not from Killermundi,
that was a company in Barcelona.
