Beanie babies and pricing ?! :)

[grace-glam]

 Hello,

I recently started to sell some Ty beanies. I am noticing the difference between first  and second generation etc. 

What confuses me the most is some sell the beanie babies for a few hundred dollars or more and the same one could sell for like 8.00

Is it that people do not know the true value of the specific one or am I missing something ... 🙂

any feed back I woud  appreciate! 

Thank you

It is why I colect what I do.  Memories from my childhood.

LOL! Yes my Mom was the same way... Now we know we should have kept them!
I recently looked at the sold listings for things and seen some toys from the 80' that I had! Lol amazing that some are still in really good condition. Nice so glad you found that tinker toy! ☺☺
I should definitely start saving toys now!

[grace-glam]

Lol! I appreciate the offer, but I'm sure you would have sold or kept any of the collectable ones. ☺

Nice! What kind do you collect ?

I found a sock monkey kit at hobby lobby, If I am having a bad day, I take "unky mo" and get my blankey, makes it all better.

The Doctor says I am making good progress.

Here is a beanie baby price guide.  It should help a bit to know what is valuable.

As far as the peace beanie, that one is common.  But a similar looking one called Garcia commanded a high price.

OMG Yes! I have an original Garcia.  That was so much harder to find.

I have a few first generations with misspellings on the tag. 

All mine have a tag protector.  Some of them (Garcia, Diana) even have their own little cases.

My mom and I were collectors and I was proud of it lol.

Had  a whole bag full of the worthless ones...We did find them several homes tho.....on Halloween we gave the small kids a beanie baby and the older ones candy..The smiles were priceless.

Being the only person not confused at a yard sale, rummage store,  thrift store,  pawn shop,  estate sale,  swap meet etc is where the massive adrenalin rush is and the $$$$$ are.

This seems to be the definitive source of information on beanies:

If you do have  some of rare  Beanies  that may go at high price , Then Be carefull  Since  you are under 300 feedback  you  well be at high risk  as a target by the scam buyers !  

[grace-glam]

Oh wow!!! never knew that, thank you so much! 🙂

I will say from experience: don't expect to get much for most of them.  I've sold a couple for $2 each and I still have a bunch hanging around in my store.  There's not a huge demand for them unless you have rare ones.
