The Bring & Buy
Sponsored By
The Tabletop Scotland Bring & Buy is a fantastic way for you to sell games that you’re not playing anymore, and buy games that are out of print!
It’s essentially a second hand market, where you put games in for sale and other attendees of the convention buy them.
It’s also a great way to support our Charity Partner, Waverley Care.
How does it work?
The Bring & Buy is CASH ONLY.
Cash Only? Yes. We do not accept card or digital payments.
Why? When sellers “cash out” we give them their money at that time.
This avoids transaction fees incurred by card processing companies, and the lag involved in transactions being processed over a weekend.
Note: You need a ticket for the convention to access the Bring & Buy, this includes dropping games off and cashing out. In other words, you can’t access the Bring & Buy without a ticket for the convention.
e.g. if you plan to drop games off on the Friday, then you need a Friday ticket. Similarly if you plan to cash out on the Sunday, then you need a ticket for the Sunday.

Selling (Please Read This!)
You can only drop off or collect games / money if you have a ticket for the convention.
e.g. if you plan to drop games off on the Friday, then you need a Friday ticket.
- Items or cash not collected before 14:30 on the Sunday will be accepted as donations to Tabletop Scotland to do as we see fit.
- All games must be submitted via the G.A.M.E. System prior to being brought to the Bring & Buy area at the convention. This can be done by either using the built in search engine or by manually entering the information.
- If you have extras included e.g. expansions, use the manual entry option to add that information. There is a 50 character limit.
- If you are bringing items that have barcode stickers from previous years or other reasons that are unrelated to the physical box’s barcode, we will require that you remove these stickers before we accept them.
- During Drop Off
- we will confirm that all of your items for sale are listed on the system
- we will label them with removable stickers – Note: if you have more than 20 items, we may ask you to apply the labels to speed up the process for other attendees
- we will add them to the shelves.
Only once that is done will your items be available for sale.
- To edit your prices, come to the Bring and Buy, find your game, and get it repriced by one of the Volunteers.
- Boxed games must be secured using elastic bands prior to drop off at the Bring & Buy. Do not wrap games in shrink wrap or similar. Any games brought like this will be rejected, unless it is clearly a factory sealed item.
- Loose items (dice, playmats etc) must be in containers or bags, and secured using elastic bands or similar.
- Games must be complete. If games are reported as having missing items before sale, we will remove them from sale.
- Lastly, please price items reasonably.
10% (rounded up to the nearest £1) of the selling price of each item is kept by Tabletop Scotland.
For example:
- If your cash out total is £56.00, you will receive £50.00 and we will retain £6.00.
- If your cash out total is £8.00, you will receive £7.00 and we will retain £1.00.
