AUCTION TIMES
The silent auction will begin Friday 6:00 pm and end Saturday Night at midnight. Lots that have not sold must be picked up by 5pm Sunday.

HOW DOES THE AUCTION WORK?
The Nuke-Con auction has both a silent auction and a live auction. You may examine the lots beginning Friday evening, but the lots will be set out as they are registered, so return often to see what may be new.

• During the silent auction period, you may bid at your convenience at any time before midnight Saturday. All auction lots will have a starting bid decided upon by the seller and bids may only increase by even dollar amounts. To place a bid, you simply write your badge number, name, and bid amount on the bid sheet corresponding to the lot you’re interested in. Be sure to ask any questions about the lots you are interested in before you bid. You are responsible for your bid and they may not be retracted. Check on the auction items you’re interested in throughout the convention because you may be outbid more than once. Some items may have a buyout bid. To meet the buyout bid, take the lot to the auction table and immediately pay the buyout price. Any items with 3 or more bids will go to the live auction, which begins at noon on Sunday.


• The silent auction will end promptly at midnight Saturday night when all bid sheets will be collected.


• Items that you have purchased will be available for pickup at about 3pm Sunday (depending on how long the live auction lasts).

AFTER THE AUCTION

• Check to see if your lot is at the auction table. If it is, it hasn’t been sold.


• Go to the auction table and give them your badge number and name.


• Pay your auction fee to Nuke-Con. Options for paying for your purchases include Cash, Con Cash, check, credit card through Paypal or direct Paypal payment.


• Pick up your lots that have not sold.

AUCTION FEES

• All items submitted for personal sale are assessed a $1 per lot charge. No full tables will be sold.


• A 10% charge will be assessed on all sold items. This amount will be deducted from the sale proceeds.


• All checks will be sent out the Monday or Tuesday following the convention. No checks will be handed out at the end of the event.
