I have about 50 ty beanie babies/buddies and other soft toys, and was just wondering if there was anywhere that would take them as a job lot as I dont really want to go down the ebay route as it would take forever and there are tons on there already?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicola.

    They are virtually worthless now. The hype over beanie babies died about seven years ago. My friend recently bought 100 for £20.

    Funny we have about 100 and can not get rid of them either.

    A few years back I paid a lot of money for them, went to America looked there, Spain, Italy, too.

    But we where looking into selling them and they are about worthless. I was told that I would never even get face value back, so back in the cupboard for another few years.

    Same here, I now take a few every time I go to a car boot. I rarely sell any but when I do I get about £1 for 3.

    I just wouldn't sell them for that money.

    I will keep them until I have a grandchild and then they can pass them on etc etc.

    Keep hem in the family.Lol
