A Beanie Baby is a stuffed animal, and made by Ty Warner Inc., which was later renamed as Ty Inc. Each toy has an inner "posable lining" and is stuffed with plastic pellets (or "beans") rather than stuffing (see PVC and PE), giving Beanie Babies a flexible feel.

The original nine Beanie Babies launched in 1993 were Legs the Frog, Squealer the Pig, Spot the Dog, Flash the Dolphin, Splash the Whale, Chocolate the Moose, Patti the Platypus, Brownie the Bear (later renamed "Cubbie") and Punchers the Lobster (later renamed "Pinchers").. The line became a phenomenon in the late 90s when Beanie Babies became both a fad and a collectible. Ty decided to stop making Beanies in 1999; however, consumer demand made Ty Warner change his mind. He continues to run Ty Inc. and design new Beanie Babies to this day.

Teenie Beanies, an offshoot of the Beanie Babies line, were made by additional manufacturers for a few McDonalds Happy Meal promotions.

Sociology of Beanie Babies

The phenomenon of Beanie Babies is an example of a product of popular culture. Based on the sales and revenue of this toy, Ty warner Inc. created an empire worth over $6 billion. In 1995, there was fear that this hot commodity was slowly losing interest to the general public. To their surprise, there was exponentially increasing demand for the product, resulting in a profit of $250 million in the following year, with substantial re-sale value in the secondary market. In 2008 they released a follow-up line, Beanie Babies 2.0.

Where could i sell my Beanie Baby and get the money i want?
Q. I have a 2nd generation Humphrey Beanie Baby. The site i wanted to sell him to is currently not buying. The price he's going for right now is $400 and i want to sell him for that much. Does anyone know where i could sell him at this price for? Thanks.

A. First make sure that you have an official Humphrey and not a counterfeit one. Some good information on this subject can be found at: also a good guide to make sure that your beanie is authentic is: Next, get your beanie authenticated so that you can prove that it is a real beanie baby and not a fake. You will have to pay a small amount of money to have your beanie authenticated but it's worth it on any beanie baby worth over $50. The best way to get your beanie baby authenticated is by visiting: Finally, know the value of your beanie baby. The value is determined by the condition of your beanie baby. A mint beanie baby has a mint hang tag with no rips, bends, or folds in it. Preferrably the hang tag has been stored in a tag… [cont.]

How much money can i make off of selling beanie baby's?

Asked by lproxx10 - Wed Jan 7 12:18:18 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi lproxx10, I am sorry to tell you that you cannot make much money selling beanie babies. There was a short time, many years ago, when there was a BB craze, and many of the oldest ones commanded huge prices. But that craze is gone, and the market is gone. Now most beanie babies sell for less than a dollar, with just a few of the rare ones selling for $2 up to $5. Oh, there are price guides that tell you many are worth hundred of dollars. But nobody pays those prices now. Price guides are always out of date and over inflate. There are a few fake ebay auctions now and then that run the price of a single auction to $1200.00. But I believe that this is just to try to scam someone out of money the 'next' time the same seller puts that… [cont.]
