Consignor Overview

Consigning with a Rugrats Resale event is a great way to recycle items that your children have outgrown — and make some money in the process! Anyone can become a consignor by pricing and listing your gently used children’s items at our sale.
Consigning is as easy as…
  • Registering for our next sale using our online form
  • Pricing & tagging your items in our online tagging system
  • Dropping your tagged items off at the sale
  • Picking up, or donating, your unsold items
  • Watching your mailbox for your consignment check

What exactly is a consignor anyway? A consignor is an individual who sets prices on their own personal children’s items and then brings them to our sale to be sold. After the sale, you will be sent a check for the value of your items that were sold. Each consignor will be assigned a consignor number to keep track of their items during the sale.
​
Returning Consignors should login to your Rugrats State College account, Rugrats Altoona account, or Just Kids account to register for the upcoming sale and manage your inventory.  Please click here for important instructions if you wish to register for multiple sales. 
​Before you get your own consignor number, there are a few things we need to go over:
Quality Standards
Rugrats Resale strives to provide the best possible experience for our Shoppers. Part of that experience is ensuring the items available at Rugrats Resale events are held to a high quality standard. Keeping the quality level high not only benefits shoppers, but it ensures you – as a Consignor – see the highest return on the time you spend tagging. Please only list items that you yourself would consider purchasing.
​​Consigned items shall:
  • Be new or in gently-used condition
  • Be clean and freshly laundered
  • Be in current style
  • Have all pieces included
  • Have working batteries
  • Have honest descriptions
​Do not list items that are:
  • Worn-out, faded, or stained
  • Dirty or have an offensive odor
  • Recalled
  • Missing critical pieces
  • Broken or inoperable
  • Deceptively packaged or described
​We reserve the right to pull items which, at our discretion, do not meet our stated quality standards. These items will be returned to you with crossed out tags during pick up. Attempts to deceive our shoppers will not be tolerated and may be subject to an additional fee. Repeated or excessive attempts to consign items that violate these standards may result in being banned from future sales.

A detailed list of Accepted Items can be found here.
Consignor Responsibilities  
When you register to consign with Rugrats Resale, you are responsible for:
  • Listing a minimum of 15 items
  • Checking your items for recalls
  • Ensuring your items are the proper season – Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer
  • Accurately describing your item on the tag
  • Securely packaging your items
It is your responsibility to ensure none of your listed items are recalled. Here are a few resources to use when researching your items:
Consignor Help and Support
​We have several resources available to help Consignors with everything from how to use MyRugrats to how to package shoes for the sale!
  • Our Tagging page walks Consignors completely through the pricing and tagging process. It contains instructions for packaging your items.
  • There is a Rugrats Consignor Support Facebook group available! This group gets pretty active leading up to the sale and is a great way to crowd source answers to any questions you may have.
  • While on Facebook, be sure to Like the Rugrats Resale page and the Just Kids Resale page and RSVP for the upcoming sales events to keep up with the latest information.
  • Finally, you can reach us directly through our Contact Us page.
Consignor Drop Off and Inspection
Drop off is the process of delivering your tagged items to the sale location, getting them inspected, and helping to place them on the floor. Drop off is by appointment only. You will need to sign up for a drop off appointment through MyRugrats after creating an account and registering for the upcoming sale. Drop off appointments are generally made available one month before the upcoming sale.
During your drop off appointment, a worker will check you in and make sure your items are: Inspection is an important part of our sale and helps ensure the items we make available to our shoppers are high quality. If we identify items that are not properly tagged, do not meet our quality standards, or are not permitted, they will be sent home with you. Please do not be offended if any of your items are rejected. We receive around 30,000 items and in order to make the experience as pleasant as possible for shoppers, we need to be picky.
Consignors with more than 300 items are asked to schedule their drop off appointment as early in the day as possible and must complete drop off no later than 6pm. If you are consigning a large number of items, we encourage all Consignors to bring some help to keep things moving.
To ensure a quick and smooth drop off, you are expected to:
  • Arrive a few minutes early to check in
  • Have your first load in the building and ready to check in at your scheduled time
  • Group your clothing items by size and gender prior to arriving
  • Put your items in the correct area on the sale floor
  • Set up large items such as pack ‘n plays and bouncers
Once all your items have been placed on the floor, you are free to leave!
Consignor Pick Up
Pick up is generally late in the afternoon on the Half Price Sale day, but be sure to verify exact times with the official Consignor Schedule.  The final time will be communicated via email prior to the sale. During pick up, you will have an opportunity to pick up all of your items that were not sold during the sale or marked to donate to charity.
Please keep the following in mind during Consignor pick up:
  • Items will NOT be ready for pick up early
  • Check in with a worker before entering the sale floor
  • Check the “Lost Tags” cart for any of your items
  • Check the back wall and clothing racks for overflow items
  • Go through your items to verify you are only taking your items home with you
  • Be sure to leave with all of your items
  • Items not picked up by the ending time will be considered abandoned. Abandoned items will become the property of Rugrats Resale.
Fast Pass/ Express Consignors 
Express Consignors get to skip inspection and may drop off their items anytime between 9am and 6pm on drop off day!  You'll still need to choose a drop off appointment, but you can choose the one designated for Fast Pass/Express Consignors.  Please only chose this is you were sent an email instructing you to do so.
In order to earn this distinction, a consignor must have participated in the last two sales and show a history of:
  • NO items rejected at drop off inspection
  • NO items pulled from the floor during the sale
  • NO tag issues encountered during the sale at checkout
Consignors who attempt to sell items that do not meet our quality standards are tracked during drop off inspection and throughout the sale. We also track Consignors whose tags do not follow the guidelines posted on our tagging page. This data is used to compile a list of Fast Pass Consignors prior to each sale. Consignors who have earned a Fast Pass will be listed on the Fast Pass page before each sale season. If a consignor’s item is pulled during the sale, their Fast Pass may be revoked and will need to be re-earned.
For the updated listing of Fast Passes for the upcoming season, please visit the Fast Pass page.
MyResale
MyResale is the online tagging and inventory management system used by Rugrats Resale and Just Kids Resale. MyResale handles item tag generation and helps you manage your inventory across multiple sales. 
To register as a Consignor, you will need to create a free account with MyResale. The confirmation email you will receive after registering will contain your Consignor number. This number is important for identifying you and will be used frequently during your interactions with Rugrats Resale.
Be sure to enter your contact information carefully. We only send consignment checks to the address listed in MyResale. Email is the primary communication tool we use to notify Consignors of upcoming dates and important information. Should a problem arise during the sale, it is important that your phone number is correct so we can contact you quickly.
Once you receive your consignor number, you can log into MyResale anytime by clicking one of the login buttons at the top of the website.  There is one button for each sale.
After you are logged in, you will need to register for our upcoming sale. Registering for a sale lets us know that you plan to list items for the sale. During sale registration, you will have the opportunity to update your contact information and read the latest Consignor Agreement. It is important to carefully read and understand the Consignor Agreement each time you register for a sale as it is subject to change from sale to sale. Please only register for an upcoming sale if you plan to drop items off for that sale.
If you wish to consign at multiple sale locations  (Rugrats State College, Rugrats Altoona, or Just Kids in Bellefonte), please click here.
If you would like to receive your payment through PayPal rather than a check (it's much faster!) then please type "PayPal- your email address" in the top line of the address bar in your account, moving your address to the second line.  This will need done for each sale, but once it's done, you won't need to do it again!
