Since there are over 40,000 McDonald's restaurants in the world, logic would dictate that there were hundreds of thousands of McDonalds Beanie Babies available on the buyer market.
In other words -- NONE of them are "rare."
My sister had two huge cardboard boxes, filled with McDonald's Beanie Babies. After attempting to sell a couple dozen of them (without result), we finally gave them away to Goodwill -- which only took them reluctantly, since Beanie Babies are worthless.
Beanie Babies were cheaply mass-produced in Third World countries, using low-wage, overworked labor.
The manufacturer deliberately promoted his cheaply made stuffed toys as "instant collectibles" and "investment quality collectibles" -- but they weren't.
Items which are manufactured in quantities of well over ten thousand (or more) are never collectible -- until a major catastrophe or war or disaster wipes out over 90% of the existing inventory -- and Beanie Babies have never suffered from any such phenomena.
Beanie Babies were foisted upon a naive and gullible public for only one simple reason -- to make Ty Warner a multi-millionaire.

No Beanie Baby will ever approach the "inverted Jenny" or the T206 Honus Wagner baseball card in real value or collectibility.
And that is being bluntly honest.

Donate them, or give them to the neighbor kids.

But you can become a seller and sell on eBay.
Good luck!
