U-Con 2022: Auction Reminder

Posted on Posted in News

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to remind everyone that the annual U-Con Auction will be happening on the Saturday of U-Con at 1 PM ET in Auditorium 1.

I have been in charge of the U-Con Auction for the last few years now, and Joe Saul has been an excellent auctioneer for as long as I can remember. We have seen the auction grow and watched thousands of items find new homes. The problem is that it has grown a little too much. We have had several attendees say that while the auction is good, it just runs too late into the day.

We are continuing the limiting of total lots that was started in 2018. Please remember that there is a limit the number of items in the auction at 80. If the final number ends up being 87, that’s fine. However, if we are near the limit and someone brings in twenty items at 12:45, I’m going to ask that they combine them into smaller lots.

We decided on this because we wanted the Auction to remain at the same level of quality while making sure each item is still given full consideration.

If this situation concerns you, I would suggest bundling your auction items into lots now and get there early. Item submission begins at 11am in Auditorium 1.

Thank you all for your continued support. Excelsior!

  1. As a GM, it’s difficult for me to stand in line for registration. I’m wondering if we could make some other arrangement.

    • Item submission is open for two hours. There is no “line” as multiple people can fill out paperwork at once and just let me or someone helping me know.
      Both of the forms (auction item sheet and item slips) have files available on the main U-Con website to print and fill out in advance.
