Hey DPF,

Does anybody know when Disney is going to release the lots for the Silent Auction that will be held at the event?

Thanks,

Erik

Hey yeah... don't they normally announce all that by now? Not like I could afford any of it after buying all the pins from the RSP. :lol:

I dont remember them announcing the lots for the silent auction ? Has anyone else seen this and where?

Last year they released a catalog, but I don't remember when they did.

I also remember seeing last year's catalog before the event.

We were told there would be no preview. Same thing happened at Tiki Room event.

So then will people just see all the stuff for auction when they arrive at the event? That is pretty cool, I cannot wait to see what people will be bidding on, as long as it isn't Kingdom Hearts (which I have a feeling there won't be...as usual :lol I'll be good, but it's still great to see the pins.

Is there going to be a pin for signing up for the silent auction like there was at 2013 D23 Expo?

Last year there was not. Its strange, at Mickeys Circus you did not have to even sign up.

You can't really compare the auction at the trade event to the one at the Expo. The most expensive thing that sold at the Expo was in the ball park of $20 thousand to $30 thousand. Last year at the trade event it was $2 thousand to $3 thousand. But I wish they did give a pin!

They were definitely out pretty early last year. I did ask when I called last week and they said they were most likely not releasing previews this year. We just have to wait and see when we get there! I kind of prefer having a surprise like that, though.... =)

Yeah. A surprise would be nice

What kind of stuff do they normally have at the silent auctions? This is the first event I am going to and didn't know what it entails.

I agree...although Mickey's Circus was our first event of this kind, so everything was a surprise. Looking forward to being a little more relaxed this year!
