Beanie babies

[Tiggeroo]

Does anybody still have these laying around. I have a pillow case in my closet full of them. I can't get rid of them. They are ones I really like. Classic disney princess di etc. But it's ridiculous. I don't have anything to do with them.

 

[low-key]

lol, I got bunch tucked away in the basement, I assume there still in decent shape. You say you want to buy them ?

 

[Meriweather]

Only Disney ones.....probably 300 or so of them. In plastic bins since we moved. Haven't found a place for them in this house yet.

They make Disney beanie babies? I had no idea.

I have two or three Beanie Baby pandas lying around. I collected panda plush when I was younger, got up to about eight or so and three of them were Beanie Babies. I remember I could not believe they actually had different types of pandas with different names instead of making just one panda.

We have a couple hundred of them, but one of my children plays with them still ALL the time. He will put them away for weeks and then bring out the bins and out they come. I'll probably have them forever. I remember the craze in buying them---bought Clubby when you could only buy one per customer. Someone offered me $50 to buy one of the Clubbies and I turned them down because I thought they would be worth more later! What a joke! But they bring back good memories of driving around hunting for certain ones for the kids.

I bought them hoping they would help pay for my daughter's college. And yes, I still have them.

I have a bunch of them in a Rubbermaid container in the guest room closet. I keep the Siamese cat ones sitting out because I have a Siamese cat. The rest of them are in that closet. I have a bunch of cool ones, like the Princess Bear, and various animals. I even have a bunch of the "Teenie Beanies" from McDonalds, I remember people would about fight over those.

 

[s____!]

I'm now glad my mom didn't let me get as many Beanie Babies as I wanted back when they were popular. I would have gotten every single one if I could have. I was obsessed. I only had maybe 10, and they're now either given to my nephew or at Goodwill.

When DD got out of the beanie baby phase, she selected a few that she or I liked. Then we tried to sell them at a yard sale. What didn't sell we took the rest to the Shaddaii Shrine Temple. They then take them to Shriners' Hospitals for the children there.

When we moved from VA to FL we found they mad good packing material for the boxes we packed ourselves.

 

[Rora]

Oh heck yes! DH and I bought have two huge bins full. We love them and will give them to our kids.

I know they'll never be valuable but I'm saving them for sentimental reasons.

We found the same thing when we relocated about 6years ago to our current house. Most of my daughter's beanie babies are still out in the shed with boxes that we never unpacked. She did pick out some favorites and still has those in her room.

I had a lot (mostly bears) but got rid of them (except for a few that i really liked) at the flea market years ago when they were still somewhat selling, a guy from the city bought all.

Eventually i even got rid of the ones i had originally kept except for the Winnie the Pooh rip off and one that says I Love Florida on his chest.

 

[RachaelA]

Sell the Princess Di one. I think its worth enough to be worth selling!

I think my mom threw out most of ours.

 

[hercamore]

We have many, but i put them in the boxes for operation xmas child each year now.

I also have an 18 m o grandson who will start playing with them at some point i hope.

 

[Planogirl]

I have some of the bears and a few of the Disney ones left including the Alice in Wonderland series. I almost sold the Alice set but then caved and kept them. Stupid decision.

I still think that they're cute and don't have the heart to toss them. DS was little at the time and we had so much fun trying to collect the silly things. It's a shame that Ty basically destroyed the popularity even though it was way over the top.

 

[Skatermom23]

I have tons of Beanies! I won't get rid of them because they bring back so many memories of when the kids were little and we would hunt them down! I STILL buy all the new bears that come out and have a huge wall display of them! It is conversation piece, for sure..

As a child of the 90s, I have zilions (plus with a couple of Furbies in there as well XDD). My aunt would bring two everytime she visited us (which was quite often)

They are now in two large tubs down in the basement.

Furbabies always scared me a little so I'm glad that we never bought those.

I wonder what will happen to the millions of Beanie Babies that people have stored?

We have a couple hunderd of them in bins in the garage. My sister has two curio cabinets filled with them. She probably has 400 or more. She has some of the very first ones. Amazing collection...if only they were worth anything!
