That makes me feel better, I have about 5 large boxes of Beanie babies that I bought in 2004, I think there's about a thousand of them, never checked lately to see how much they are worth.

II have several large lots up at between $1 and $2 per critter and they are all sitting unsold.
We've currently got 3 sets of the McDonald's Beanie Babies sitting in our storage room, we don't see a point in listing them 'cause they're basically worthless.
We're also pretty sure the set of 12 weighs over a pound and are ineligible to be shipped as a USPS first class package, a better bet would be a USPS priority mail medium flat rate box.
Original poster, the beanies you have already listed are worthless and can be safely thrown in the trash.
Don't do that-- donate them instead. No one collects them anymore, but people give them to their kids to play with. One of my friends found her old Beanie Baby collection at her mother's house and gave them to her 2-year-old-- kiddo loves them.

I usually say throw in the trash to just be extremely clear that the items have little to no value. Although I think most of the donated ones still end up in the trash in the end, as they are all over the goodwill bins, almost universally ignored there and then they go in the dumpster at the end of the day.

It’s probably worth less than it did when it was created. There’s not much call for beanie babies anymore.
There’s no such thing as a “1st addition†..it might be a “1st Edition†though.
About your listing for McDonald’s beanie babies…no where in your listing do you say how many there are. Your shipping should say with signature confirmation, eBay policy states anything sold for more than $750.00 should ship with signature confirmation. If I where to sell something for $2000.00
it wouldn’t ship first class, it would go priority 2 day or over night.
No all as a set. The price should say 200.00$ Not sure how to fix it.
@deadan-3416
Call up your listing and tick 'Revise listing' at the top. Change your quantity to 1 (NOT more than 10 available) and adjust your price to 200.00. Mention in the description and title 'Set of 12'. Confirm and submit your changes.

Also realize that the same complete set is available for $12 shipped in quantity right now. There is no $2000 customer for that set, there is no $200 customer for that set. The sets will sometimes get $20 but the sellers getting those prices are promoting their listings heavily and also getting lucky for finding customers who do no price research.
It's worth whatever you can convince someone to give you for it. And if you advertise it as a "1st addition" I wouldn't expect too many buyers to think you know what you're doing.

·3 years agoYou're in the wrong century if you think beanie babies are worth anything. In the 1990s, that could've very well sold for hundreds.

The one you put the photo up of actually has the fastest sell through rate I have ever seen for a beanie baby, but it is still only worth about $10.
This video goes over how long it actually takes to sell a beanie baby on ebay even at the low sell prices they actually sell at.

·3 years agoYou have eight McDonald's Happy Meals Beanie Babies listed for $2,000. Have you checked Completed Listings on those:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mcdonalds+happy+meal+beanie+babies&_in_kw=4&LH_Complete=1
Almost none sold, not even for a buck, and a complete set of 15 sold for only $14.99.
I know I should not tell you your business, but the bottom fell out of the Beanie Baby market about 20 years ago.

·3 years agoI agree with @maxine*j -also, no one will find the $2000 listing unless you put the names of the Beanie Babies in the title.

Even worse... looks like 12 different ones, but the listing quantity says '1'.
Are you trying to get $2K per Beanie, @deadan-3416? If so, how does your buyer (LOL) pick from the dozen? ðŸ˜

I don’t know how I missed that.

And a friendly tip: In your own research, use the word you mean -- edition, not addition.
