DEALER ROOM RULES/GUIDELINES

  1. Permit and Sales Tax:  The state of Iowa requires that all dealers collect and remit sales tax on dealer table purchases. If you do not have a sales tax permit you may get a temporary permit by contacting the Iowa Department of Revenue. Please have your tax permit with you during the convention as you will be asked to provide this information.
  2. Weapons:  All edged weapons and other sharp, breakable or potentially hazardous merchandise must be displayed in a safe and appropriate manner. Do not sell swords, knives, etc., to minors without the permission of the minor's parent.
  3. Display:  Please display any adult-themed merchandise in a tasteful manner.
  4. Safety:  No open flames allowed (e.g. no burning of candles, incense, illudim 348, lit canons, etc.). Do not "flow" your merchandise and displays into the aisles or other dealer spaces.
  5. Sound:  Music and Video are permitted in your dealer area. However, please keep the sound to a volume that does not annoy your neighbors. If it is too loud, you will be asked to turn it down.
  6. Food Vending:  Dealers can not sell food items because of hotel regulations on corkage and food vending.  
  7. Membership:  All people working your table(s) must have a DemiCon membership. Badges must be worn at all times.
  8. Set-Up and Tear-Down:  You must vend all three days of DemiCon. You  must be set up and ready for business on Friday at 2 p.m., and continue to conduct business during all of the Dealer Room hours until 2 pm Sunday.  You cannot dismantle your tables until Sunday after 2 p.m.
