Charity Auction

Unexpected and rare treasures you fill find, yes, at the ConQuesT Charity Auction.

All proceeds benefit AboutSF, a resource center for speculative literature, science fiction, and education that also coordinates volunteer efforts throughout the speculative fiction field. AboutSF is based out of the The J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas, also home to the Theodore Sturgeon and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards and the annual Campbell Conference. AboutSF is a joint project of the university, The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and The Science Fiction Research Association.

Our experienced auctioneers provide quite a show, mixing their own unique brand of stand-up comedy with award-winning displays of personal humiliation and excellence in begging. So come one and all, and spend your parents' inheritance! You'll get some great stuff, and your purchases and cash donations will fund the cause of spreading science fiction to a new generation of readers.

Donations can be dropped off in the charity auction area, where the items will be on daily display for your review. And there's always a few last-minute surprises at showtime!
