where to get a ty beanie valued?

Options
i was browsing on ebay yesterday and happened to come across a princess diana beanie babies which was 256k i have checked it against mine today and it is identical so would really like to find out if i could get it valued.

it maybe that the person on ebay might be trying their luck but there does seem to be quite a few on there at quite a high price.

it would make my year if it came up with a value of 256k :)

i also have a box full of other ones so chances are some other's could be worth a bit of money to.

thanks

    I was intrigued by this and had a look. It seems that none of the high priced ones sell, so don't get too excited. A few sell for a fiver or so. The very, very few that sell for a bit more are the early version ones made in Indonesia. You can apparently tell which is which by the label etc etc - have a look at the listings, many of them give the relevant information on how to tell which is which. It will take you approx 15 minutes to work out the real value of yours.

    Or you can just list it for lots of 'k's, and have it not sell just like all the others.

    I also have a princess Di beanie that i have been thinking of Ebaying, and i really cannot understand why these people put them on at such ridiculous prices! it costs to list and they will never sell, even the ones that come from indonisia are not worth that much? there are several of each kind listed and do not seem to be selling for much more than £5/ £8, the one i have dosn't have a tag, i was thinking about putting it on £8.99 BIN & hopeing for the best!
    £200k would be so much nicer though!!! Good luck to you

  • ok thanks for the advice, i thought it was to good to be true but worth a try :P the one i have is the one made in indonesia so may be worth a bit and it has the tags intact but don't look like i can buy a bigger house on my profit just yet haha
