Where, oh where, have the little dogs gone? The little dog dolls, that is. Bo, a Beanie Baby version of Barack Obama’s new presidential pooch, has been disappearing from shelves within hours of his arrival in stores. He has also become eBay’s latest pet project, with purchasers seeking double the doll’s $4.99 retail price online minutes after they buy it through retail outlets.

These will be everywhere for fifty cents a year from now...speculators never learn.
I’ll buy one when it’s marked down.......as a chew toy for my neighbor’s rottweiler.

I thought Obambi was against consumerism.
I had a shop that sold Beanie Babies during the height of the craze. Many people were buying these as an investment. Pretty much worthless now. But then so is GM stock. Anybody who pays a premium for these BO Babies is a fool.

Two posts for 2 beanies.
The Beanie Baby scam is still going? I thought it died years ago. I wonder how those folks that bought these “collectibles” are feeling these days. Suckers. Chumps. “One born every minute”, etc.
I bet that they don’t even have real beans in them.

It’s just TY trying to prop up a declining market.
If they're made in China, they are probably filled with Melamine.
My take is, who other than a self absorbed SOB would name his dog based on his own initials. BO? Right, beacause scruffy, dino, and tiger are too common for the enlightened one.
