Sometimes even ebay can be funny |
"Let me begin by explaining some very important details, this way I
do not get 100's of silly emails asking me to photograph the hind end
of some stuffed animals. I DO NOT KNOW crap about these things. This
belonged to my ex-wife who had about a 1000 of these Beanie Babies
and when she moved, this one box of these got left behind, and now I
am selling the goofy little things. Whatever money I make from them
will be spent at the local Home Depot on tools and other cool stuff.
I do not know which of these babies is retired or new, or whatever. I
will list them in no particular order. I will tell you what its name
is on the tag, if it has a plastic box or something. All these
critter have been stored indoors, and are from a non-smoking home.
Again, please do not send me emails asking me to photograp this or
that. I am starting the auction at $10.00 and at that price I figure
you all can take a chance. I understand from a friends wife that
people are afraid to get fakes. FAKES? Fake plush toys? I was amazed.
I thought people forged money, not childrens toys. Well I can only
say, that 99% of these goofy toys were bought with my money, from
eiter the local Hallmark Store, or one of the dozen or so Southern
Craft/ collectibles stores I had to go to on a weekly basis buying
these ridiculos toys years ago. Happy Bidding! Please take these
critters from me so I can buy tools.
Final Notice and Disclaimer: I know nothing about these stuffed
Beanie Babies. I offer no proof of anything. It is a stuffed animal,
get over it! I don't think my ex-wife was in the Black Market Beanie
Trade..but then again, I didn't know she was having an affair either!
Thus no gauruntees! All have theior little Heart Shaped tags on their
ears"
"A very kind Ebayer wrote me an email and said the following:The
valuable beanies here are Steg (dinosaur), Humphrey(camel), web
(spider) and peanut (elephant). They are worth considerably more if
they have the red heart hang tags and if the tags are in good shape -
no creases or tears. If you wouldn't mind giving me more info on
those. Also, if you added more info to the auction I'm sure you could
get more $$ for your tools!
To answer her question: I looked and to the best of my looking at
them all. None of the ones she mentioned have any torn tags or
creased tags. In fact NONE of the little critters have messed up
tags. People have been telling me these critters are worth alot of
money. I know nothing about them, and told you everything you need to
know up in the description. I make no claims on value, and to be
honest. I am amazed anyine pays more then a dollar a piece for these
things. What happened to collecting STAMPS? Pay what you want for
them! IT ALL GOES TO HOMEDEPOT !!!!!! and BEER! "
"Okay all you people with nothing better to do! ENOUGH WITH THE
EMAILS! I thought I was clear with all that. Here is an Email that I
just got from some lady who felt she will try to save my sould or
something! Read Below:
'Very clever listing; however it is very likely you have some fakes
(counterfeits) among the listing and I suggest you pull them from the
auctions until you have them authenticated. Humphrey the camel is an
example. It is a requirement of eBay as well as unde the provisions
of the U.S. Criminal Cpode that a seller know the authenticity of a
trademarked item s/he is selling. Also, an authenticated rare beanie
will bring lots of money on the auctions. I'll let you know the
others that are likely fakes, and further it is very unlikely your ex
would have left behind these rare ones. If she had 1000 beanies, she
knew what she had and their value. To sell counterfeits of a
trademarked item wold make you a common criminal. Are you being
honest? If so, cancel the auction, relist the common beanies, and
send the rest for authentication. It would be well worth it
financially and would make you honest. Taisha"
WELL TAISHA! I don't CARE! I told everyone in the begining everything
I know and don't know about these STUPID animals! I ahve an idea for
all people that are so worried about this.....DON't BID! I dont care!
I am so upset that this clown of a woman figured out my SUPER PLAN TO
SCAM MILLIONS FROM THE UNKNOWING BEANIE WORLD! I FIGURED I WOULD
RETIRE FROM THIS RUSE! What a dolt she is! I have blocked her from my
bidder list, that way she can cry about it. Some people are UNREAL!
GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

$860 for "toys" he can get $5,000 or more for? I wouldn't consider
that a bad deal. Even at yard sales around here they go for at least
$1.00.
