I’ll buy one when it’s marked down.......as a chew toy for my neighbor’s rottweiler.

As a former Beanie junkie, I call Beanie Babies the 'Emperor With No Clothes' collection. When the hype is over, all that's left is a bag of beans.

Beanie Baby speculators are back.

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.

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.
