Our new location on the 2nd floor of the Marriott was a complete success. Attendees didn't seem to have any trouble finding us and the larger room allowed the Consignment store items to be displayed more effectively.

We are a passionate group of volunteers that run the Gen Con auction in Indianapolis. Over the years we have found new homes for thousands of old games where they will be played and loved.
To sell items, you must pre-register them, selecting a price for each day if it is going to the consignment store, or picking a reserve price for items to be live auctioned. Print the tags and attach them securely to the items.
Every year Gen Con selects a sponsored charity. We collect items from dealers and attendees to sell during a special segment of the auction - where 100% of the proceeds are given to the designated charity.
We removed the approval process for this year to see how things would go. We managed to get through all the items and most of the Consignment store items were also sold.
Reminder: You will need your badge before you come to the auction!
