Please read the following rules and guidelines.
Buyers:
* The only thing you need is a convention badge, a good eye for a deal and the willingness to barter.
Sellers:
Entering dictates that you agree to these rules:
• Any person, except dealers, who has an official 2008 FanimeCon badge is eligible to obtain selling space at the swap meet.
• No retail businesses, dealers, stores (or persons representing or working for them) are allowed to participate as sellers in the swap meet.
• Please refrain from doing art commissions and the sale of personally created items at swap meet. These belong in Artists' Alley. The sale of second-hand goods of this type or previously used cosplay items is okay.
• A seller's fee of $20 will be charged for a seller's space. A half-space may be offered at half price (space pending). Please note, we can only accept cash.
• You may not bring your own table to the swap meet.
• Because the facility is a union facility, you are advised against bringing your goods in on a hand truck or handcart. Be prepared to hand carry your boxes should the situation require it.
• The age of the seller must be at least 18 years old and all sellers must sign an agreement to these rules.
• Cash payment for or bartering of items are permitted and is up to the discretion of the participants in the transaction.
• The convention is not legally responsible for the product's condition or stated condition. All transactions are between the seller and buyer.
• Sellers have the right to refuse a sale to or barter with anyone.
• All products brought into the swap meet will be inspected and all items that are in violation of these rules will not be permitted into the swap meet.
• The display of goods must be suitable for a general audience (i.e., G rated). Adult materials should be restricted to one (1) clearly marked box that requires Photo ID age verification. The sale, trade, or showing of adult materials to anyone under 18 is a crime. If you are caught selling or showing adult material to a minor, you will be evicted from the convention and turned over to the police. All products brought into the swap meet will be inspected and all items that are in violation of these rules will not be permitted into the swap meet.
• The sale or trade of unlicensed, bootleg, or counterfeit goods is not allowed (e.g. SM, Everanime, Aliors, etc), however the sale/trade of doujin goods (comics, shitajiki, cards, or stationary) will be allowed.
• Any questions regarding the implementation or interpretation of the rules above are subject to the final discretion of the Swap Meet Staff.
• Any instructions given by the swap meet staff to enforce these rules, the rules of FanimeCon, and the event facility, must be followed immediately.
• Fanimecon Swap Meet reserves the right to refuse access to anyone.
So stop on by and see if you can make the deal of a lifetime for that hard to get item or just to unload some excess goods!
