We've had four successful CoG No-Ship Math Trades, and we'll have another one in 2012.
A Math Trade is a trade between a whole bunch of people at once, using an algorithm to decide who should send their game to whom. Because of the algorithm used, you will get a game you prefer over what you started with or, at worst, keep your original game. A no-ship math trade is simply a math trade between individuals who are able to deliver their games to each other in person, in this case, at Congress of Gamers. For additional details about Math Trades, go to the Wiki page.
List items on Boardgamegeek at http://boardgamegeek.com/article/7499877#7499877. All games that successfully trade will be exchanged at the convention. Eric Engelmann is coordinating the trade. Contact him with questions at eric@congressofgamers.org. Deadlines will be posted closer to the convention.
Anyone who gets involved in the math trade will be resposible for delivering and picking up the games they are trading to the convention. You will be able to drop off your math trade games as you register before 3:00 pm Saturday. Punctuality will be appreciated! We'll sort the games by recipient and have them available for pick-up in the kitchen at 3 pm.
The Bring-and-Buy is similar to a flea market. It allows gamers to sell and buy their used games and gaming-related products but doesn't require them to staff a booth because the convention takes care of sales. Buyers get the opportunity to inspect items before they buy and know prices up-front. There’s no sniping at the last minute and no shipping costs to pay. There are low fees for Sellers and no upper limit on prices. (You can even sell your collector’s items here.) Select different prices during the day on Saturday to help move items before you leave. Pick up your proceeds or unsold games during the day. Placement fee is only 25 cents. Sales fee is 10% of the selling price, with a minimum fee of 25 cents and a maximum of $8.
Hours: TBD
Location: TBD
Download item sheets (Excel or PDF) and bring them with you to save time!
Souvenir shirts are available for pre-order. Extra shirts will be available at the convention, as supplies permit. For additional information, see our CoG Shirts page.
Refreshments will be on sale in the Kitchen from 10-10. Coffee, sodas, water, juice, crackers, chips, pretzels, candy, and cookies will be available. Pizza will be available around noon and dinnertime.
