    Why are some Beanie Babies worth more than others?
  • – Theo R., age 8, Rockford, Illinois Most Beanie Babies are not worth much money.
  • That’s because Beanie Babies are made in large enough quantities that anyone who wants one can get one.

Beanie bubble

    • Beanie Babies were launched in 1993 by a toy company called Ty.
    • As more and more people started looking for certain Beanie Babies – especially those Ty had produced only in very limited quantities – resale prices went up.
    • Some buyers believed collecting Beanie Babies was a great way to make money.
    • A bubble is when a lot of enthusiastic people buy a particular thing at prices that far exceed its true value.

Rarity makes a Beanie worth more

    • Today, only a tiny fraction of Beanie Babies are worth something.
    • Valuable Beanie Babies are simply the ones that are very rare.
    • For example, Pinchers the lobster was for a short time labeled as “Punchers.” To be worth money, rare Beanie Babies must also be in perfect condition.

Beanie Babies’ value is what people will pay

    • Just because someone lists their Patti the platypus for $11,000 doesn’t mean a buyer will come forward to pay that amount for it.
    • The best way to learn about the current value of something is to look at recent sales of items that are very similar.
    • Even if some Beanie Babies are worth a lot of money today, nobody knows if they will keep their value in the future.
    • The value of anything is what other people are willing to pay for it.
