Did you make money off of Beanie Babies in the 1990's?

Asked by BarnacleBill (16138points) August 22nd, 2010

@Steve A’s question about researching companies for investment and my subsequent recommendation of A Random Walk Down Wall Street got me thinking about inflated values of Dutch tulip bulbs and the Beanie Baby fad of the 1990’s.

Somebody bought and sold a lot of Beanie Babies in the 1990’s. There were stories of people paying $500 for rare Beanie Babies to complete collections. My daughter had classmates whose mothers went off the deep end to find rare Beanie Babies.
Did you collect or sell Beanie Babies? If so, do you still have yours? Did you make money off of Beanie Babies?
