I would like to buy a beer for whoever put the expected auction times in the event listing this year. 

It's been a minute (read: 14 years) since I last attended Gen Con auction, so it was incredibly helpful to see it broken into chunks so that I know EXACTLY when I need to attend if I'm looking for X game or supplement

I think our goal will be to try to have that schedule kept to the best of our ability - again - check onsite or somewhere online where I will post the daily schedule to ensure you do not miss your expected categories.

Me: I never make it to the auction. I never know when stuff I want is being sold.

GenCon: Here's our auction schedule for this year.

Me: Dang it! Let me see that schedule...

Yesssssss

I had not thought of that entirely reasonable hindrance to attending, probably because anyone I know who has any interest knows just to ask me and I will issue a report on when things that person is interested in are going up.  This new system is TAKING MY JOB

I will be replacing Katie this year as the point of contact for most things regarding the auction in 2023 and any questions regarding volunteers.
With that said, we have nothing to share currently on anything regarding the auction this year other than the following:
1. Yes - the same pre-approval process will be used again this year
2. Drop Off hours and other policies from previous years will still be in place at this time.
3. Keep an eye on the https://livegameauctions.com/ website for any further updates

We could use more help on Saturday evening than on Wednesday to be honest if you were only thinking of volunteering a few hours. If you are around on Wednesday, just ask for me and we can definitely find something for you to do.

If you are referring to where you can register your items that you want to sell?

thanks. I’ll look for you. Once gencon starts it gets hard to volunteer because of my kids. Fewer people before the con means I am more comfortable being able to volunteer and not worry something will happen. Thanks.

I really wish they would expand the space for the auction store and auction. It's such a giant mess and almost impossible to browse without waiting hours and then getting crammed in. It's also run in an extremely disorganized way, with incredibly short hours for dropping off items on Wed and picking them up on Sunday. It would be great to see a real company come in and do this properly with proper staff, good software, and ample space.
Last year I had to wait 40 minutes to get a sign to bid, but then there was no place to sit down or stand. Then I went to the auction store line, waiting 2 hours and then they cut off the line, even while the auctions were going. 
Agreed 100% on the space.  Every single time I go into the auction/store space, the store space is packed full and difficult to trasnverse, while there is plenty of room in the auction area.  Literally two rows of auction chairs could be removed for store expansion and would make all the difference.  HOWEVER---there is a new location!!!  In the Marriott.  Hopefully this will make for more room and doesn't hurt the access of shoppers due to being out of the main convention hallway.

I'm unclear on the max store amount.  Says $75; does this mean $75 per item, or a total of items equal to $75?!  If it's a total of $75 that's awfully low, especially if someone has just a couple of board games to sell!  I do think historically unsold items should not be allowed into the auction; overpriced (overmarket/availability price) should not be allowed.  Also shouldn't allow non-gaming stuff, like random books and DVDs to be honest.  Finally, limiting a sale to 2 of the same items.  I've seen guys bring in boxes of the same board game, upwards of like 20 copies.

I also hope the checkin-process for auction card and selling items, picking them up is quickened.  It's been taking waaaay to long.  Not to mention the wait of everyone to get into the store and look around.  Hopefully this will be alleviated with new location.

1. For the $75 limit, that is for each individual item placed in the store. You could have 100 $75 priced items placed in the store if you like.
2. The space will be greatly expanded and it is our hope the line for the store can be managed much better as well as access to bidder cards.
3. The aisles in the store will be much wider and the space in the store will be greatly expanded in the new location.

OK - I just sent you a message via the Gen Con system - send me an email at that address. I am assuming you checked your spam and all that. I am just a middle man with the software/computer guy so please be patient but we will get you sorted.
