As a reminder, the significant USNSC prize packages are possible through the generosity of our sponsors. It is in-appropriate for prize winners to put winning merchandise for sale on E-bay. This in fact places our prizing matrix at risk. Please respect the interests of our sponsors and do not sell awards/gifts/prizes on E-bay.
