Gen Con Indy 2006 Auction Recap

Another GenCon has come and gone and we've had a banner year. We had a record number of items entered into the auction, and a record number of items pre-registered for the convention.

This page allows you to explore the items we sold, when we sold them, and for how much.
The highest price item in the auction was an original "AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide" pre-publication manuscript that had been hand-edited by Gary Gygax. We also had a couple of brown-box D&D sets, one that sold for $1950, the other sold for a "mere" $1150

NOTE: The sold per hour is actually when we entered the sale into the computer. We were still entering new seller items in them moring when the auction store opened - so the big batch at 2:00pm is really from when the store opened at 10:00am.
