We will start collecting sales tax at the county rates at both Origins (Columbus – Franklin County) and Gen Con (Indianapolis – Marion County) at our events in 2026 and moving forward as required by state laws.
Items purchased from the consignment store will be charged sales tax.
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!
We have answers.
Please join our Discord server where you will get the quickest response to any questions from our team of experienced volunteers and experts.
We do not give advice on pricing – that is all up to you. Almost 30 years of pricing history is available for you to review in our past events page.
There is a known bug for new users – the website is not re-directing some to confirm their profiles.
(UPDATE – this was corrected on the evening of 5/19)
Our team is currently working on getting this fixed.
We apologize for the inconvenience and further delay that some of you may be experiencing.
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.
Now get back to it – those games will not enter themselves!
Apologies for the delay!
Be sure to check our Tutorials if you have any questions about creating your account, confirming your existing account, or adding items to sell.
Please use our Discord server to get the most immediate feedback to any questions.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Indianapolis!
When you have created/confirmed an account with our updated site, the Overview page will have a toggle between our two current shows – Origins and Gen Con.
Please ensure that you have selected the correct event for your items – we will not be able to accept any items onsite unless they are registered with that event. On the the profile page you are also agreeing to the conditions listed for each show (Origins shown below for example).
Some differences between the two events to keep in mind:
Hello everyone.
We are working behind the scenes and hoping to make announcements soon about registration dates for both Origins and Gen Con.
We will post on Facebook and in the Discord channel when we are able to open things up.
Be sure to get your badges for Origins and Gen Con!
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
As we were doing seller payouts, two people approached me and dropped off this note of appreciation.
