Download Dealers' Room Application

The Dealers' Room for this year is located in part of the Grand Ballroom on the main level of the hotel. There you will find about forty eager sellers willing and able to trade you treasures for your money. Remember that the holiday season will be just down the road (and creeping rapidly up on us), and that it is never too early to begin shopping for fannish family, fannish friends, and (even) fannish you!

Smoking is not permitted in the Dealers' Room. Eating and drinking in the room are also not permitted in the room (except for Dealers while they are behind their own tables). Browsing, shopping, perusing, and free spending are permitted and also encouraged!

When

Friday, November 8 through Sunday, November 10, 2013

Where

The Westin Yorktown Lombard Center, 70 Yorktown Center, Lombard, Illinois 60148. (The same location as the last five years.)

Space

This year's Dealers' Room will again be in Sections A—E of the Grand Ballroom on the main level of the hotel. The room is about 9400 square feet with a high ceiling. At this point in time, it is not known exactly how many tables there will be in the Dealers' Room. The tables will be 72" x 30" with two chairs and one covering each.

Electricity is available if needed. As of this writing thre is no charge for standard electrical hookups. Please note under Special Needs on the reply form (please do not assume that I know what you need). Bring heavy-duty extension cords, power strips and duct tape since your electrical access may be some distance away behind your table. Although dealers are responsible for the security of their own merchandise, we are planning to have sleep over guards.

Hours

Definite room hours have yet to be established. Set-up will begin at approximately noon on Friday. A full set of Dealers' Room hours will be sent along with dealer confirmations.

Cost

• The first table costs $105 and includes one convention membership.
• The second table costs $70 and does not include a membership.
• A third table, if available, will cost $100; the committee will review written requests for a third table. If you wish to apply for a third table, send a seperate check for $100 for the third table and a check for $175 for the first two tables along with your written request; we will return the check for the third table if necessary. Any dealer who sends only one check for three tables will have the check immediately returned to him without placing him on the list for tables.

Rules

Please remember that all dealers and helpers must have their own memberships. Additional memberships are available from Convention Registration.

All checks received by July 1, 2013 will comprise the initial pool of table requests. From this initial pool, the Chairman will assign a certain number of tables. The remaining tables will be assigned through a lottery method yet to be determined. All checks received after July 1, 2013 will be held in order of arrival date. If tables later become available, they will be released to the waiting list in priority order.

Special Notes

1. There will be no dealing from any of the hotel guest rooms. The hotel has also established this policy and will be enforcing it.
2. All audio material must be kept muted or listened to with headphones.
3. No incense or open flames.
4. Dealers are responsible for charging and submitting Illinois Sales Tax.

If you do not receive a "Dealer Confirmation & Instruction" form from me then you do not have tables.

Please make checks payable to Windycon.

Please mail all checks directly to me at the address below. Do not send them to the Windycon P.O. Box. Mail them regular first class mail—items send registered or certified will not be picked up and the Post Office will return them to you.
