How it will work
We have booked a syndicate room especially to host the
Bring & Buy sale. If memory serves, last year this was
near the lifts on the same floor where the convention is held.
People who want to sell their games should bring them along
to the Bring & Buy registration desk, which will be manned
by John Harrington and Pete Card.
Details of each game (seller, name of game, condition of
game, asking price) will be transferred on to a database (on a
lap-top, or possibly a piece of paper).
Each game will be assigned a game ID and this, along with
the asking price, will be noted on a special MidCon Post-It
note which will be attached to the game. The game will then go
on display, ready for sale.
When the stall opens, punters will be allowed to examine
the games and possibly fondle components in a slightly
disturbing fetishistic manner. Anyone wanting to buy a game
should grab it, and bring it and the requisite amount of cash
to the Bring & Buy registration desk
After the sale period closes, sellers may come along and
collect the proceeds from their sales and any unsold games
(assuming they do not want them to be carried forward to the
next sale period - if there is one). Please be prompt
when collecting your stuff. We'll be pretty strict on this as
we don't want to be interrupted all night long by sellers
asking for their money when said sellers could not get their
act together enough to collect the money at the correct time.
As indicated above, there will be an opportunity for
sellers to amend asking prices, but everything has to go
through the Bring & Buy registration desk - no bringing
along a copy of SPI's Drang Nach Oesten with the price
of £80 crossed out and a new price of £1.50 written
underneath in crayon!
Will there be a charge?
No
