HexaCon will once again be holding a Used Game Auction this year. This is **not** a charity auction. This is an opportunity for you to sell your old and unwanted games and related items to other members who might want them. You get 90% of the sale price, HexaCon takes a 10% commission.
The auction will begin at noon on Sunday and continue until all lots have been offered for sale.

====Rules For Sellers====
- Items must be in some reasonable way related to gaming. Games, miniatures, your old PS1, Battletech novels...all these are fine.
- Items must be legitimate. No bootlegs, no Xeroxes.
- Items with adult content may be in the auction, but **must** be identified as such when submitted. The convention reserves the right to cover, obscure, or not display such items.
- Items may be submitted at the Auction table on Friday between 3pm and 9pm, and on Saturday between 12 noon and 6pm. **Late submissions will not be accepted.**
- Items should be grouped together into lots as appropriate. Multiple-item lots must be physically secured together. Twine is good for this.
- The auction will be limited to no more than 200 lots.
- No seller may submit more than ten lots on Friday.
- Sellers must be members of the convention. The convention reserves the right to refuse auction participation to anyone.
- Sellers must complete a Seller Control Sheet, which will include contact information.
- Sellers must also complete Lot Sheets for each of their lots.
- Sellers may choose to set a minimum bid on their lots. If no minimum bid is specified, bidding will open at $1.
- Sellers may withdraw items from the auction up until the item goes up for bid. Once bidding has opened, the item may not be withdrawn.
- Unsold items may be picked up after all auction lots have been processed.
- Payment to sellers will be made by check only, which will be mailed out within 60 days of the close of the convention.
- Decisions on relatedness, legitimacy, appropriateness, lot grouping, and all other matters of rules interpretation will be made by the Auction Coordinator or his Staff. Such decisions are final.

====Rules For Buyers====
- You must obtain a bidder number in order to bid on any item. Bidder numbers may be obtained at the control desk immediately before and during the auction.
- You must be a member of the convention to obtain a bidder number. The convention reserves the right to refuse auction participation to anyone.
- All items are sold as-is. The convention accepts no responsibility for the condition or authenticity of items, or for the item descriptions or any claims made by the seller.
- Sales of items designated as containing adult content will be limited to buyers 18 and older. Bring ID.
- Bidding in an auction is an offer to enter into a binding contract. Do not bid if you do not intend to purchase the item.
- Decisions of the Auctioneer pertaining to the sale of an item are final. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that his or her intentions are known to the Auctioneer.
- Buyers may check out (i.e. pay for and pick up their purchases) at any time during the auction. Buyers may pay with cash or check (with proper ID). No third-party or post-dated checks will be accepted. There will be a $25 fee added to any returned check. This is in addition to bank fees.
- It is not known at this point if it will be practical for the auction to accept credit cards. We're certainly going to try to do so.
- Whether or not there are breaks during the auction will depend on the number of lots and the pace of the auction. The Auction Coordinator will make this decision.
- The convention will neither hold nor ship purchased items. Buyers who do not check out during the auction must do so at the end of it. Items not paid for and picked up at that time become the property of the convention.

**The Auction Coordinator reserves the right to add to or modify these rules at any time.**
