Vintage. Beanie Babies

[ashyo1213]

I have about 250 beanie babies all in mint condition that I'm trying to sell

Hi, can you be a bit more specific? I do not see anything listed for sale under this account.

If you are looking to sell them to someone in the forums, solicitation is not allowed here.

There was a recent discussion regarding selling beanie babies on eBay. You can search through these past forum discussions here to gain insight. Good luck.

Almost none of them are worth the cost and effort to list them.  Most experienced sellers won't take them for free. 

They are a glut on the market.  There are currently 530,000+ listings for Beanie Babies on eBay.  Many of those listings are not for individual ones but for lots, meaning the actual number of them is a couple of million or more.

Look at Completed listings, and you will see how few sell and for what low prices:

Vintage? Didn't baby beanies first come out in the mid 90s?

What's with the onslaught of these Beanie Baby posts? Is it the 2024 version of the Sri Lanka seller posts from last year?

That one Sri Lankan tutorial guy told his following to buy and sell beanie babies.

Notice that too?  The meaning of vintage seems to have take a turn, like... Anything from yesterday back.

I see it all the time, "Vintage video game..." Huh?  Like 20 years ago makes it vintage?

"Look Dear!  Vintage Mogen David 20/20... Its three weeks old!"

"Yes indeed, it just tastes like an old shoe from the 1800's."

The most common way people define vintage is over 20 years old. Just google it. It is because in your 30s you have money to buy things you wanted as a kid. About 20 years later.

     I pickup one or two on occasion at a garage sale. We shoot them out of the potato cannon.

You need to enroll in Managed Payments if you want to sell items.   You need to provide your checking account (ROUTING# only)  and your social security# (for tax purposes).   Name on your checking account, social security card and EBAY profile page must be EXACT MATCH (or your application may be denied).   Legal name only (no nicknames).

Good luck with your selling...

Then by all means sell them on your site, because you can't sell them or advertise them here on this forum.

Happy Selling and Good luck!

Most animal shelters accept them as donations and use them as pet toys.

You may be able to get a tax break on the donation.
