​Rugrats Professional Consignment

Picture
 No time to tag? The Rugrats Professional Consignment Service is available to help families who may want to consign but just don’t have the time. Simply drop your items off and our Professional Consignor will take care of everything! It doesn’t get any easier than this!
Sell in both sales! All items tagged by the professional consignor will be entered into both the State College and the Altoona sales, then donated.  Double your chances of getting your things sold by getting them before two different groups of shoppers!
​Space is limited! The deadline for accepting new items is 2 weeks before the first Rugrats sale.  No additional items can be added for the second sale beyond that deadline.

How it Works

​To begin, sign up for the service using the form at the bottom of this page.  You will be assigned a Professional Consignor (PC), and she will email you to schedule your drop off appointment several weeks ahead of the first sale. Our PC will arrange to meet with you in the State College or Altoona area.
Next, gather at least 15 items paying close attention to our Quality Standards and our Accepted Items List. Our PC will reject any items that do not meet these guidelines. Rejected items will be donated.

Meet with our PC to drop off your items. Please make sure your items are packaged in boxes or bags that you will not need back. Each package should be clearly labeled with your first and last name.
After the drop off appointment, our PC will properly package, hang, tag and competitively price your items. Due to the large quantity of items our PC is working with each sale, all items will be marked REDUCE and DONATE. This means all of your items will reduce for the the 1/2 Price Sale and any unsold items will be donated at the end of the second sale.
Finally, our PC will drop off your items at Penn Skates for Rugrats State College, then transport them to Duncansville Community Center for Rugrats Altoona (or vice versa).  Your consignment checks will be mailed to your home address or sent to your PayPal email address after each sale.
