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.
