Coscove Market @ Matsuricon

No! We designed this Buy/Sell/Swap to make sure you can fully enjoy the convention. We’ll man the booth and help you sell while you can participate in all the con activities

Listing an item is always free on Coscove. Fees are charged when an item sells or when a service is used.

Seller Fees

It costs a 30% seller fee to sell in-person during Coscove Market at Matsuricon 2023. This is to cover convention related costs, staff, materials, transportation and other operational costs.

Any items you sell online before or after the event will be at our normal 10% seller fee.

Transaction Fees

In addition, our payment processor charges 2.9% plus $0.30 for each payment received from the buyer.

During our past events, we've seen successful sellers make more than $1,000 at the show! Our best advice is to list as many items as you are willing to let go, and don't be afraid to price them fairly. More often than not, you won't be overcharging your buyers. If you are the first owner, prices are usually between 50-80% of the original price. If you are the second or third owner, consider pricing it between 30-50% of the original price. You can always adjust or reduce the prices after the first day as you see fit.

Still not sure? Discuss with our community on Discord!

When listing your items, you will be prompted to set up your Stripe account on Coscove and link your bank account or debit card. Buyers at the convention will purchase your item listings directly. Payout will be dropped into your Stripe account and then to your connected account.

As many as you can! Bring everything that makes sense for you practically. We'll find a place for it.

We have a detailed guide here! You can drop off your items at our booth starting from 2:00 PM on Friday.

If you are having any issues, please reach out to us by email or on Discord. We will help you list online ahead of the event. Due to the popularity of this event, we will only be able to accept items that have been listed prior to the start of the event.

If your costume doesn’t sell, you can do 1 of 2 things:

You can take them back home and continue to enjoy or sell them. Your online listings on Coscove will still be active, so buyers can still discover and buy your items. We will continue to post your items on socials for you, and ensure they get the maximum number of 👀.

You can also donate your items to us simply by leaving them with us at the end of the event. Any proceeds from these items will go towards future Coscove Market events and community-building.

You must pick-up any items you want to keep before 2:00PM on Sunday.

With convenience comes the tradeoff of security. We do our very best to keep your items safe and secure, but we cannot guarantee complete prevention of theft. The risk may be higher especially for smaller items like figures, charms, and accessories. Please consider which items you want to bring in and which ones you want to sell online only.

By signing up for this event, you are accepting this risk.

We have staff and volunteers who will be watching over the items, and have procedures in place to increase security. We are always open to suggestions and feedback on how we can make this event safe and accessible for the community. You can also help by volunteering for this event. Just mark it down in the RSVP form or message us on Discord!
