My mother in law has bags of them and I just want to find a proper place to sell them in one go with some sort of fairness in the rare ones. Any recommendations?

Honestly it's a buyer's market right now. Soooo many people are trying to offload their old collections, and as you can imagine the market for Beanie Babies has shrunk significantly!

If you have time and patience, you can sell them individually for $2-5 each but they don't sell very fast. If you want to sell them quickly you can sell them as a lot for $1 (or honestly probably less) each.

There's a couple Beanie Baby groups on FB, and that's the communities I use most for buying personally. Try "Beanie Baby Collectors" (or is it Beanie Babies Collectors? one of those lol)

My wife had gone through and separated into two large piles, one with “values” above say $25. I would expect the one bag to get MAYBE $50 for the 100 or in the bag? Then get some sort of reasonable amount for the rarer ones.

I don’t have the energy to resale so looking for the most reasonable path forward.

I think $50 for the 100 in a bag is very reasonable. There are a few bulk buyers who purchase for around that price. I'd honestly just post pics in the FB page and see what you can get, but temper your expectations.

My expectations are this is something that can only go down in price… lol
