Are beenie babies not worth as much as they were a few years ago??

Question

Like Peanuts the royal blue elephant i see one site saying its worth thousands and one saying like five bucks

Answer 1

Beanie Babies 10 years ago were sold out everywhere with people waiting in lines and calling ahead and giving store employees $ to call them when they came in.

Now as time passes, hard to get ones are being counterfeited and no one is monitoring these as closely as before. No one wants a fake one from China. Some prices remain strong and have not gone down at all like the hummingbird.

Answer 2

Yeah, they lost their value in the last few years.  Economy isn't allowing people to spend thousands on a Beanie Baby, they have to put gas in the car.
