Still have your Beanie Babies? These 20 can make you rich
If you collected Beanie Babies and kept them in pristine condition (little heart-shaped tags still attached; inside tiny clear plastic boxes where dirt and annoying little brothers couldn’t reach them) then you could be sitting on basically a winning lottery ticket. Congrats! Here are some of the priciest collectible Beanie Babies on the market (read: eBay) right now to help you get started on your new lucrative Beanie Baby reselling empire.
“Large” Wallace and his Squad
Current Price on eBay: $680,000.00
This rare large-sized “Wallace” and his friends, two regular-sized Wallaces and Cashew and Huggy will set an extremely enthusiastic collector back nearly $1M.
Princess Bear
Current Price on eBay: $675,000.00
The 1997 Princess Bear was dedicated to Princess Diana. And according this lucky, about-to-be-rich eBay seller she’s “undoubtedly the RAREST of all Beanies and Princess Bears!” Cool!
“Large” Ariel and 9″ friends, Issy, Ariel and Peanut
Current Price on eBay: $578,000.00
Ariel was reportedly introduced in 2000 as a tribute to a 7-year-old child who passed away following complications from AIDS. This large and regular-sized Ariel pair, along with Issy and Peanut, is up for eBay grabs for over half a million dollars.
15-inch Peace bear and 9-inch Peace, Ringo and Bones
Current Price on eBay: $358,000.00
This extra-large psychedelic Peace beanie baby will deliver extra-good vibes if you manage to sell him and his friends for the going rate of over $300,000.
Bubbles
Current Price on eBay: $176,000.00
Is there a cuter name than Bubbles? Is there anything cuter than earning over $100,000 — which is how much this guy is going for on eBay — for a retired stuffed fish? There is not.
Hippity
Current Price on eBay: $49,999.99
This Hippity is going for roughly a year of college tuition. Here is a video of how to appraise your Hippity plush.
Patti the Platypus
Current Price on eBay: $19,500.00
Apparently, magenta-colored Pattis are the most sought-after Patti because magenta is the first color she/he/it ever appeared in. The other colors are fuchsia, maroon and raspberry … which are pretty similar to magenta.
Blackie the Bear
Current Price on eBay: $49,999.00
This is one of those Beanie Babies whose value depends on what “generation” it’s from.
Valentino
Current Price on eBay: $42,299.00
The most expensive Valentino bears are the rare ones with the misspelled tags. Thanks for nothing, spell-check!
Claude the Crab
Current Price on eBay: $30,000.00
The only Beanie Baby reportedly with a poem dedicated to his name: “Claude the crab paints by the sea; A famous artist he hopes to be; But the tide came in and his paints fell; Now his art is on his shell!” Priceless, no?
Seaweed
Current Price on eBay: $30,000.00
This adorable otter boasts “four errors” — and that’s what makes it so valuable. Misspellings, tag inconsistencies and factory errors could mean big bucks for this seller.
Jake
Current Price on eBay: $19,000.00
More tag errors on this adorable duck means quite a big bill. Get it?
Hope
Current Price on eBay: $15,000.00
We can imagine the sellers of these rare Beabie Babies are doing a similar pose!
Britannia The Bear
Current Price on eBay: $13,995.00
This unopened rare find that was part of a McDonald’s partnership has, you guessed it, several errors on its tag and box that make it worth over $10,000.
Halo
Current Price on eBay: $13,500.00
If you have a Halo bear like this one, which has “a rare white star instead of the yellow star!” then maybe you can earn $13,500, too.
Pouch
Current Price on eBay: $10,000.00
A good chunk of change could be in that pouch.
Holiday Teddy
Current Price on eBay: $10,000.00
This pre-owned holiday bear has tag and “tush tag” errors.
Snort
Current Price on eBay: $7,500.00
Another rare plush with errors.
Gobbles
Current Price on eBay: $6,667.00
Have a happy Thanksgiving by selling Gobbles and booking a nice beach vacation instead of a turkey dinner.
Spangle
Current Price on eBay: $1,289.99
While this bear may not enable you to get that sportscar you’ve always dreamed of, it’s still worth a pretty patriotic penny!

More than 2,000 rescues — and the year isn’t over yet. Santa Clemente lifeguards are keeping a close eye on the Pacific as they prepare for potentially stronger surf and bigger waves this winter. From Tower Zero, lifeguards monitor the entire beach and use cameras to spot trouble in the water. One of their biggest concerns? Rip currents, which can pull swimmers far from shore. With more rescues already this year than all of last year, lifeguards say the key is simple: be ready before someone needs help. #SanClemente #Lifeguards #OceanSafety #RipCurrents #BeachSafety SurfSafety SouthernCalifornia PacificOcean NBCPalmSprings
