Game Garage Sale


The KantCon Garage Sale allows any KantCon attendee to buy or sell new or used board games and related items at the convention.


Schedule

Thursday: 1 PM - 10:45 PM

Friday & Saturday: 8 AM - 10:45 PM

Sunday: 8 AM - 2:45 PM


Purchases

  1. Browse the garage sale area.

  2. Take your item(s) to the cashier.

  3. Pay with cash, PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or credit card. Items are priced as marked in whole dollar amounts.

  4. Note: All items are sold in as-is condition. It is the buyer's responsibility to check out the item's contents prior to purchasing. KantCon accepts no responsibility for any missing pieces, damage, or other item deficiencies. All sales are final and cannot be refunded.


Selling

  1. Fill out the garage sale form online before or during the convention or print and fill out a paper copy of the form. We will have printed forms available on-site as well but all items will be transcribed into our system for tracking.
    • Note: you must have a current year KantCon badge to sell item(s). You can enter items into the garage sale with a one day badge and cash out and pick up any unsold item(s) on another day.
    • Each attendee is limited to 300 items/lots.
    • Board games and related accessories are accepted. While board game related accessories are accepted, this is not an avenue for 3D-printed or homemade items to be sold unless combined with a board game.
    • Note: KantCon reserves the right to refuse items that do not meet the above criteria or in any way violate KantCon policies.
    • Items may be grouped as a "lot" with a single price, such as a game with expansions, promos, extra dice, game inserts, etc.

  2. Drop off your item(s) at the Garage Sale area.

  3. Create a price tag for each item/lot being sold that includes the price (in whole dollar amounts) and your badge number.
    If you filled out the form online before the first day of the convention, price tags will be printed and ready to tape to your games

  4. If there are any notes about the item (missing pieces or extra items such as promos, expansions, game insert, sleeves, etc.), please add those details to your price tag or create and add a detailed sticky note to attach to the item.

  5. All item barcodes will be scanned into our system for tracking. Item names and prices will be transcribed by our volunteers. Note: filling out the online form in advance will speed up this process. It is your responsibility as the seller to verify the accuracy of the information (especially pricing) in our system, as it will be honored as listed for sales. Before completing check-in of your items, it is important to review the information on the monitor for accuracy.

  6. Note: while we will have items in the Garage Sale area monitored during convention hours by our staff, KantCon cannot guarantee the safety of any items or their contents. Participation in this sale constitutes your acceptance of this risk and waives KantCon of liability.


15% Commission

KantCon will keep a 15% commission amount from all sales to support the convention. We will round up to the nearest dollar (in your favor) for payouts.

Example: If you sold $35 in items, KantCon will collect $5.00 (5.25 rounded down) in commission and you will receive $30.00 (29.75 rounded up), paid by PayPal or cash (when available).


Checking Out

Sellers may pick up any unsold item(s) and be paid out by PayPal or cash (when available). Unsold items must be picked up by 3 PM on Sunday. Any item(s) left beyond that point will become the property of KantCon if we cannot reasonably arrange to have the owner pick up items at KantCon.
