T y Beanie Babies

[ashwil_20]

I have several Ty Beanie Baby originals for sell.  I'm trying to figure out the best way to sell them.  I have a few listed on ebay,  but I've only had 1 view on 1 of them.  Please help

There is no help for a fad that was over and done with many years ago.

In all honesty your best bet would be to donate them to a toy drive or children's hospital.

The Beanie Baby craze peaked in the 1990's. Very few if any sell for more the $5-10 doillars anymore.

Sadly, the Beanie Baby craze faded some years ago.  Even the ones that are supposedly still of value are  no longer.  Example:  A local TS has bins of "stuffies".  The largest are $2, medium are $1 and smaller ones are 50 cents.  Occasionally, they get desperate and offer them all for 3/$1 which is when I buy.  Have seen some of those that are advertised as "rare" on eBay, like the Princess Diana one still unsold even after the lowest price is marked.  If you're determined to sell on eBay, do some research into what prices they are actually selling for. Some folks who have a quantity will list them in lots.

Sorry no one here can help you with your lack of sales.

Try selling items that people really want, not outdated worthless stuffed animals.

When will Ebay finally get rid of the Beanie Baby category on this board and outlaw those 2 words in every other category....???

Marketplace is flooded with Beanie Babies that nobody wants.    There are over 530,00 available for sale on EBAY.   If you price at $5 and maybe you will get a buyer.

Not what you wanted to hear but what the others have said is true.  No one wants Beanies anymore.

If you look on eBay at Beanie listings and solds, you will see some with outrageous prices.  You should note that these are usually listed by zero or low feedback sellers and are purchased by the same.  For some reason, these buyers and sellers look at it like a game: someone lists for a high amount and someone buys it for that amount but of course, they never pay for it.   Makes no sense.

You could put them in one lot, take good pictures, add additional details in your description, and put them up in a 10-day auction beginning Thurs night.

Then, you will know the current fair market value. 😉

That fad is long over.    All you can do is try lower prices.

There are  only 520,000+ listing for beanie babies on ebay-   seems like you would  have a lot of competition.  Do not waste your time if you doen't want to sell them at little or no profit or a loss loss.

[mantle1951]

I would donate them, give them to kids in the neighborhood or throw them out don't waste your time selling them.

I will pray that people will buy them from you.

I’d say that the advice on these boards is more valuable than really any beanie baby. And we don’t charge anything. Beanie babies are worth less than that..

They are no longer babies, all are seniors now with AARP cards.
