For Dealers

PulpFest 2012 will have over 100 six-foot tables in its 15,800 square-foot dealers’ room. Wall tables will cost $80 and island tables will be $70. Wall tables and placement within the dealers’ room will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. All dealers will also be required to purchase three-day memberships for themselves and for any helpers accompanying them to PulpFest.

There will be no height restrictions on any tables. Displays will be allowed on tables as long as they can stand safely. Please use common sense and courtesy to design your displays. All members registering as dealers must have material for sale at their tables. If you have any special needs–electrical outlets, a desire to be positioned near certain dealers, unique display requirements, and so on–please let us know when you register. All registered dealers will be listed on the Dealers page of the PulpFest website with a description of the materials they will be selling at the convention.

Although the focus of PulpFest 2012 will be pulp magazines and related materials, vintage paperbacks, digests, men’s adventure and true crime magazines, first edition hardcovers, series books, dime novels, original art, Big Little Books, B-movies and serials and related collectibles, old-time-radio shows, and Golden and Silver Age comic books can also be sold. Please remember that PulpFest is not a comic book convention. Sexually explicit material, including Playboy, Penthouse, and Oui, will not be allowed.

Dealer set-up will take place on Thursday, August 9th from 4 - 11 PM. After setting up their tables, all dealers and their helpers are to leave the dealers’ room. There will be no buying, selling, or browsing allowed on Thursday during dealer set-up. All dealers are expected to set up on Thursday evening by 11 PM.
