Beanie Babies Worth Money on eBay? Can You Get Thousands for Them?

[@laurieanderson4878]

I agree, unfortunately I too am stuck with a few hundred of these still! After 2 cross country moves I am still trying to unload these. I did look into the charity route. I was living in Las Vegas and moving back to NY. I called my local hospital and asked if I could donate these for the children. They had been stored in zip lock bags, and I even went to the trouble of buying cute little bags and tied them in curly ribbon. The hospital said they could not take them because they needed to be germ free. So only things that could be accepted were toys that could be disinfected. So I donated them to a Women's and Children's shelter. They were thrilled to have them. With my remaining ones I think I will donate to special needs kids and shelters as well. It's a great feeling to know you are making some little child happy! Thanks for the video!

[@KayceeBoo]

Laurie Anderson I’ll take them 😄 we love ours lol

[@ajthegoat75]

I love my beanie babies I have quite a few, even lots of tiny babies. My son was diagnosed with brain cancer I like your idea of giving them to sick children. Thanks for sharing.

[@juliaclary2710]

Thank you! I give them to my class each year for Christmas. The kids love them! I encourage others to donate to places who can share them with kids!

[@marieschneider2813]

Yea that’s what my mom said thousand dollar beanie babies are fake! they are just toys

[@1977mandyo]

I checked it the princess Diana Beanie Babies and you are right to a extent if the bear says it is made with pe pellets then it isn't worth much maybe 26 bucks but if it says p v c pellets then it is worth more mainly because the p v c ones were stopped production because p v c was toxic.

amanda oliver BC.

[@tonyderoide4072]

amanda oliver scary most of my ty's have pvc pellets

[@BartholomewCounty]

I buy them for less than one dollar each and will list them for $5.00 beginning bid each or best offer.

[@livingthefarmlife5794]

I have peace and when I saw what it was going for I thought it was to good to be true! And it is😤😡

[@edsullivan12]

I buy and re-sell beanies everyday. I don't expect to get rich off of one beanie, but I make enough money for this to be a stable and reliable source of income. You'll be fine if you do as the lady in the video suggests: a little at a time. It quickly adds up over the course of just one week.

[@CrazyMommy87]

I am still going to try to sell the ones I have acquired over the years, I have I had them for so long. Who knows - might get lucky :)

[@nancyfiore795]

But can you determine which beanie babies actually do have value,if any??Thanks,nf

[@SuzanneAWells]

Yes, with research

[@glyndablackledge4810]

I collected 800 Beanie Babies from 1995 to 1999, still holding on to them, did donate some before moving to Wisconsin. 😊

[@kalsylvaniareseller7567]

Newly subscribed to you also and new youtuber...I've got a got a year under my belt as a reseller!! Good video just found a tote of beany babies (storage unit auction) and thought they were worth money!

[@nancyhulfachor2384]

Great video! You explain things in an organized and logical way! Thanks for the information.

[@bobbicurtis4824]

Really glad I run up on this because I haven't disposed of or donated a beanie baby in y-e-a-r-s holding onto some sliver of hope that maybe one of mine could very well be, just the one that happens to be sought after by some prince or sheikh somewhere just waiting to pay me a grand needed for retirement sum as soon as I decide to list it... Lol. But seriously I do have around 35 maybe even 45 some still in plastic, my question is, would it be worth anything worth 50+ for the total lot or should I just abandon the whole ideal.

[@SuzanneAWells]

Hi Bobbi, the best way to find out is to study completed listings on Terapeak. Good luck! 🧸

[@starrykitties]

I have the peace bear, and I looked it up. It only goes from 5-50 dollars so it's not a get rich fast thing. But I guess I need to hold on to it til I get older

[@Veronica_revolver]

Tuff-Rubies does your peace bear have errors on the tag? Like is "original" spelled like "origiinal"?

[@nancymckay-russell9819]

Tried selling some hard market and people always want to low ball you on the lots of these.Errrr

[@anitas952]

Thanks for the video. I had a potential client for consignment contact me and felt his princess Diana beanie baby was worth over a thousand dollars. I did not pick up the consignment because I saw the numbers over the map.

[@user-rp6bn8qt1b]

Thank you for your honesty! Great information!

