EXHIBITOR SHOW RULES

To become an Exhibitor, you must agree to the following terms & rules:

You will be responsible for your space and merchandise and will not hold Morphy Auctions or any of it’s representatives responsible for personal or property damage. The show manager reserves the right to refuse table space to anyone when, in the manager’s opinion, it would serve in the best interest of the show, other exhibitors or the collecting fraternity. Show rules and regulations are subject to change. Agreement: The space rental applicant acknowledges that no agreement to rent space exists until all requirements have been met and such agreement is confirmed by Morphy Auctions.

Safety: No Loaded Firearms

  • No loaded firearms or loaded magazines or clips will be permitted at any time in the show, with the exception for law enforcement personnel.

  • Exhibitors agree to individually check and clear each and every firearm which they bring to the show or which any person that they bring to the show has in their possession. This includes personal carry guns as well as all of the guns on their table, under their table, in their briefcases or purses or any place in their possession or in the possession of anyone who is with them.

  • All cartridge firearms, except those attached to a display in a non-removable part thereof, will be tied with a plastic tie to be rendered inoperable.

  • All detachable magazines must be removed from semiautomatic weapons.

  • No loose ammunition will be permitted at the show. Collector ammunition, either individual pieces or in boxes shall be in sealed containers or under cover (i.e., a lidded showcase).

  • No unserviceable ammo will be permitted for sale or displayed at the show.

  • No black powder will be permitted for sale or displayed at the show.

  • No explosive ordinances, destructive devices, parts designed specifically to convert a semi-automatic firearm to full automatic firearm, shall be permitted for display or sale at the show.

Legal

  • It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to be familiar with all federal, state, and local laws.

  • No books, posters, clothing, sound or film media may be offered at the show, which describe the fabrication of any device which, if possessed, would constitute a felony under the laws of the United States or under the law of the state or municipality where the show is being held.

  • The owner of each firearm is personally responsible for his or her actions or the action of any member of the public or any other exhibitor. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to protect the show and it’s participants from the unsafe or illegal acts of anyone handling the firearms of the exhibitor. Accordingly, the exhibitor agrees that neither the show management, its sponsors, agents, employees or their representatives, the convention facility, the convention decorator or the security representatives of the show are responsible for any loss or damage from any cause suffered by an exhibitor, their employees, a member of the public, any other exhibitor or to property in their possession at the show. Further, the exhibitor expressly releases the show management, the show facility, the show convention decorator and the show’s security company and its agents or individuals or employees from any and all claims for such loss, damage or injury.

Merchandise & Displays

  • Our show is advertised to the public as a family event.

  • No exhibit may block or interfere with a neighboring exhibit. Exhibitors shall confine all exhibit activities within the limits of their own booths\tables. The level of sound production devices shall be kept low enough so as to not be objectionable to other exhibitors.

  • Each exhibitor is obligated to honestly and properly present merchandise at the show. Reproductions, altered items or originals which have been modified must be so identified. At the show management’s sole option, any such merchandise, not properly labeled, will be remove. Failure to promptly do so is grounds for the show management to close the exhibitor’s booth or table with the management not having any further responsibility to the exhibitor.

  • The show management reserves the right to remove any items deemed undesirable at this show. Coins, watches, jewelry and non-related items are permitted subject to the management’s approval.
