Assistance Selling Beanie Babies

[myblackjack]

Hello,

I started collecting Beanie Babies back in the 90s and have a couple tubs full, all dust protection sealed and with tag protectors.  Are there people that will either evaluate and sell these for me or give me guidance on how to proceed with selling them.

Thank you,

Natalie

Should have sold them back in the 90s when they were worth something.

Beanie Babies are pretty much dead now and not worth much.

Unfortunately, most are worth 50 cents to a dollar. You can do your own research by looking at the sold listings for each one that you have. Also, look at how many active listings there are. Everyone is trying to sell beanies. And don't get fooled by active listings that are for thousands of dollars.

Thank you!

Hand them out for Halloween.

This site is over saturated with Beanie babies that will sit and not sell until rapture. They are completely worthless anymore.  As others have advised, give them out on Halloween, donate them to the police department or the Good will.  You are spinning your wheels trying to sell them here on eBay.  

Good luck to you!

They sell for 50 cents or less at most thrift stores.  They are not worth the cost of shipping and certainly not worth consigning.

Good  Luck with selling these!  I've seen them at yard sales for 50 cents.  The Best way to unload them is selling them in lots and not asking much because you have shipping and people always think the shipping is too much.

I usually let kids pick a fun size candy bar or new fast food toy and they always go for the toy.

I feel sorry for those that believed the hype that these were somehow a good investment.

They may be worth a lot in 3024.   Just hang on to them and wait.

Like others have said unless you are lucky and happen to have one of the few rare ones most are worth at most a couple of dollars a piece. 

I would definnately do some research because you never know.

There was a sorry story published about a couple who decided to invest pretty much all of their savings in beanies for a college fund, driving themselves into near destitution in the inevitable collapse. I was face-palming until I recalled all the money eBay put into the fidget spinner fad and then the NFT bubble.

     I pick them up on occasion at garage sales they make great ammunition for potato cannons.

Thank you for replying to my request.  I had been told that some of my beanies might be valuable, a Peking panda bear, a Princess Diana bear and others.  I guess I’ll just pass them on to family.
