Bee Happy Consignment strives to provide the best possible experience for our Shoppers. Part of that experience is ensuring the items available at 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. Please only send items to your PC 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

​Do not list items that are:

• Worn-out, faded, or stained

• Dirty or have an odor

• Recalled

• Missing pieces

• Broken or inoperable

The following are examples of what we accept – and don’t accept – for consignment at Bee Happy Consignment events. These lists are to serve as guides. We generally accept most children’s item provided it is in excellent condition. If you have questions about an item, feel free to contact us!

​These examples are almost always accepted at Bee Happy:

• New and Gently Used Children’s Clothing: We accept size Preemie to 14/16 for kids. Please only list items for the current season.  Clothing must be clean and free of any stains or holes. All zippers and snaps must function properly.  

• Shoes: We accept Infant size 0 though Big Kid size 7. Shoes must be clean and without excessive wear – the sole should still have a tread and not be smooth. Please only list footwear for the current season. 

• Toys: Toys should include all major parts. If a minor part is missing, it should be clearly noted on the tag. Battery operated toys must include working batteries, functional battery covers, and applicable chargers. No stuffed animals UNLESS they have batteries and function with lights, music, teaching, etc. 

• ​Books: Children’s and Maternity hardcover and paperback books are welcome. Books should be in good condition, free of writing and torn pages. Partially completed activity/sticker books are not accepted. Please do not put packing tape on the cover when tagging! Visit our tagging page for help with this!

• Children's DVDs rated G and PG are welcome at our sale. NO CDS. NO VHS.

• Infant Equipment: High chairs, bouncers, swings, strollers, activity mats, and stationary chairs are all great items to sell at Bee Happy Consignment. These items should all be clean and function properly.

• Outdoor Play Equipment: Bikes, trikes, scooters, ride-on toys, playsets, swings, slides, and wagons are examples of items that are accepted. Play equipment must be clean and in good working order.

• Children’s Furniture: Toddler beds, cribs, crib sized mattresses, changing tables, rocking chairs, small seats, Pottery Barn chairs, etc. are all accepted. Furniture must not show signs of excessive wear.

• New or Unopened Baby Items: New items sealed in factory packaging or with the original tags tend to sell very well. For example, unopened diapers and pacifiers sell quickly!​​

​These items are generally accepted; however, they require some special attention. If you plan to consign any of the items listed here, please make sure you follow the restrictions carefully.

• Women's: We will accept 25 items of Women's clothing at all of our sales, beginning Spring 2024.  These items should be aligned with the current season, in current fashion, and subject to the same wear/tear inspection process as other categories.  There is a limit of 25 Women's clothing items per consignor and 5 pairs of Women's shoes (like-new) per consignor. We want this to be a boutique-like experience for our shoppers and therefore we are keeping this section small and filled with quality brands!  For example: Penn State Gear, LuLuLemon, Nike, UnderArmour, JCrew, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, etc. We will have a strict inspection process at check-in. Please see the photo guide HERE. We will not accept Alfred Dunner, Shein, etc. When in doubt, shoot us a message and ask!

• Maternity: We will accept Maternity clothing at all of our sales, beginning Spring 2024.  These items should be aligned with the current season, in current fashion, and subject to the same wear/tear inspection process as other categories.  There is a limit of 40 maternity clothing items per consignor. 

• Bedding: Any bedding that contains fiber fill will only be accepted in the toddler bed/crib size.  Single layer blankets are accepted ONLY if they are kid-themed.  PA state law requires that previously owned items with fiber fill be sprayed prior to sale. At this time, the spraying process is too labor intensive for us to accept larger items. ALL crib bumbers have been recalled, including mesh. We do not accept any crib bumpers at our sales. 

• Boppy Nursing Pillows: Boppy nursing pillows may be listed for sale. However, the pillows require spraying by PA state law.

• Bumbo Baby Seats: Bumbo Baby Seats are accepted provided they have been fitted with the free repair kit as detailed in the recall information posted here.

• Kids Arts & Crafts: New or like-new art supplies and craft projects are always accepted at the sale, as long as they are KID RELATED. Please do not list craft items that have been used. This includes coloring books with missing or colored pages, boxed craft projects that have been opened, and sticker or activity books that have been partially completed. Crafts should be a complete KIT and not a random bag of miscellaneous supplies.
