Is Your Ty Beanie Worth $11,000? Full Time eBay Seller Shows How To Find Out

[@fbf223]

Thank you so much for making this video! My 90-year-old mother read an article in the Globe magazine and now think she’s sitting on a fortune of beanie babies. She was almost going to hire an appraiser for hundreds of dollars an hour. It’s heartbreaking to have to tell her that these aren’t really worth anything. But it’s so hard to convince someone of her generation that what she read in the globe magazine isn’t real. Thanks again for making and sharing this video!

[@TheRebelReseller]

This is why I made the video. Too many people were falling prey to the hype.

[@diggingdachshundfinds]

Always amazes me ebay can Vero in hours but can't fix all these bogus sellers. Great video!

[@the40yogamer]

eBay doesn't stop it because they get a share of the money that's laundered

[@cole2404]

Thank you for talking about this. Crazy how strict THEY are on some things yet all these fake listings remain🤔

[@sachikotuttle2088]

I was always skeptical about those big prices ! I thought they might buy them themselves to fool us. And now you made it clear ! Thank you Rebel !

[@TheRebelReseller]

Glad I could help! Thanks!

[@Troyboy2121]

A zero-feedback person can be a new seller and not a scammer. A buddy of mine has a storage full of beanie babies, some rare. I have been trying to convince him to sell a few of the valuable items online. Until he establishes himself, he will have very few reviews, but he is certainly no scammer. All sellers start with zero reviews.

[@jeantom2680]

I am amazed of the time you give to other resellers to give us much needed information to help us be better at our own reselling. Thank you so much.

[@dccolorado7650]

Rebel, this was great! I had a tote of beanie babies and went about researching them. I figured out very quickly with the SOLDS with only 1 bid and no seller feedback that a scam was afoot on so many of these. Thank you for all you do for the reseller community :)

[@janicehaines1037]

How funny to see one of my sold listings in one of your videos! I can confirm the Ty Pluffies cat is legit and sells for good money, paid 99¢ for mine and it sold for $50

[@dhamm1000]

Same here, saw one of my solds in a different Rebel video! Kinda cool surprise lol

[@TheRebelReseller]

I love when this happens. Pluffies are my favorite Ty!

[@mimisoutlet]

Excellent video and topic. It's awesome to bust some myths. I did recently pick up a beanie for $10 that I think I can sell for $50. Time will tell, but if it turns out to be a total flop, my daughter really wants this stuffy (Canadians call them stuffies, lol) so it wouldn't be a total loss.

[@andriasinde6796]

Wow thank you ! I just inherited about 100 beenie babies. This helps so much !

[@sunflowerstatelifestylellc]

That was a great video, I never thought about looking at the bid history. I normally just look at sold comps. And as a 90s kid, I was sad to see ty don't have much of a resell. So I just kept mine and gave them to my kids. When I was a kid my mom had gotten so mad when I took the paper tags off, because she thought they would have a resell value. Thank you for the research ❤️

[@jtothet9693]

Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to inform people of this for a little over a year now. I just saw a Netflix series called “King of Collectibles” where they hilariously appraise a collection of beanie babies worth max $100 for $7000. It’s a shame the show didn’t do their due diligence and ended up embarrassing themselves.

[@avalondreaming1433]

I went to an estate sale where a man who had passed away had an entire room filled with beanies. I found it heartbreaking. He thought he would live to see his investment worth something and it never happened.

[@TheRebelReseller]

Too many stories like these unfortunately.

[@heathergallagher2981]

Thank you for this educational video! I found 2 Claude the Crab Beanie Babies last night that I was kicking myself for not buying because when I checked comps when I got home, saw there were MANY in the $100’s. After watching this I went back and looked at MANY more closely, ALL BOGUS.

[@azcatz-sue]

The information is there if you take the time to learn. Too many are after a quick buck and get hurt emotionally and financially. Thanks for all you're doing!

[@mishaelmoody665]

Thanks so much for the heads up! I found a box of Ty from McDonald’s that I had stored. One comp sold was $2400, got kind of excited. My friend Jenna sent me this video. I’ll research now.

[@patriciaousley8343]

Thanks so much for all of your hard work. You help so many.

[@PixieDuster1234]

As an ebay buyer and seller I do not do any dealings with zero accounts.

