Hi,
First of all I'd like to say that Confuzzled this year was amazing. Staff did an impressive job at getting everything to work out as well as it did.
The venue was great and the people there really pulled out all the stops to make it an awesome Con.
The one gripe I had was with the auction (again).
It was long and there was no way of coming back for an item. Maybe number them next time?
Also, I think with this many items on auction, you could afford banning "0% to charity". Many items only fetched the prices they did because of the auction. They would not have sold for that much in the dealers' den. I don't think it's the job of con staff to help sell individual artists' work.
The reason that there's an auction at all is because this way more money can be made for the charity than from just selling their merchandise. I think it would be great to return to those roots and have at least some mandatory contribution of someone wants an item to go up for auction.
