Well, the London Apple Store is not been open for much longer than two days and the goody bags are already appearing on eBay. There were 300 bags for sale for £250 at the grand opening, but the contents are valued at over £700.
Here's one of the auctions on eBay.

From this we can see that the goodies inside were:

AIRPORT EXPRESS
iLIFE 04 DVD
JBL PORTABLE MUSIC BOX
PRO MOUSE
PRO KEYBOARD
KEYNOTE
GARAGEBAND JAM PACK 1
LONDON INTERACTIVE DVD
WORLD BOOK
The ultra special gifts of infinite value:-
THE BAG (ONE OF 300) WITH ITS ORGINAL DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?/APPLE REGENT STREET TAG
THE TSHIRT (ONE OF 1,300) A BLACK TSHIRT WITH THE APPLE LOGO AND LONDON ON THE FRONT with DESIGNED BY APPLE IN CALIFORNIA ON THE BACK
THE APPLE GIFT CARD
A ONE OFF 10% CARD ON ANY PURCHASE IN THE STORE!

It will be interesting to see if this item is worth more that the sum of it's contents.

At 1am last night a group of Mac fans started the queue for the opening of the new Apple Store on Regent Street. Unlucky for them it was the coldest night of this winter so far. See Macworld for more details.
