Live Game Collectibles Auction

Since 2010, the PRGE collectibles auction has been one of our most popular events.

The PRGE 2024 live auction will occur on the evening of Saturday, September 28 on the Auction Stage!

We heard your feedback on last year's auction - so this year we will be back to the classic "LIVE in the Ballroom" format, with better audio, lighting and with items being auctioned off in front of the audience.

Auction Schedule

• 6:00 PM - Bidder Registration begins
• 6:30 PM - Auction items can be seen at the Auction Stage
• 7:30 PM - Auction begins
• 10:00 PM Auction Ends

The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is a non-profit organization, meaning the show does not make a profit, additionally making a profit isn’t what motivates us. All the money we make from ticket sales, merch, vendor fees and any other revenue we generate goes towards making PRGE the fantastic event we all know and love. Every year our costs go up and what once cost tens of thousands now costs hundreds of thousands.

One of our avenues of raising funds to put the show on has been the sale of mystery boxes in the auction. We used to have a great supply of rare collectables and along with some donated items, we made sure the boxes included some amazing objects. These were never “mystery boxes” like others sell, where you are gambling and may or may not get a hit. It was a way people could donate to us and have a bit of fun while getting some neat pieces. The last two years have been a bit lackluster for a number of reasons and we've found a way to improve things!

This year we want to try something different so we are offering mini-sponsorships if you donate items to be included in our mystery boxes. Here are the tiers:

• Donate an item(s) valued at $50 or more and you will receive a shoutout of your name or business name at the auction and a thank you on the website.
• Donate an item(s) valued at $100 or more and you will receive all of the above + 1 free weekend pass.
• Donate an item(s) valued at $200 or more and you will receive all of the above + 1 t-shirt and a social media post shouting out your business or project
• Donate an item(s) valued at $500 or more and you will receive all of the above + 4 more weekend passes and a small banner ad on our website for one year.

Want to donate more? Let’s talk!

The fine print: PRGE needs to agree on the value of the item(s) being donated and if we are promoting your business or project it needs to fit the values we promote.

Not interested in any of this and you have an item you would like to submit to the auction? Here’s the link, you can submit auction items now, please fill out this form!.
