Where can I find a free Ty Beanie Baby pricing guide on line?

Question

I'm interested in selling my Ty Beanie Babies. I know that some retired ones are worth a lot! I want to find a guide that is up to date and reliable.

Hi julieheart,

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 Price guides are out of date and over inflate.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, the first item on the  list at http://members.tripod.com/~TEXAS1/PRICE-... is Ally for $35-50.  Ally goes on ebay regularly in mint condition for $2.  Not 30-50.  Two.

Good luck!
