Has there been any discussion for auctioning off VIG or two for charity? Thanks.
Nope, not that I've heard.
Is this just an idea you had that you wondered if Gen-Con had considered, or was there some coy comment from an official source somewhere?
I wish I was an official source. Since the Gencon auction does a charity session each year, I wasn't sure if they had ever auctioned off a VIG.
As far as I know this year was the first year Gen-Con proper formally got involved with the Auction for something to be bid on for charity, and it was just to request we allow in a few carpet squares despite them being banned otherwise. There is not much direct connection between the Auction and Gen-Con other than the negotiations as to where to put us and how much space we get, haha.
Just from an outside perspective it seems GenCon begrudgingly tolerates the auction more than support it or even uses it as a marketing opportunity to support charity involvement.
I was supper worried this year when the location change was announced, but looking at the sales numbers this year was thankfully fantastic!
Thanks for the review.
Thank you so much for the help.
Auctioning VIGs for charity is an excellent idea that could benefit both the community and a worthy cause. While there hasn't been much discussion on this yet, it is worth proposing to organizers or relevant forums. Such an initiative could inspire goodwill and engagement while raising funds for important charitable endeavors.
VIG access sounds amazing for maximizing the con experience. Did you find it worth the investment this year? I’d love to hear how it enhanced your time—especially the exclusive events and early access perks. I needed help with a last-minute research paper, and https://lastminutewriting.com/ came to my rescue. Despite the tight deadline, they delivered a paper that was well-researched and properly cited. The arguments were logical, and the formatting was perfect. I was particularly impressed by how smooth the entire process was, from placing the order to receiving the final document. I will definitely use their services again.
