Item Sheet
Who Can
Sell? Selling is limited to those with a current WBC badge.
What Can
You Sell? Due to the specialized nature of WBC as a boardgamers
conference, Lots will be limited to boardgames, non-collectible card
games, and accessories pertaining to same.
How Much
Can You Sell? Sellers may submit as many items as they please.
However, due to the limited time available, sales will be restricted
to the first 550 Lots submitted and accepted. To avoid the disappointment
of bringing your items to WBC only to be turned away when the limit
is reached, we suggest you register your Lots in advance to guarantee
they will not be excluded due to the sales limit. The total number
of Lots registered and a brief description of each will be updated
weekly on this site.
Registration
Fee: There is a non-refundable registration fee of $1 per Lot which
must be paid before being accepted either for auction or registration.
To register in advance, send a check covering the Registration Fee
for all Lots you will submit plus a list of the items therein, minimum
bid accepted, and a one-word description of the condition (as defined
on the Lot Form) to BPA, 7766 Valley View Court, Hickory, NC 28602. Paypal
payments are subject to a 10% handling fee. All Advance Registrations
must be received no later than July 22, 2006, or whenever the maximimum
is reached, whichever occurs first.
Submission: A
completed Auction Item Sheet must
accompany each item or group of items to be sold. You may combine as
many items into a single Lot as you like. Any item or group of items
without an Auction Item Sheet will
not be accepted. Item descriptions must be accurate. Any
Lot submitted with a misleading description will subject that Lot, plus
all others of that particular seller, to rejection. Tape the Auction
Item Sheet to your item with Painters tape (available at auction
registration in the Lancaster Showroom) to avoid damaging it. Auction
Item Sheets may be downloaded from www.boardgamers.org/wbc/auctionitemsheet.htm and
should be completed before arrival—complete with the Seller’s
Badge Number which will be acknowledged by confirming e-mail. If you
do not know your Badge Number, contact the Convention
Director. (Click here for a list of definitions for use on
the Auction Item Sheet.) All
Lots must be submitted in person to the Auction desk in Lancaster Showroom
of the Lancaster Host between the hours of 8 and 10 p.m. on Mon., July
31, or 8 a.m. and Noon on Tues., Aug. 1, 2006. Mailed or shipped
items will NOT be accepted.
Minimum
Bids: Low value items should be sold as a group in one Lot both
to minimize your fee and to save time or committed to the Auction Store.
While you may set a minimum bid for your Lot, the staff reserves the
right to reject any Lot for any reason—including what they consider
to be unrealistic Minimums. Ask our knowledgable Auction staff for
suggestions as to what constitutes a reasonable Minimum for any Lot
they reject. Any Lot received without a Minimum Bid will be offered
at $1.00 Minimum Bid.
Payout:
Sellers are responsible for collecting their proceeds and unsold items
promptly. Sellers will receive 85% of the selling price, rounding the
amount to the nearest quarter, upon providing a current WBC badge matching
the Seller’s ID number. Payouts will be available from the registration
desk by noon on Thursday and will remain available during registration
hours throughout the convention. Amounts unclaimed by 2 PM Sunday are
forfeit to the BPA.
Liability: BPA
will exercise reasonable care in safeguarding your items, but the Association
assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged goods. Unsold Lots
should be claimed from the Auction registration crew in Lancaster Showroom
by showing your WBC badge with a matching Seller ID number no later than
5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Lots left beyond that time will be secured to the
best of our ability and claimed only at the convenience of the convention
staff from New Holland. Items left unclaimed by 2 p.m. on Sunday become
the sole property of BPA.
