Remember what it was like to be a kid? Well, I most certainly do. When I moved to my current location my parents handed over boxes of old toys and stuffed animals. It was then I discovered 2 plastic bins of Beanie Babies. That's right. A horrendous 90's fad.
Beanie Babies. I LOVED them. I loved searching for new ones. I loved buying "unique" ones that would be worth thousands of dollars some day. I loved the thrill of it all.
There was only one thing I didn't see coming... My Beanie Babies are now worth less than a bag of beans. It sounds sad, but it's very true.
Out of interest, my boyfriend and I went through my Beanie Babies. I pulled up an online value finder and looked up each animal. And I had a LOT.
Sadly, most of my beanies can now be sold for .50 or less. I was a little disheartened. But at the same time, it was fun to go through the bins and feel like a little kid again. So I'm gonna share a few of my favorites that I found.
Sparky the dalmation (the first beannie I ever got-- the one that started the craze!)
Hoot the owl-- isn't he cute?
Twigs the giraffe
Interestly enough-- this beanie is one of the newest ones I had. It is a guinea pig. But according to my sources, it is the most valuable one I have. It is worth $12. That's right. Read it and weep. 12. dollars. Can't beat that!
Seaweed the otter
Weenie the dachshund
