Room Sales is not an official Convention activity, but it is a tradition that many Conventioneers enjoy. Dealers, artists, and sellers of all sorts open their rooms for you to visit, check out their items for sale, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from hunting for doll treasures from floor to floor. We will attempt to group the majority of people selling from their rooms on several floors as a
convenience for shoppers as well as other guests of the Hotel. Check the bulletin boards on floors to see who is selling where.
SIGN-UP FOR ROOM SALES
Room sales selection will be made during the online Room Sales process on January 26, 2025. Once completed this is your confirmation that you will be room selling. The last day to sign-up for Room Sales is June 14, 2025. If you need to make changes to participate, or decide not to participate later, please email our PR Chair Matthew Sutton prior to June 14, 2025, at shooby30@hotmail.com.
ROOM SALE REQUIREMENTS
We are establishing the following 2025 Convention requirements for Room Sales participants in accordance with the Hotel, so please read carefully if you are planning to sell items from your room:
DISPLAY YOUR ROOM SALES DOOR TAG
Each registered Conventioneer confirming they will be participating in Room Sales will receive one Room Sales Door Tag during Registration. This tag is displayed on your private room door handle, signaling that you are open for business! Tags will display your name and room number and are non-
transferable. Tag distribution will begin on-site starting Saturday, June 21, 2025, in case you wish to start selling earlier than the first Registration on Monday evening. You do not need to be previously pre-checked in at Registration to pick up your tag, but you must be checked into the Hotel and provide your room number, and also be confirmed as participating in Room Sales as outlined
above. If you have not confirmed, you may still sign up and receive a tag at Registration. Please refer to the early Room Sales Door Tag on-site location/pickup times and Registration times on the Schedule.
ABIDE BY POSTED ROOM SALE HOURS
Room shopping will be open before the Convention beginning Saturday, June 21, 2025, and ending early Thursday morning, June 26, 2025, at 2:00am EDT.
ONLY POST FLYERS /ADS IN DESIGNATED AREAS
We will have bulletin board space available for Room Sales flyers/ads on guest floors. Please do not post flyers/ads on walls or elevators. Posting anything in other Hotel locations may result in removal and/or damage charges to the individual who placed the sign. The flyers/ads placed on bulletin boards cannot exceed 5.5 x 8.5 in / 140 x 216 mm in size (half letter paper size). Please be respectful of other Room Sellers and design your ads to the correct size. When placing your ad on the bulletin board(s), do not cover another seller’s ad on the board. Any ads that exceed the dimension requirements above will be removed.
ROOM SALE SETTING UP
The Hotel will not provide any on-site tables, table linen/covers or chairs for rent or use in private rooms. PLAN AHEAD: If you require tables, table linen/covers or chairs for your Room Sales setup, you will need to bring them with you to Convention, or acquire from an outside source. Please do not contact the Hotel, as they will not be providing this type of service or rental to any guest in a private room. On-site tables, table linen/covers and chairs will only be provided in the Best Buy Salesroom. Please see the Salesroom section for more information about the Best Buy Salesroom.
ONLINE ROOM SALE PROMOTIONS
Everyone is welcome to share their Room Sales information and pictures of their items on the 2025 Convention Facebook Group starting on June 14, 2025. Room Sales posts before this date will not be approved. Room Sales posts must follow these two guidelines or they will not be approved:
-
Do not offer any item(s) for pre-sale.
-
Do not list prices for any item(s) you are posting.
Please be aware that all Room Sales (sneak peaks) posts will be checked against these criteria, as will captions on attached photos.
