Chocolate the Moose

[tdc366]

I am looking to sell my Beanie Baby(Chocolate the Moose).  Not exactly sure how this works? I have seen listing's from $10,000-$30,000.00.

I see a lot more sell at 99 cents to maybe $3. I wouldn't get too excited - the beanie bubble burst years ago.

Wow, thanks for that. Yeah, I saw an offer for $0.50. So I was TOTALLY confused!

I don't know really what's up with those weirdly priced beanies, either aspirational pricing or money laundering or what.

You can thank all those get rich selling your Beanie Baby videos on YouTube for that.

If any sell, they only sell for a few dollars.

You can always run a search here on eBay, however if they're charging that much, then they're over charging as they are worth very little, if anything any more.  The Beanie Baby hype is long gone.

Good luck!

Hi @tdc366 and welcome! Below is a link on how to get started if you wish to sell on eBay. 

Even though it’s likely your beanie baby moose may not be valuable, if it were i’d caution you. 

When helping loved ones start out on eBay, my first advice to them is to not list high-dollar goods right off the bat. There is substantial risk one must navigate in online selling. eBay policies favor the buyer, and their Money Back Guarantee can be used by the unscrupulous to defraud a seller. Better to get some experience first so you’re prepared to take on the risk. Scammers often target new sellers with expensive items.

Have you ever bought something on eBay? If not, buying a few inexpensive things you need is a good introduction to how the platform works. (It also builds up some feedback that helps signal the scam artist to move along to easier prey.) 

Whatever you decide, wish you much success.

Why sell it for $10,000 when you can get $30,000 for it. I was debating whether to buy a car or (Chocolate the Moose).

@tdc366, I'm really sorry, but the average selling price over the past year was only $10.21.

Beanie Babies was a scam operation, set up by the manufacturer Ty Warner, to hoodwink naive and gullible "investors" into believing that those little stuffed toys were "instant collectibles" and "rare."

Big reveal:  They're not.

Ty Warner became a multi-millionaire by hoodwinking a huge segment of the American public.

Don't believe me?  Check out this article from the History Channel --

I was at Hartville Ohio flea market on Labor Day. A vendor with large bins of Beanie Babies priced at a dollar each toy, no one was really looking and digging thru, and I didn't either. The only thing I will never buy is a Beanie.

I would rather spend my time more profitably, perhaps while watching paint dry or bananas ripening. . ..
