Dealers’ Den
Opening Times
The Dealers' Den will be open to customers daily each afternoon from Thursday to Saturday, usually from 12:00 to 18:00. Dealers will be able to set up and tear down their points of sale outside of these times. The exact times will be announced in the conbook. Outside of the opening times, the rooms will be locked, allowing you to leave your table and merchandise in relative safety overnight if you wish. However, please understand that we cannot be held responsible for any damaged, lost or stolen goods or money, and that it is entirely up to you to take reasonable precautions yourself.
How to register as a Dealer
Before applying for dealer space, you must register for the Eurofurence convention, then head over to the Dealer Registration after the 1st of March to request table space. You are going to need your registration number, nickname and password when registering as a dealer, and a realistic estimation how much table space and chairs you are going to need.
If you have any questions regarding the Dealers' Den, please contact the
Dealers' Den Management.
What does it cost?
Dealer table space is free of charge! However, we reserve the right to limit the space available for each individual dealer, or reject applications entirely, to balance demand with available space or any other reason.
Every registered guest of the convention may apply for table space, provided the convention fee has been fully paid.
Deadline
Tables are not assigned on a first come, first served basis. All available table space will be distributed among all applications within two weeks after the dealer registration deadline. The time of your registration does neither influence the amount of table space, nor the chance of getting any table space at all, provided you apply before the deadline. The deadline for dealer registrations is the 30th of April, later applications will be put on the waiting list. All dealers will be informed via e-mail and the seating plan will be published at the Eurofurence forum.
Types of Merchandise
Preferred MerchandiseBecause we're a furry convention, your goods or services should be of interest to furry fans. We know that it's hard to draw a strict line, so we'll leave it at saying that sellers of furry merchandise will be preferred. Typical items for sale are, for example, (badge) commissions, original furry artwork and prints, CDs and DVDs with artwork, pieces of furry-themed jewelry and fursuit materials and parts.
Fan Art - that is, art based on TV series, games, or other intellectual property of a third party - can only be displayed and sold subject to some limitations. Ideally, the dealer can provide a legal agreement with the rights holder granting them the right to use the intellectual property in question. Failing this, any use of third-party intellectual property must be within the limits of Fair Use / Free Use or equivalent regulations. In any case, the dealers are responsible that the merchandise they offer does not violate copyright, trade law, or other applicable law.
The Dealers' Den is an adults-only area, so adult-oriented material may be sold. However, we would like to ask our dealers to apply some common sense. Some items must never be sold:
- Anything that violates German Law, including, but not limited to: weapons, weapon look-alikes, illegal drugs or pornography depicting pedophilia or zoophilia, racistic and religious content.
- Items made of real fur or animal body parts, such as taxidermy animals, clothing or accessories.
- Additionally, we do not allow the sale of sex toys, fetish gear and other items that the management of the Dealers's Room deems inappropriate.
- Hotel regulations prohibit selling food or beverages. The sale of beverages or food in closed containers may be permitted in special cases, with explicit permission from the Dealers' Den Management.
If you are unsure if your merchandise might fall into any of these categories, please drop us an email and ask! :)