[@pistolgrip6686]

Awesome video I recently ran into some really overhyped expensive Beanie Babies and your information really helped me sort things out

[@TheRebelReseller]

Glad I could help! Thanks!

[@JustJayne0]

My husband picked up a bunch of beanie babies for free. This is the problem l found when looking them up. Then I thought I need to see what Rebel has to say about these. The exact information I needed. Thanks so much.

[@MS-qb3cp]

Very important info for everyone who collects anything, not just beanies. Also, research values under " completed listings" not just " sold". Completed shows everything thats ended, whether it sold ( prices in green) or didnt sell ( prices in black) If you see a ton ofvsomething selling for a low price, but an occassional super high price..... more than likely those crazy high prices are fradulent.

[@TheRebelReseller]

Exactly! Thanks!

[@lizziefayelovesbooks]

Awesome video! My youngest has had that Pluffie puppy since she was a baby. It was her number one childhood toy. If she had ever lost it, we might would've been willing to pay that $129 price.

[@angiekelly2744]

Oh Rebel, I wish I would have seen this on Wednesday. I was bidding in online estate auction and they had about 30 listings of lots of 10 beanies babies per listing. I thought I knew better but then I saw what I thought surly must be rare ones, i spent around $337 after fees and I won 120 loose beanie babies all with tags on. I won 30 collectible smaller Beanie Babies on cards. I figure I spent about $2.95 per Beanie Baby when it was all said and done. I picked them up yesterday and I have many duplicates. I have 3 of the Princess Diana, 2 lambs, 1 Red Bull, cats, a bunch of dogs, 2 snakes & 2 ladybugs, a bunch of lizards, 5 Valentine bears, about 10 st. Patrick’s Day bears, about 6 Christmas characters, 2 ghosts, 1 spider. 2 Jack-o-lanterns, 6 uSA characters, fish and other sea creatures, the list goes on. I think I can at least make money back. I did have high hopes though. I should have known better!

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

You got some great ones.

[@Alex-bv7vd]

Great, informative video! I will have to say - as an eBay seller (and buyer): The high numerical value of the feedback score and a high positive feedback rating percentage (99%+) are great indicators of a reliable seller. Many high-dollar items don't sell on the first auction try, so relisting is not a reliable indicator of negative seller activity. Also, if the ended auction listing can no longer be found, it is almost always because the end date is more than 6 months ago and the eBay backlog has purged it. If an auction finishes with a legitimate winning bid, it will show ended/won with the amount. If an auction is "taken down" or unlisted by eBay, it will show as unsold or won't be viewable at all. I hope this helps!

[@TheRebelReseller]

You're welcome!

[@nunyabiznaz833]

I'm so glad I found this newer video on the topic. I haven't collected them fanatically, but I do have quite a few that I wanted to have to give to my grandkids down the line, but a few weeks ago my daughter texted me and told me she was out yard-saleing with her 4 year old. My grandchild wanted a beanie out of a bin of stuffed toys and my daughter bought it for a dollar. It was a Millennial bear, and when they got home My daughter looked at it closer and Millennial was spelled incorrectly. They looked it up and this was apparently a reported limited error version. They saw others listed on eBay but the 4 year old firmly claims it as hers. As her Mema, I'm taking her side!!

[@TheRebelReseller]

Many of the beanies that have errors are still not worth very much. Definitely check the solds and use the strategies I showed in this video to make sure they're legit sales.

[@emmaellymom1]

Another good one, thanks Dani🎃🎃🎃

[@OckwordProductions]

Appreciate this video. I just recently received some beanies 😊

[@BOLOBuddies]

Great job Rebel

[@vicki3132]

I was thinking of putting my set of 77 Ty’s given to owners of franchisee’s I’ve never sold on eBay. By her telling viewers that if there is no reviews then it is fake. I wouldn’t ever sell them unless I got what I’m expecting to get. The cardboard case fell apart. They are from the time that we were crazy busy and they were a gift from Ty for our incredible sells.

[@TheWackyGal]

awesome helpful video! I just wonder why do they do this? Go through all this trouble of creating a fake listing and fake accounts and having a fake bidding war? Are they just hoping some poor sucker will get caught up in the moment and overpay for it?

[@TheRebelReseller]

I have no idea but that sounds like something someone would try.

