(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so recently I had to sell my whole Beanie baby Collection.
Don't judge me we all know you have one you just dare not admit it. (i'm looking at you Dopey)

Anyway I had so much trouble trying to find the value of each one that i generously decided to write a guide for all of you here so you can sell yours at any time.

Step 1
Check Ty's Web site (Ty.com) to determine if your Beanie Baby is retired. Ty's site lists all Beanies and their comparative values.

Step 2
Consult Beanie Baby collector's guides for another viewpoint or if you don't have access to the Internet.

Step 3
Check the Internet or a collector's guide to determine if a flaw on your Beanie Baby will lessen, or increase, its worth. (lessoned mine apparently beanies with no legs aren't worth anything) Go figure:confused:

Step 4
Write to Ty through its Web site if you can't find a price for your Beanie on the Web or in a collector's book.

Assessing Your Beanies

Step 1
Examine the tags on your retired or flawed dolls.

Step 2
Consider Beanies with perfectly preserved hang or tush tags and no factory defects to be in "mint" condition.

Step 3
Value Beanies with slightly bent tags at 80 percent to 90 percent of the top price. These Beanies are in "near-mint" condition.

Step 4
Give Beanies with creased tags - those in "excellent" condition - 65 percent to 75 percent of the maximum value.

Step 5
Price Beanies with missing tags at 45 percent to 60 percent of the optimum value. These Beanies are said to be in "very good" condition.

Step 6
Reduce the value of Beanies with worn fabric, tears, stains or missing parts - those that do not meet the "very good" standard - to 5 percent to 35 percent of the top price.

Warnings:


Beanies with manufacturer's errors, like missing tails or spots, are not assigned preset values, but they may be worth a lot of money..


Like i said I hope you find this guide useful.
And trust me now that i have got rid of all 30 of them i feel like a huge wieght as been lifted off me. I no longer have to hide them when the guys come over or save them when the dog invades my room looking for food.

I never really got into the beanie babies.. I had some friends who collected them. Nice guide. You can also find books that tell you values of your collection.

I have over 200. My madre has them stashed and would castrate me if I sold them.
