Ty Warner, the creator of Beanie Babies, is all over the news. Warner was sentenced Tuesday, Jan. 14, to two years’ probation for tax evasion and had already paid millions in back taxes and civil fines. Meanwhile, what has happened to the price of Beanie Babies? These days, most old Beanie Babies are sold in “dump displays” at shows or in large lots at auction for about $5. The highest prices we’ve seen since the peak in the late 1990s is Peanut the Elephant, which auctioned for $3,000 in 2000. Don’t believe tales of six-figure prices. Online sellers may ask that much, but no one is buying. Let us know the highest sale price you’ve recently seen for a Beanie Baby.

Eeyore beanie baby from Disney World store 2004 approx. 7″ tall black stitched eyes and features. Body is slate blue RIBBED fabric … this seemed unusual. Pink bow on tail. Has sewn in Disney tag but not paper hang tag.
Have been unable to find a value listed for this paticular Eeyore…Thanks for your assistance….
I also have many including Mcdonalds in original bags.
A 1st edition Princess (auction #191031498612) sold on EBAY Jan 11, 2014 for $5000. There was also a 1st edition Princess and 1st edition Princess Buddy together(auction #331104587523) that sold for $10,000 on Jan 10, 2014. This is a little ridiculous if you ask me. I guess I need to find the old ones stored somewhere in this house! We all have our treasures I guess.
My daughter was so excited when she called me to say that the Princess Diana beanie baby was online for $300,000. However, checking further, none were selling, including those for only a few dollars! There actually were a number of six-figure prices.
I have just about all of the Beanie Babies with their tags still on in mint condition! I also have all of the Teenie Beanies from McDonalds still in their original packages never been opened. If I was to sell any of these – what would the right asking price be and where should I post? Thanks!
this is floating around on facebook lol
