Now that is cool. The funniest thing was the woman claiming he was selling counterfeits. I know I couldn't tell a fake from a real one. I buy some for my kids to play with. The tags are the first thing that comes off.

Final Notice and Disclaimer: I know nothing about these stuffed Beanie Babies. I offer no proof of anything. It is a stuffed animal, get over it! I don't think my ex-wife was in the Black Market Beanie Trade..but then again, I didn't know she was having an affair either! Thus no gauruntees! All have theior little Heart Shaped tags on their ears.
/ROFL!

I hate collectors.
Anything truly worth collecting either is a useful item, or dirt ass cheap.
Things like stamps, coins, beanie babies, comics, art....just annoys me.
This man is very wise, dumped 26 miniature stuffed animals for $860 worth of power tools and beer. Good choice, he will get much more enjoyment from those.

Not worth collecting? Who the hell are you to say that? Anything a person wants to collect is worth collecting.

People have been telling me these critters are worth OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of money. I know nothing about them, and told you everything you need to know up in the description. I make no claims on value, and to be honest, I am amazed anyone pays more then a dollar a piece for these things. What happened to collecting STAMPS? Pay what you want for them! IT ALL GOES TO HOMEDEPOT !!!!!! and BEER!
694 positive and 4 neutral feedbacks can't be wrong

Ennia, nothing is worth collecting if you pay over the price it cost brand new. Like if you want to collect strange beer bottles, go for it. But don't pay $200 for a beer bottle, that's just stupid. Don't pay $5,000 for a $0.05 stamp, $500 for a $2 comic book, or $6,000 for a tiny stuffed animal.
Collecting shuold be a matter of finding a rare item to add to your collection, not a matter of how much money your willing to pay. What's the fun in buying it on eBay for a super inflated price? I mean how entertaining was that? Where is the thrill of the hunt? It's just turned into bragging rights at that point...and the entire concept of collecting will have been lost.
That's like watching sports on TV, it's against the whole reason people started that form of entertainment, the concept is completely lost. Sports were meant to be played, not meant to be watched by some fat dude from his couch.
I know that's not exactly the same way most people feel. But it's my take on it.
-----------------------------------
Guru, I'm not collecting really expensive Neons. First off it's a 20k car. 20k is a cheap car not an expensive one, and I am only buying one. Nice try though, better luck next time.

You can never be sure, I ordered a PS2 off of ebay over a month ago for $253 Canadian from a user with 1400 positive feedbacks with a 99.5% positive feedback ratio..
Well, turns out that month the user decided to scam about 50 people out of playstations, palm pilots, etc.. luckily Mastercard insurance is giving me all my money back since I have some proof of the user telling me it was shipped and expected arrival date.
Fraudulent bastards!

If you find someone who is willing to sell a copy of Action Comics #1, (1st superman appearance) thats not a reprint for 10 cents I will eat my hat. Anything that has value in collectables is all about supply vs demand.
