Vintage Trifari is a good thing to look out for. Looks like one of these necklaces sold recently for $72 but too bad the matching earrings weren't there. Necklace/earring sets could go as high as $300+.

What are the other earrings? I'm guessing the green ones are Hong Kong?

The green earrings are West Germany and the orange earrings are made by HAR.

Ok, I figured out the beanie babies. The rare ones are made of PVC pellets, not PE pellets

The purple beanie baby is the Lady Di commemorative they did when she got snuffed by the Queen.

But there are plenty made with PVC pellets that are not rare so don’t let that fool you. Just the princess Diana one made with PVC pellets is the rare one

I think I had a bear with a misspelled name on the tag in that batch I found. Still not sure if that means anything..feels like an urban legend like the Disney double diamond VHS tapes.

Western Germany has collectors but those earrings are very common place. Not as familar with HAR but they seem to sell decently and those are a nice design.

My favorite time of year. Easy $200-$300 every weekend. My neighbor was selling a bunch of basically new Travis Mathew and Peter Millar polos and pants. Bought all of them and they’re sold already on FB Marketplace

The purple bear and the lizard bring HIGH money still if it’s the right one. I don’t know how to tell them apart so I bought them as a gamble.


No they don’t. The eBay listings people see for thousands of $ never actually sell. Or when they do, they can be traced back to the seller or the sale is shown as never actually having been funded/completed. Nobody is actually paying HIGH money for any beanie babies.

The only ones that are worth money are the employee ones that they made very limited numbers of and a few very rare screw ups (tags/fabric). But even those might get you a couple hundred bucks at the most.

There are high dollar bears, just not what you see on eBay. The high dollar Princess bear sells for about $300

This is probably the highest Princess bear that actually sold on eBay. I’ve seen a few sell for this.