[@TheCptJackie]

I think you can get a good price for an Indonesian Peace bear, I have seen them fetch £70.00. But you're right, there are none worth thousands of pounds. And the tag mis-spellings don't make them more valuable either. Sometimes the date of birth is not the same as the date the copyright was published, and people think this is an "error", but it's not, they are ALL like this. I got interested in them because I kind of like them but I have never made a profit on one when I have sold them, I usually make a loss. So now I sell other bears like Merrythought ones or anything genuinely rare or limited edition. Thank you for your video, it helps to burst the bubble. The only person who made any money from beanie babies is Ty Warner. I think he made £5 billion. I personally think he should refund everybody. We are all left with a cupboard full of very pretty dusters.

[@eolaeden1228]

There are several beanies worth several hundred dollars, just have to know what to look for.

[@mandychilders608]

I have a ton and some of them in cases how do I find out?

[@jeantomasovic7403]

Thank you so much for your information your videos awesome here I thought yes I had money thinking I could buy a new car LOL I appreciate your time that you took to tell everybody about the hype wishing you a happy New Year

[@mrs_d3n1mx28]

Agree w everything you said. it just makes me wonder, how did those darn articles get written and published without an editor or fact checker figuring out the difference between a sellers "asking price" (on an active listing) vs the supposed "sold" price (on completed listings). years ago BuzzFeed published (yet another) embarrassing article along the lines of "Top 10 Vintage Toys from your Childhood That Sell For Hundreds on eBay" (can't link right now but it's easy to Google). it was like a textbook example of how misinformation gets spread and sensationalized and becomes folklore until, finally, someone learns the truth and is bummed that theyve been hoarding all this old junk for the last 15 years and it's worth practically nothing. so I have to wonder 1) are these articles being written with inaccurate info on purpose? (fake news is NOT a new thing!) 2) or are these editors just fucking incompetent? and 3) when beanie babies were first released, why did ppl believe they should hoard them for selling them in the future? I clearly remember that being part of their appeal, so I sounds like the manufacturers made up this whole "they'll be worth millions in 15 yrs" bullshit. fake news, or just typical PR shenanigans? 4) money laundering through eBay has been happening for a long time, although it's just now being widely reported (and tied to intl terrorism, but I think it's more likely related to the US drug war) sorry to rant. great video, keep up the good work!!

[@erikamartinez1223]

i can't find out about this ty. its a cat with with a hat and a red bandana and a rope on the left paw.the tush tag is black and white but I've searched everywhere but can't even find out the name

[@greenerpastures1000]

Unfortunately, Snopes is not a reliable source, although I agree that Beanie Babies are not valuable. Great video!

[@keylimekisses]

Agreed! Forbes and other top publications have done fact checking articles on Snopes and the likes and the facts are no better than the fact checkers who were hired they don't have a format they follow and it can be very biased depending on who is doing the story and what the story is about. I agree beanies most likely are not going to land you in the middle of a gold mine with just one or two but if you have a lot of them they can do just as well as other stuff people put on ebay.

[@constancebrosnan3013]

yep I did they are trying to sell them on Etsy also

[@joanmcdougal5324]

I have a beanie baby year 2000 is it worth anything?.

[@SuzanneAWells]

What does your research show?

[@tinacozza5914]

My dad passed I have everyone big an small beanies ty an the ones from MC donalds

[@NikkiGregory]

I'm just trying to get a little extra for gas money.

[@pamvoge3412]

I ha e about 15 hundred bears love them all I would never sell them ever there like my children

[@LadyHalfling]

Actual paid for Diana Beanies go for 5 to 25 dollar. That's fine for a small profit. Not get rich quick.

[@robreichardt949]

How can you be so sure about the money laundering part on eBay

[@SuzanneAWells]

Because it is a fact.

[@raynewilcox5917]

Do you think that fake auctions go into other niches? For example high priced diamond jewelry? I have noticed very high priced items that may be fakes? Appreciate you're videos. Have a nice day!😊

[@DonnaBailey-j1e]

I have all except the crab I really want to sail them

[@berthad4486]

I have 200 beanie babies. Not sure what to ask for them. I started out with records. my biggest thing is what to ship things in.

[@SuzanneAWells]

Search completed listings. Figure out shipping before you list. These videos will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p162douNa9WZfMk

[@Anteroization]

interesting research, never got into the fad of buying then, maybe the day they turn a 100 years old, some of then will have value as nostalgia antiques toys ????? but none of who lived the era will be alive.

[@cynthiaparker6901]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@racheld3771]

Lol i think back to the 1990's when people where taking their savings to buy older beanie babys...just wonder if they ever broke even...and or if they basically blew that money.

[@FeatheryBird]

Great voice very enjoyable to listen to!

[@narpiesgallo9810]
