Room Sales is not an official Convention activity, but it is a tradition that many Conventioneers enjoy. Dealers, artists, and sellers of all sorts open their rooms for you to check out their items for sale and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from hunting for doll treasures from floor to floor. We will attempt to group the majority of people selling from their rooms on several floors as a convenience for shoppers as well as other guests of the Hotel. Check the Yapp App or Convention Facebook page to see who is selling where.

​

We are establishing the following 2026 Convention requirements for Room Sales participants in accordance with the hotel, so please read carefully if you are planning to sell items from your room:

​

CONFIRM: First, make sure you sign up for room selling in the online store by March 22, 2026. This is your confirmation that you will be room selling. If you need to make changes to participate, or decide not to participate later, please email our Special Events Chair Jane Miramontez prior to March 22, 2026, at janemiramo@gmail.com 

 

ROOM SALES DOOR TAG: Each registered Conventioneer confirming that they will be participating in Room Sales will receive a Room Sales Door Tag during designated times and registration. This tag is displayed on your private room door handle, signaling that you are open for business! Tags will display your name and room number and are non-transferable. Tag distribution will begin on-site starting Saturday, July 4, 2026, in case you wish to start selling earlier than the first Registration on Monday evening. You do not need to be pre-checked in at Registration to pick up your tag, but you must be checked into the Hotel and provide your room number and also be confirmed as participating in Room Sales. If you have not confirmed, you may still sign up and receive a tag at Registration. Please refer to the early Room Sales Door Tag on-site location/pickup times and Registration times on the schedule.

​

HOURS: Room shopping will be open before the Convention, beginning Saturday, July 4, 2026, and ending early Thursday morning July 9, 2026, at 1:00am CST

​

ADVERTISEMENT: Do not post or stick or put anything on walls and tables in the hotel. The only advertisement will be on the Yapp App or on our official Facebook page. There will be no boards.

​

SETTING UP: The Hotel will not provide any on-site tables, table linens or chairs for rent or use in your rooms. Plan ahead: If you require any of these items, you will need to bring them with you or acquire from an outside source. Please do not contact the Hotel, as they will not be providing this type of service or rental to any guest in a private room. On-site tables, table linens/covers, and chairs will only be provided in the Sales Room. Please look on the Sales Room page for more information on that.

​

PROMOTIONS: Everyone is welcome to share their Room Sales information and pictures of their items on the 2026 Convention Facebook Group starting on June 27, 2026. Room Sales posts before this date will not be approved. Posts will be published with the comment section turned off and must follow these two guidelines or they will not be approved:

Do not offer any item(s) for pre-sale.

Do not list prices for any item(s) you are posting.

​

All Room Sales (sneak peeks) posts will be checked against these criteria, as will captions on attached photos. Questions? Please contact our Special Events Chair at: janemiramo@gmail.com.
