[PRIME] It's Official... No PAX for me. A request to the community.

Hey all,
I was really looking forward to attending PAX for the first time this year; I ordered my 3-day badge well ahead of time and had flight schedules all set up. I'm an undergraduate student studying physics at a university in Texas and was informed recently of events this weekend that, due to my commitments to research projects, I absolutely cannot miss. I've been weighing my options and have decided that PAX, however wonderfully enthralling, isn't worth taking a major hit in my departmental standing.
I'm not out much in this situation. My flights were stand-by (my dad works for a major airline), so I wasn't paying for them. I gave away my pass to a family member who really wanted to attend (sorry... I know there are people who are hurting for a badge, but I made the decision before I saw the high demand here).
But I do have a request. I'm not in any position to ask the individual I gave my badge to for this kind of favor, but I'm a swag/merch junkie. Especially for Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and BioShock 2... I've been following the first two since their announcement.
Essentially what I'm asking is if someone - who doesn't much care for swag - would be so kind as to nab as much of it as possible for me. I can definitely make it worth the effort (via PayPal or something similar).
There is always eBay, but considering that I wanted to be officially 'inducted' into the PAX community this year, I thought I'd try here first.
No amount of merch is going to make me want to drill my eyes out this weekend for missing this gig, but it might make me feel a bit less lousy.
