Beanie Babies Worth Money

Hi Mary!

I might have to double check the sale price of that Osito. Osito’s are little more rare than other beanies,but not in the $3,000 range. Many sales on eBay are a mistake or don’t ever get paid for. Looks like most Osito’s are worth less than $20.00, and there doesn’t appear to be anything special about the one that sold for $3K. Thanks for commenting! I’ll make a note on that page about the unusual price.

That’s a nice find. Here is some information on the original promotion: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Kmart+Offers+a+Sweetheart+Deal+for+Valentine%27s+Day-a020184825

“More than 40 different Beanie Babies varieties are included in the promotion. Each will be “hugging” a pedestal that displays a genuine 5-point diamond pendant. The round diamond is in a 10-karat yellow- and white-gold scalloped setting and hangs from an 18-inch link chain. “At $49.99, this is a sweetheart deal.”

And that is correct, Ty sued K-Mart and they had to stop selling them, shortly after they went on sale. It appears they were only on sale for a little over a week.

The 5-point diamond pendant on the 10K yellow/white gold chain has some monetary value. It probably depends a little on the quality of the diamond. It’s worth at bare minimum the value of the jewelry piece.

It’s hard to find one of those for sale. Back in October 2013 there might have been a couple listed on eBay for $35.00. I could only see the listing title which described it as a 10k diamond pendent with the beanie babie. I would think it’s worth somewhere in the range of $30-50. Which seems cheap considering they are very rare. If I find more information on these or find one for sale I will pass along the information.

Hello, There are several factors to determine the price of your Beanies.

A) I wouldn’t advise using a catalog. Those are typically out of date and usually reflect prices for Beanie Babies when they were popular. They are not mainstream popular anymore and the prices have tanked since the year 2000.

B) All the prices on this website are from completed sales on eBay. I don’t make up prices or take guesses. I get prices from eBay and even double check them to make sure they were legitimate sales.

C) All Beanie Babies Prices Depend on the Tags. A 1st Generation Bones the Dog is worth good money. A 5th Generation Bones the Dog is almost worthless. The only difference between the two are the tags. So you might see a “Bones” sell for $100 and another one sell for $0.99 cents. You have to know how the tags work in order to know the accurate pricing.

I can help you out if you know a little bit about which ones you might have. Sometimes just knowing what Tush Tag it has can unlock keys to knowing the value.

Hello Mary – great to hear from you again!

$1.50 seems like a real fair price. I often see them priced between $1.00-3.00 when I see them at antique or baseball card shows. If they keep selling really well, you could bump them to $2.00, but $1.50 is real fair.

Mystic – You are just one generation too late on the swing tag with Mystic. If you see any with a 3rd gen or lower swing tag, those are good. $1.50 bin 🙂

Chocolate 3rd/1st – You did well here. It’s in the $15-60+ range. Anytime you see a 1st generation tush tag or especially a 1st generation swing, you did pretty well. If you sell it in your shop. Minimum $10. The right person will see that is a good deal.

Pinchers – too late a generation for this pinchers. $1.50 bin 🙂

Valentino – I do see some interest in these. The one with the double tag errors is probably a tad bit more desirable. A little all over the map as far as pricing. Several have sold for $25-35. While some have sold in the $5-10 range. On eBay, sometimes there is a wide range of pricing, but they are worth a tad more then the $1.50 bin.

Bucky – that one is tough with the writing. If no writing, it might be in that $10-20 range. With the writing, bumps it down a bit. $1.50 would be a good deal on it, but you wouldn’t have to feel too bad about letting it go cheap.

Chocolate 3rd Tush – Once you get past the 2nd generation tush on Chocolate = no $. $1.50 bin 🙂

Hoot – kinda the same as the Bucky – with the swing tag – $10-15ish. Without it, $5 or less.

Let me know on the other ones you have! I enjoy hearing about which ones you get. Keep your eye out for anything with a 1st Gen Tush or Swing, and the 2nd Generation Swings can bring good $ too.

Hello Holly! The Peace Bear seems to be plagued with errors, is it the Tush Tag that says Curly? One with the two misspelled words with a Curly Tush Tag recently sold for around $30. It’s probably in that $15-30 range if it’s in decent condition.
