Answer 1

,Hello so have you been collecting beanie  babies for long ,if you have 2 garbage bags full then check them out ,and see that they are not dirty or have holes , they might need to be aired out , you could try eBay and go on to sell them, check out the toy section and see if any are on sale, see  how much they are that will give you a Price, for the beanies if you don't want to do that  place a add in the trading paper, and put a price on the 2 bags like how many say $100. for the lot or price per beanie then you can find more toys and see if you can sell them as well good luck

Answer 2

At one point, I had over 200 ($1,000 or more that I paid for them) beanie babies.  Unfortunately, when I got older and didn't want them anymore, the market for them had almost disappeared and they were selling for $1.00 or less, if you could even sell them.  I sold some (50 or less) on eBay, but I only tried the ones that might be worth something.  I had an entire set of the Zodiac ones that sold for $20.00 and that was the best I got if you compare the price per beanie babie.  The rest of them I donated to the Akron Children's Hospital, who appreciated them.  You can try to sell them on eBay, but you are not going to make much.

Hi iamme713,

This question comes up a LOT. Many many people are hoping to get good value out of their beanie baby collection, and the market is saturated. Prices are at rock bottom. Oh, there are several that do sell for bigger dollar amounts, so you DO want to check yours, but most sell for under a buck.

The best place to find what they sell for is not a price guide. Price guides are out of date and over inflate.

Instead, look at ebay to see what people have actually paid for your collectibles. By looking at completed auctions, you will be able to determine what yours would sell for.

1. Log in

2. Do a search for the item.

3. Click the 'Completed Items' checkbox (this is why you needed to log in)

4. Click the 'Show Items' button.

Now you will see completed auctions. If the dollar amount is in red, then the item did not sell, and your item is worth less than the listed price. If green, then that shows the value that at least one person was willing to pay.

This method of determining value is SO much more accurate than any online price lists. Also, it lets you see the layout of the most successful (highest selling price) auctions, giving you hints on how you should construct your auction.

To illustrate how bad the price guides are, let's look at an item on the price list. Ally shows on this price guide ( http://members.tripod.com/~TEXAS1/PRICE-... ) for $35-50. Ally goes on ebay regularly in mint condition for $2. Not 30-50. Two.

Good luck!