[@ivangies6314]

Thanks Rebel. I didn't think they were worth as much as you've sold some for. If I get 10 to 20 dollars on most Ty I would be happy!!

[@TheRebelReseller]

Me too! Love selling plush for $10 and up.

[@TheGrimmOwl-YT]

I swear the universe knew I needed this video. Just bought a TY Beanie for $1 at goodwill. Got home and looked it up and it's curly the bear with a bunch of errors on the tags. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I got excited thinking it may be worth a bunch.

[@fatgrandmafinds]

Very helpful video! With the few TY Beanie I've listed I put as much information as possible in the description to let people know what to look for.

[@allixcrader4966]

The 129$ jumbo Pluffies dog that you mentioned was not a legit sale was my listing, and was paid for with no issues. Feel free to contact further if you'd like more information about it, not sure why it came across as illegitimate on your end. Just want everyone to know that "Big Whiffer" is actually worth quite a bit, compared to small Whiffer, so don't leave him behind if you see him.

[@TheRebelReseller]

Well dang! Did you have another whiffer listed. I think I saw it and didn't double check that it was a different one. That was a nice sale!

[@allixcrader4966]

@@TheRebelReseller Yep, I pick up all Pluffies, so I have a couple small Whiffers left, but large Whiffer is about 12" to 14" rather than 8." Several Pluffies come in jumbo sizes, like the gray elephant as well, and can go for twice as much as the standard size!

[@The_moon_made_me_do_it]

My 80 year old mother and I just pulled out her 6 tubs full of beanie babies that she has been collecting and saving. She has 100s of them. She even has the larger ones matching the smaller ones. All of them were never played with, tags on, even the plastic sleeve on tag still in tact. Many of the rare ones she has in pristine condition. Where should we try to sell these? Would ours be considered legitimate? I am confused as to how people could NOT have legitimate ones.

[@TheRebelReseller]

Most beanie babies are only worth a few dollars. The Princess Diana one that people often think is worth a lot of money can be bought for less than $10. You'll see that some have supposedly sold for $10,000 on eBay, but nobody is really paying that much if it can be bought for less than $10.

[@davidmckenzie3139]

Hello on my hubbys account -I’m still going thru all your videos when I get time rebel - I will never have a beanie worth money my youngest who is 8 has had a thing for tags since she was little won’t have a tag on anything lol. Also watch out for high sales when it’s over because people like to send out info asking you to ship it to a different location- saying it’s a gift etc. always verify. My husband just sold something the other day (high dollar) and right away after it ended he received a scam text. Always double check everything have a great day

[@davidmckenzie3139]

I am someone that is trying to help my sister sell a few legit PVC pellets and a error beanie baby’s that she’s held onto for so many years. I never really sold anything on eBay and she hasn’t neither and want to open an account. We found out that a good amount of her collection can go for a lot. But after watching your video I feel like there won’t be a chance even if we try selling them for a low price to be fair. Even if we’re legit sellers we won’t have a chance because we need seller reviews.

[@TheRebelReseller]

There are very few beanies that are worth more than $100 and most are worth less than $10. As a new seller, you are going to have listing limits so I would not list things that might never sell, like the beanies. Focus on selling items that have a quick sell through rate so you can build your feedback.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't alert people to beware of legit and fake listings because you should, but a person like me, who recently just found 4 big containers of beanie babies that I use to collect in the 90s and am now looking to sell them, isn't going to have any feedback when they create a new eBay account.

[@TheRebelReseller]

You might want to sell some other stuff first and build up your feedback. If you watched the video, most beanies are NOT worth very much though.

[@BryanEnsign]

If someone has a box in storage and makes an ebay account to sell beanie babies that are rare and original, how do you not look like a scammer or fraud? I am asking becase my mother is about to do this soon. Is getting with a more established seller better for this?

[@TheRebelReseller]

The Princess Diana bears is an example. You can find fake sold comps for $15,000. Search for it on eBay, check the filter to only show items that have sold, then sort by lowest to highest. You will see that the ones that are supposedly rare aren't worth much. Search that way and you can see that it sells for a couple dollars. The high prices are not real sales.

[@RFazor]

I googled Beanie Baby’s and almost all of the articles say these toys cost thousands and they thousands … could this be true… or are they just click bait articles?
