does anyone collect Beanie Babies?

[palabeco]

I have 2 full sets of Mcdonalds' beanie babies, still in the packages. Are they worth anything?

I got plenty that I would love to sell also.All of mine are probably 10 years old.

Unfortunately, I don't think so....i heard that places won't even buy the McDonald's ones.

I also have about 50 with tags if anyone's looking for something specific. Let me know. lol Remember the CRAZE over these things??? LOL! Everyone was buying them like mad and thinking they would be worth something some day. Of course, I'll get rid of mine now and in 10 years, they'll be worth BIG money...watch! That'd just be my luck!!!

lol

:| not everybody

i always thought why would anybody buy those things for so much money

But then again I do have a baseball card and comic-book collection that are both are in binders and even organized while they sit gathering dust in a closet somewhere.

So I guess everyone has their own thing

The only babies at my house that still have their tags are my dragons. And that's because the kids were not allowed to play with my toys

Their babies have been loved on and played with until they are filthy and tagless!

Thats ok, my kids can inherit them, and maybe when they are iin their forties, they will be worth something.

OMG I was a huge collector back in the day...I have all the mcdonald ones in containers and TONS of beanies' I can't bring myself to sell them even tho hubby begs me to sell them. lol They won't hardly go for 75 cents at a rummage sale anymore. I would rather keep them then let them go for that!

I don't collect beanie babies, bu I collect My Little Ponies from the 1980's!

My collection is still small because I haven't had any extra spending cash in months, but I'm hoping to get it going again soon!

I used to have a ton of beanie babies, but most were well played with. But I have the Princess Diana purple bear one in a case with her perfect tag still on, and same with... I can't remember his name, its a green bear. Haven't looked at it in ages.

Oh and I have a complete Spice Girl doll set in the box still that I'm hoping will be worth something when I'm old!
