Who could have seen that coming, anyone old enough to remember Beanie Babies in the US, that’s who.
Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch Dolls. My Dad stood in line for hours to get a CPD for my little sister.
Yeah I was shaking my head back then too. The story itself is a bit puzzling too. The stuff sells out in a day and is then cancelled? I assume they had longer plans for it and cancelled that.
My son made out like a bandit on those, he sold at the right time. Knew what they were all worth, more than made back the purchase price of the whole pile, still had a bit bin of leftovers. He was maybe 10 or 11.
