Art Show Bidding Questions

We're working hard to improve the efficiency of sales pickup -- it boils down to, there's a lot that has to be done and not a lot of people willing to help do it. We can't let people into the Art Show to check their bids or pick up their artwork until our crew has marked off the winning bids on all of the bid sheets -- last year, that was nearly 2,000 pieces. We can't individually escort everyone who just wants to see if they've won a piece, since that would take people away from the job of marking all the high bids and make the overall delay even longer.

We do try to accommodate extraordinary and immediate needs, such as family emergencies; please explain the situation to the Dorsai Irregulars guarding the Art Show entrance, who will have been given guidelines of how to assist in such circumstances.

If you have an early flight or train, please let us know on Friday or Saturday and we'll give you a pass for a priority place in the sales line. Note, however, that it's unlikely you'll have completed picking up and paying for your artwork before 3 pm, so if you must leave sooner, you should make alternative arrangements, such as having a friend pick up your artwork for you -- tell us your situation in advance at the bidder signup table, and we'll help you out. Please don't wait until Sunday!

Once everything gets settled down and sorted out after the con, we'll contact you with the details of what you bid on, the total amount including postage and sales tax, and how to pay. Please be patient; this could take several weeks.

If you're not sure whether you were the high bidder, and you've set aside money to pay for something you think you may have won, don't spend it without checking with us -- email us.
