Sorry, Millennials – Your Beanie Babies Aren’t An Investment.
Ah, Beanie Babies! The plushie pyramid scheme of the ’90s.
Once hyped as the next big investment opportunity (move over, precious metals), these bean-filled critters were supposed to fetch a high price on the secondhand market.
Well, here we are, decades later, and those “collector’s items” are gathering dust in your mom’s basement.
While a rare few have fetched thousands of dollars at auction, most Beanie Babies aren’t worth any more than their original purchase price. In fact, some are worth less.
