Beanie Babies Keep or Sell?

[my4kids]

Generally you cannot judge old toys for antique value until after fifty years have passed. In the case of Beanie Babies, only the ones not given to children to play with have the chance of becoming valuable.

You might hang onto almost all of them and after your kids move into their first homes, give each kid a selection of Beanie Babies as collectibles.

Speaking as a child of a person who kept EVERYTHING (because it might be worth something one day)- do your future kids a favor and get rid of them. Anything that everyone else is collecting too will never be worth anything. It's the things that everyone throws out that will be worth something. (and even those things won't make you rich enough to be worth keeping that long) My mother kept Barbies from Early 60's on...since none of them are the original Barbie...the most expensive one is now worth about $30. That is what some of them sell for today. PURGE PURGE PURGE so that when your are old your kids won't have to for you.... When my dear Granny passed, her home was FULL to the brim with stuff that was collected along the way with her kids in mind.....you guessed it...we parked a dumpster in her front yard and out it all went...it was all stuff no one wanted to clutter their home with...no one wants your junk, they have their own junk to handle.

I'm a teacher and I give my BB's away as special awards. The kids really love them. So its a win win situation.

I remember my friend buying those. Gosh she bought hundreds and when Mcdonalds had the little ones in the happy meals. I bet she bought over 100 happy meals just to get the toys. I told her she was crazy and I was right..
