Beanie Babies

While wandering around Value Village the other day I turned the corner and at the end of the aisle was this large display of Beanie Babies.

Each one was selling for $3.00 to $5.00.

I didn't participate in the Beanie Baby rage and don't remember what they sold for when new. If any of you remember and can tell me, I'd appreciate it.

They are listed on E-bay for 99 cents. Of course, the mailing fee is $4.00. Apparently the only people who made real money on them are those who produced them in the first place.

Maybe they will be worth real money again 100 years from now. I'm sorry I won't be around to see that on the "Antiques Roadshow" program.
