I was, once upon a not so long ago, an in-home technician for a retail store. The pay was okay, but the real benefit came from the lovely retail incentive programs in which I waseligible to participate. Most every manufacturer offered some sort of program... Intel, HP, AMD, and Sony were a few of the programs. In one year, I won around $10,000 in prizes, including a home theater system and a stock HP media center computer with LCD.
Now, I'm in "real" IT and I have been for a couple of years. Are there similar "learn about our product and get free stuff" programs out there for us, or is that sort of thing limited to the retail realm?
How's that for off-topic? ;-)

if you are in pre-sales or sales then the goods keep on coming (hardware, free seminar passes,...)

I'm more in the onsite customer install, repair, and recommendation phase of the process. I could probably swing some seminar passes, though. Hardware is my first love in free stuff, though.

I've been given software, an iPaq, and ten thousand T-shirts by Microsoft for attending their events.
