Anyone have any ideas?

Hi yall. I have recently inherited a pretty good size beanie baby collection. Where is a good place to take them to or contact about buying them? I have been told that there are some with errors and some that are hard to find but I know very little about em. Looking for someone that could point me in the right direction?

Likely worth about fifty cents a piece.   If you want you can google information from the tush tags or use google lens and you'll see.   Not worth the price to ship.

99% of the Beanie Babies out there are worth a Dollar or less. No dealer is going to give you more than pennies for a bulk lot and they definitely won't tell you if there is one or two in the pile that MIGHT be worth a reasonable amount.

DO NOT judge the value based on sold listings on eBay, the ones that sell for high amounts almost never get paid for.

Hi

The Beanie baby resurrection is a big farce.  They are a thing of the past.  Have you done a search on eBay to see how many Beanie babies there are being sold allegedly because they are "Rare?"  It's over kill and you can thank all of your You tube video posts who don't have a clue as to what they are suggesting.  My suggestion is to either donate them and write them off on your taxes, because most Beanie Babies sit for many years with out a look or a consideration.  It's all fluff and a big fat waste of time to sell them here.  Be smart and list something people will actually take the time to view and perhaps purchase. 

Another suggestion...You have some interesting items in your shop, but your photos need a lot of work.  You have your tribal necklace with a brown back ground, you can't even see the content let alone any clarity of what that piece displays.  Those photos need to be cleaned up if you want them to sell.  Just a suggestion. 

Happy Selling

As many have posted already, there is more hype than sales with most beanie babies. You could list them here as a large lot to see if you could get anyone that would be interested. Just read how the Ebay fee structure works so you don't end up losing money on them. Just don't expect much if anything.

-Good Luck

They sell very slowly, but still worth listing if you have a store subscription and listings to burn. Just don't expect them to sell overnight, they wont. I typically price them between $5 and $10 + shipping.

The larger Beanie Buddies sell a lot faster, they also cost a bit more to ship because of size and weight, but they also bring a lot more money than the standard Beanie Babies do.

Here's an outstanding documentary from the History Channel explaining how the "Beanie Baby" craze was manipulated by the Beanie manufacturer, and why the mania collapsed upon itself:

     I pick them up all the time at garage sales for as little as $.10 each. I use them as ammo for the potato and propane cannons.

Pretty much this. I sell one every couple of months, so they definitely do sell, just not quickly.
