This is the weekend for the big local convention; Genghis Con XXXVI. Friday night is auction night and my time to get up in front of a crowd and make them buy used games.
I really enjoy doing this and I have been doing it for 30 years now. Here are a couple of pictures from the early stages of games being brought in to sell at the auction. We started selling at 6pm and finished about 12:30am and wrapped up the paperwork about 1:30am. Its a long night and I trade of duties with 2 other auctioneers although I lost one of them part way through the evening, I may have sold him. So I did the bulk of the selling. The high point, this year was selling an unpunched copy of SPI's Campaign for North Africa for $250. That's always fun!

Very cool, be nice to do that over here where I live....most events just do a barter town/trade day....
ReplyDeleteI like the flea market tables that some of the conventions over here run too. But nothing really beats a good auction.
