Right now there is not going to be a Consignment Sales at the 2006 convention. No space at the inn, as it were.
Some of us are lobbying, "You CAN'T NOT have Consignment Sales." There is a small chance that lobbying will change it so we have consignment sales.
Many grottoes and other organizations count on CS. Check out the discussion:

Tell your local cavers and find out if this is a concern for them!
I'm absolutely sure that the convention workers are working their little butts off to make this convention happen as best they can. But no Consignment Sales, no spa, and no alchohol in the campground. What's convention coming to.
