Bring & Buy
Each year attendees are invited to bring wargaming related consignment items to sell. If you have a need to clear up space (even if only to fill it again with more models), we tend to have a room full of interested buyers. Our staff run the consignment operations, and we collect a portion of the profit to add to Hotlead’s annual charitable donation. Want to know how it works? Please check out the Bring & Buy page for instructions and forms.
