A friends mom was an obsessive collector, died, and left her with a ton of stuff.
Like probably a literal metric ton.
Boxes upon boxes of which are filled with Beanie Babies. I know we kinda missed the bubble on selling these things, but are any of them still actually worth anything? I'd rather not spend a day and a half looking on ebay for each and every one she has.
Edit: Alright, this is ridiculous. There are 8 Choo-Choo Pooh's, 6 Sleepy dwarfs, 7 Figments, and a few hundred of their little friends. This is beyond beanie babies that are probably past their prime. As far as I know, our options are eBay, craigslist, and an Ebay store *let them deal with this bullshit). ANy other suggestions on how to unload any of this?

They are unfortunately (for your friend) worth pretty much nothing.
Only option I can think would work, take them to a flea market and sell them for like 50 cents apiece.
I never understood people who collected those.
PS - don't actually have a bonfire... they are probably pretty toxic when burnt.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Apparently ducks without wings are valuable.
People buy some dumb shit.
This.
If you go this route, be sure to call the hospital first and see if they'll take them.
I know price guides exist, but realistically they're only worth what people pay for them, not what a book says. Thanks for checking up with your, um, sources.
We've talked about donating them to a children's hospital. The toys are essentially new. Like I said, this woman was a collector so everything has a little plastic tag cover. Once we go through the thousand+ small toys for anything worth money, that's probably where they'll go.
And hey, tax discount for my friend.
The image of this is quite possibly the most disturbing thing ever.
Do eet
Also, if we are looking for a show or convention to sell at (since you seem to have this kind of experience... I'm so sorry), are we looking for toy shows, stuffed animal shows, beanie baby conventions, or something else by name?
You really can get help on anything on these boards.
