GothCon Auction XLVIII

The traditional GothCon auction will of course return at GothCon XLVIII!
It's time again for all of us to both expand and clear out our game collections while raising money for the Children's Cancer Foundation!

How does it happen then?
Just like in previous years, we will have two submission sessions, one on Friday and one on Saturday, where visitors to the convention can drop by and hand in things they want to sell at the auction. Either you can choose to sell things at the auction and get money afterwards or you can choose to donate the entire amount to charity. This year we will also have a donation table next to the submissions, where you can easily leave things you want to donate to charity. Then we take care of the entire administration, sell the gadget in question and make sure that the money goes to charity.

Display of everything to be sold during the auction takes place Saturday 12:00 - 13:00.
The auction itself will begin on Saturday at 3:00 PM and, as in previous years, will be run in two halves, one for each bidding group, with a shorter break of about 10-15 minutes in between.

Please note that the number of entries submitted is limited to 16 per person, as we want as many people as possible to have the chance to submit items. Please think carefully about what you submit and how you package it. Feel free to bundle books and games together, which can also make them easier to sell. We will put removable stickers on all entries, so fragile games, books and magazines may need to be wrapped in completely transparent plastic or put in plastic bags. Remember that you should be able to easily see what is being sold, so no taped cardboard boxes, black garbage bags or overly creative wrapping.
There will be some access to string and tape at the time of submission, but please prepare beforehand and it will go faster.

Please note that this is an auction for board games, figure games, card games and role-playing games, as well as items related to the hobby. We reserve the right not to accept calls that do not fit this theme. If we receive too many calls for a product, we may decline to accept any more of it. Email us if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns about this or the auction in general!

The fee for submitting a call is SEK 10/call and it is charged regardless of whether the item is sold or not. The auction fee goes directly to charitable purposes. At the auction, the minimum asking price is SEK 20, and the minimum bid increase is an even SEK 10.
In order to submit calls and participate in the auction, you must have paid admission to the convention.
It is possible to set a minimum reserve price. However, avoid setting high reserve prices, as this often results in auctions not selling. We prefer that no reserve price is set and reserve the right to refuse submission if we believe a reserve price is unreasonable.

Payments
Like last year, we primarily take payment via Swish during the auction. It is possible to pay in cash provided you have even money as we do not have an actual exchange office. Please choose Swish as much as possible.

Payments for sold calls
Payments to sellers after the auction will be made to the bank account. This requires that you, as a seller, provide information with bank account + clearing number to us during the submission. For donated items where the entire amount is donated to charity, no bank details are needed. Payments will not take place on site but will be made by the association's treasurer within 2-3 weeks after the end of the convention.

Submission:
Friday 20:00 - 21:30 or until we have received approx. 200 calls.
Saturday 09:00 - 10:30 or until we have received approx. 200 calls.
Viewing: Saturday 12:00 - 13:00
Auction: Saturday 15:00 - about 19-ish (until we are done)
Handover of unsold items: Saturday 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM.
Location: The auction is held as usual in Norra Aulan. This applies to submission, viewing and the auction itself. Delivery of unsold objects takes place by the GC auction group in connection with the Organizer's reception.
