If you can’t bear to part with your swag, get some more at the Nuke-Con Auction. Find that cool game or mini you’ve been looking for at a great price.

WHAT KIND OF ITEMS CAN YOU PLACE IN THE AUCTION?
•Board Games like: Civilization, Diplomacy, Settlers of Cataan
•Miniatures like: 40k minis, D&D minis, historical minis
•RPGs and supplements like: D&D, various Handbooks, Call of Cthulhu
•Card Games like: Mag Blast, Munchkin, Res Publica, large lots of CCG cards

WHAT KINDS OF ITEMS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE AUCTION?
•Weapons of any kind, game-related, blunt, or not!
•Console or PC games
Remember, Nuke-Con is a Family Con!

HOW DOES THE AUCTION WORK
The Nuke-Con auction is a silent auction. That means you may bid at your convenience at any time before the end of the auction. Lots will be set out as they are registered so you can peruse the lots. Lots may be placed in the auction up until 6:00 pm Saturday. 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. All auction lots will have a starting bid decided upon by the seller and bids may only increase by even dollar amounts. Be sure to 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. In the case of a buyout bid the buyer would bring the lot to the auction table and immediately pay the buyout price.

The auction will end promptly at Midnight Saturday night and all bid sheets will be collected. Any items with 3 or more bids will go to the “Live Auction” portion beginning Noon on Sunday. Items will be available for pickup and payment at about 3 on Sunday (depending on how long the auction lasts)

METHODS OF PAYMENT

AUCTION FEES
As you know, putting on a game convention isn’t free. This auction will hopefully provide you with a way to make a little cash and help support Nuke-Con. Sellers will be charged a dollar per lot to have their items in the auction. Note that all lot fees will be paid before registering your lots. A portion of the selling price, to be paid by the seller will go to Nuke-Con. All fees must be paid before the seller can collect his auction money for sold lots. The fee paid to Nuke Con will be 10% of the final selling price.

DONATING YOUR LOTS
If you wish to donate a lot to auction you may donate it to the Nuke-Con charity or Nuke-Con itself. All you have to do is bring your lot to the auction and we’ll take care of the rest. There is no entry fee for lots donated to Nuke-Con or to the Nuke-Con charity.

AUCTION TIMES
The auction will begin Friday 6:00 pm and end Saturday Night at Midnight. All lots must be picked up by 5pm Sunday.

Tournament Specifics:
-Armies may be incomplete in construct and paint but models should be representative.

Example: I may have 8 Dire Avengers without arms or heads but the legs and body are on a base so it at least looks like a Dire Avenger… sort of.

-This is being done to attract newer players and make a tournament that encourages people to actually compete and complete there army.

-Mild proxying is acceptable but please be reasonable. Bases should be size appropriate to the model it would otherwise be representing.

Note: Incomplete builds and paintings will however lower your chance of scoring well in the Painting/Modeling aspect of the Tournament and proxies will disqualify you entirely from the Painting/modeling.

Special Rules in use

• Tree models on tree felt represent the height of the trees, so units on hills and in upper floors of buildings “may” be able to see over the stand of trees (WYSIWYG).

• Normal hedges and walls do NOT block LOS, but provide concealment to all teams seen through them. Walls and hedges taller than the model DO block LOS. (this normally applies only to tall walls or bocage).

• Hedges do not block LOS (no matter the height of the hedge), but do provide concealment to any unit seen through them.
