If you wish to sell games at Fair Game's 2020 event, please review the following.

Biggest change: We are only accepting games to be dropped off at our La Grange location.  

Step 1
Identify the games that you wish to sell. Each household is limited to submitting no more than 20 games. All games you submit should be complete and in lightly used condition. If a game is missing components or includes expansions/promos, please clearly write this information on a notecard and tape it to the outside of the box using painter's tape. We will also be requiring you to tape the box shut using painter's tape, so to speed up the check-in process, you can complete this step before you arrive in store to drop off your games.

Step 2
Fill out this Google Form. It collects basic contact information and a record of the games that you want to sell. We will be accepting submissions for games starting Friday, September 4 and going through Friday, September 18. All games must be priced at $5 or higher.

Step 3
After filling out the Google form, you must wait two days.

Let's repeat that for good measure ... once you fill out your form with games you are wanting to sell, you need to wait at least two days before bringing the games into the La Grange location.

We need time to process your submission and make sure we're ready to accept the games. If you are uncertain when you submitted the form, please call the store (708-937-9066) before you leave to drop off your games.


Step 4
Drop off your games at Fair Game La Grange between September 5 and September 20.

We are only accepting games at La Grange.

We will check the games against the information you submitted on the forms and have you complete a small amount of paperwork.

Important to note ...

• We will not be accepting any games after Sunday, September 20.
• We will not be able to accept games at the Fair Game Downers Grove location. You must drop off your games at the Fair Game La Grange location.
• We reserve the right to refuse any game for any reason.

Step 5
If a game you submit is sold on Saturday, you will receive 80% of the sale amount in store credit. We will be discounting all remaining games by 30% on Sunday. If your game sells on that day, you will receive 80% of the discounted price in store credit. You can use the store credit for any in-store purchase … event fees, new board games, booster packs and more.

If you wish to shop at this year's event, please review the information below. We have put many precautions into place to keep our community safe.

Biggest Changes: Customers wanting to shop early in the day on Saturday will need to preregister. Time slots will be randomly assigned (based on stated availability). Shopping time will initially be limited to 15 minute slots, with the ability to come back later in the day and on Sunday.

• For the first 8 hours of the Garage Sale, shoppers will need to preregister for time slots. If you wish to participate during those first eight hours, you must register for a slot by filling out this form. The form will allow you to designate specific times you are available to shop.  Submissions for time slots will close at the end of day on Sunday, September 20.
• Plan to be in front of the store 5 minutes before your assigned shopping group time. We will be checking names off a list and confirming group time slots. 
• Each of these shopping time slots will be 15 minutes long. At the end of the 15 minute shopping period, customers in that time group will exit out the back entrance of the store where we will have stations set up to handle payment. 
• No more than 9 customers will be allowed in the store at any one time.
• Each customer will be assigned only one time slot. These time slots are non-transferable.
• You can designate a friend that you would like to shop with on the form. If that friend (who must also submit a form) designates you as well, we will try to arrange things so that the two of you are assigned the same shopping period.
• Priority for these time slots will be determined randomly. Additional information regarding this process is detailed on the preregistration form and the FAQ below.
• The store will open at 8 AM on Saturday, and starting at 4 PM we will open the sale to walk-in customers. We will continue to keep in-store capacity at no more than 9 customers, so you might need to wait outside until capacity opens up. 
• Sunday will be unscheduled and open to walk-in customers throughout the day and again, 9 customers max and you might have to wait outside before capacity allows you in. 
• In keeping with our existing policy and local regulations, face masks will be required. If you do not bring one with you, we will have a selection available for purchase. You will not be allowed into the store without a mask.
• We will continue to keep our heightened cleaning and sanitizing process in place and hand sanitizer will be available at the door and at checkout.
