Hey guys! Does anyone still collect beanie babies?? I'm making auction baskets for an event @ my mom's organization and found a whole box of RETIRED '96-'00 beanie babies in mint condition, most w/ tag protectors! I couldn't believe it. I know they use to sell for a ton, although I'm pretty sure they've devaluated a lot over the years. *sigh* It's so sad, really... they're perfect! If anyone collects and might be interested in buying one or a few, PM me- I have a whole list! The money would go right to the American Cancer Society (via FL keys unit fundraiser). If not, I'll probably stick em in baskets with other things, since I don't have the patience to deal w/ ebay for only a few $. I can't believe it really - I remember when they use to go for a fortune! Oh well! Thanks! Carly PS. If you know anywhere where beanie babies DO sell well still, please fill me in!

My MIL collected them. She has so many! The only ones I have are from McD's happy meals. Good luck at selling them, I hope tons of money is raised.

I used to collect them. I sold off about half of my lot on ebay and got about $150 for it in total. But, I know that the older first gen. ones still go for a decent amount on ebay. If you happen to have Humphey, Bronty, Rex, Steg, Any of the Old Face Teddies, Nip-all gold...and there are a few more that I can't think of off the top of my head, I know you can still get a good amount for them.
Unfortunately, I don't know any other places besides ebay where they still sell somewhat well.

Unfortunately, I've looked up the ones I have on ebay and they mostly go for $1-10 ... Hardly enough to make it worthwhile! Still, I'm working on it! Thanks for the good wishes, E! I hope they sell well too! If I can't sell them there, I'll include them with the gift baskets I'm making. Still, it's such a shame. I'd much prefer to sell them to (a) collector(s). Oh well.
