The flea market will be back for this year’s Nadeshicon!
Following the resounding success of last year’s flea market, we have decided to bring it back, but this time for the whole weekend of the convention! You don’t have any more room for any new figure? Your book-case is starting to make strange noises under the pressure from all your mangas and animes? Come find a new owner for your used japanese pop culture goods! Who knows, you might also find the one missing volume to your collection!
If you would like to sell your items, you will only need to bring them to the location of the flea market during the convention. However, if you wish to bring a lot of goods to sell, we recommend filling this form, printing it and bringing it along with your goods to make the process faster and smoother.
Please note that there will be a 20% service fee on sold items.
See you there!
Small reminder that pre-registration is still open!
You have until April 10th to preorder your badge on our pre-registration website!

We are still looking for theme ideas for Meets!
We wish to know what type of Meets you want to see at Nadeshicon! You are part of an Attack on Titan fan community? You are interested in Gothic Lolita fashion, but are not sure where to start exactly? Meets are the perfect place for you to discuss a passion you hold dear with people who care as much as you do about it, or to find more about a subject you’ve only recently started being interested in!
That’s why we need you! If you want us to plan a Meet on one of your passions, we need you to fill the appropriate form and send it to us at [email protected]. You may find the form in the Get involved section!
