Looks like someone over at Etsy.com is selling some Portal Hazard Sign and Achievement buttons:

Get them now before Valve shuts them down!

You can go on zazzle.com and make your own buttons, or shirts, or what ever you want with Portal, even custom made postage stamps. They have a licensing agreement with Valve apparently.

I think the guy is replenishing his stock, I think he makes them himself. I owe Hober $20 so I'll be buying him some!

Yeah but can you make 30 different ones for only $20?

Not sure, I never made any buttons. Custom made a shirt for $15.

Lolwut? The last time I used Zazzle for custom shirts (The F7 staff shirts), it was like $23 per shirt, after a bulk discount.

Ironically, it's for buying that shirt that msleeper owes me the sweet green.

I think that's the real value here. The original textures are not super-high res. Not nearly enough for print-quality buttons.

Edit: It's now 8:20AM EST and in the 10 mins since I wrote this post another bunch of the Portal buttons went up for sale. Hint, hint.

Price depends on the quality of the shirt. I opted for the low end.

These have been available on eBay for about 4 months now.
