Items purchased from the consignment store will be charged sales tax.

Buyer’s Premium

All transactions are subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 3%; this is waived if the customer is using cash.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Columbus and Indianapolis!

Store Item Descriptions

Hello all – happy to see many sellers are registering and entering their items for the Gen Con auction and consignment store.

One thing to note for everyone – unless your packaging is covering up the box description, text describing the game on your item can really be focused on anything that the buyer may need to know about your copy for store items.

  • Additional pieces or missing pieces
  • Included expansions
  • Copy of English rules included if a foreign language version

Now get back to it – those games will not enter themselves!
