So, where can I go to get a primer on the GenCon auction? I haven't been in aeons, so I need the basics: info on cash vs. credit card, bidding process, the whole nine yards.

I have been reading the Gen Con forums for info and this is what I came up with:

Hope it helps.

Yah, this year I'm a 'guest auctioneer' but will be doing the ultracollectibles & rares each night.

I just opened a third business location (in a shopping mall, with mall hours, yawn) and will be arriving later than usual, prolly Thursday afternoon. But I've been at every GenCon since 1979 (plus both GenCon Easts, some GenCon Souths, and 2 GenCon SoCals), and not about to miss one now...

Looking forward to meeting Al. :twisted:

I can run it if you want to bail Al.....always got something at hand. We'll pick a night/day when things are going a little slow....so we can have some time. I suspect once everyone hears you are running a game we'll have an army of players....! NO pressure or anything.....! :twisted:

BTW I'll bring plenty of dice and crappy old style minis so no need for anyone to bring their own if they don't want (We'll be driving and have more room).

I read it, and although I have no issues with you or anybody else in particular, I still think some people here blatantly defend Cougie. 'Nuff said on that point - like you said, it's your decision to deal with whom you wish.

Back at ya.

Pre-Gencon jitters.....everyone take a deep breath and stare at the cover of the 1st edition PHB fora minute or two....very soothing.

I was referring to the cougarrinard thread...I thought that's what Al was mentioning in his reference to me "reading what he wrote"....I was just playing along.

Just look for the crowd of middle-aged guys pestering Frank a lot.
