AUCTION

NEW LOCATION!

The Auction returns for Gen Con Indy 2023, now in the 2nd floor Marriott ballrooms 5 & 6. This easy to access area is connected via tube walkway to the Indianapolis Convention Center. For those dropping off for the auction, there is a side entrance on South Missouri Street that allows for an easy and pain free drop-off process, complete with a ramp up to the building and an elevator up to the auction entrance. Please refrain from using the hotel turnaround driveway to unload, as this could cause issues for other attendees.

How It Works Buyers

REGISTRATION: When you arrive at the auction, simply pay $1 to be issued a card with your unique bidder number good for the entire convention.

BIDDING: When you see an item you want, hold your card high in the air with your number facing the stage and KEEP IT UP for as long as you are interested. If you hold your card up for longer than other bidders, you win! It’s that easy!

PAYMENT: You can pay for each item as you win or open a daily tab by paying a $50 fee. This money will be credited towards any purchases you make. If you open a tab, your winnings will be stored until the end of that day’s session. We accept cash and major credit cards. There is a 3% Buyers Premium added to each transaction, which is waived for cash transactions.

CONSIGNMENT STORE: Not in the mood for a bidding war, but still looking for a good bargain? Peruse and discover hidden gems amongst the thousands of items available at the Consignment Store, now in a bigger space with wider aisles. This means more items, more room for browsing, and shorter wait times to get in. Anyone with a valid Gen Con badge can enter and purchase items without needing to register with the auction. New items are added throughout the show with some prices changing daily.
