Your feedback is welcome on this change. Prices continue to fall through February and then leveling off in March. Prices on selected styles such as Teddy rebounded some in March which may be a positive sign. I would repeat that much of the decline is due to prices rising too fast in too short a time late in 1997 and early 1998. The dates in the above table that are from the official BBOC information are in black, while estimated dates of release or retirement are in red.
Actual sales are highly subject to variation from stated price lists.
The prices listed above are based on what an individual might expect to receive, not what a typical retailer might list as a price. Auctions can be an excellent source for top selling price on Beanie Babies, however does not offer the set price that a classified listing or trading board. Buyers who spend many hours searching may often find prices well below the average price on our list. A seller with many of the same item will often sacrifice average price for greater sales. Always be wary of dealing with someone you don't know, as many have sent money never to see the merchandise.
