Gen Con 2016

Here’s some quick statistics :

Number of Items in the Auction 10,269
Number of Items Sold 8,258

This was the first year we did away with on-site registrations. Overall the result and reception was positive. Unfortunately there were a few attendees who didn’t get notified and were disappointed that they couldn’t register their games on-site as they had done in the past. For those curious as to why we did away with the on-site registration, here are some of the advantages we realized:

1) Faster setup for us on Wednesday (no need to setup 4+ extra computers and printer)

2) Faster drop-off for sellers (since we had everything setup and ready to roll, and we didn’t have to spare anyone to help those entering items) !

3) Less congestion in the room of people waiting with stacks of games to get to the on-site computers.

I think that all the sellers who pre-registered would agree that check-in went VERY smoothly this year.
