Ready to get started?

​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 found in the sections below. Our PC will reject any items that do not meet these guidelines. Rejected items will be automatically 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 you meet, 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 the first sale location, then transport them to the second sale location.  Your consignment check will be sent to the email address in your registration.

Please do not set up your own Consignor account if you plan to use the Professional Consignment Service. We will handle this for you.  Simply fill out the following form and agree to the terms at the bottom of the page to be signed up for the PCS! 

Professional consigned items will be sold in the State College and Altoona sales only. They will NOT be transported to the Bellefonte or Clearfield sale.
