Indeed :\

I'm going to soon dive into the complicated world of selling on eBay; as I heard some Beanie Babies are actually selling now, and since I'm doing nothing with mine (They've been stuffed in a plastic tub in my closet for about 10+ years), I'm going to see about selling them off to go toward my moving fund.

not a bad idea! don't forget to research condition and worth online, since collectors are going to be looking for the slightest flaws. :0


Steve's neighbors are rednecks. but even what they were doing didn't compare to my grandpa's neighbors, who are usually nondescript, quiet people.

>Be Town of Salem
>Ban Fireworks for Public Use
>Be Townsfolk
>Acquire Professional-Grade Fireworks
>Rebel Against Law by Setting Off Professional-Grade Fireworks in Backyard

the smoke at the end of the night hung so thick in the air it looked like some Silent Hill bullshit. i'm willing to bet that the fire department had to be called at least once, i'm not sure. (i called the cops on one of them, but i get the feeling the cops gave up hours prior.)

Wow .___.;

Also, indeed. I'll likely work more on that on my next day off; figuring out what's what, what condition they're in, and likely try to get them listed and ready to sell

Good luck on eBay, I would well research the Beanie Babies before hand that way more buyers can find the product and will drive the bid higher.

The laws of Minnesota are weird, you can't buy or sell proffesional-garde fireworks here, but you can own them and light them.
In Wisconsin you can buy and sell them but you can't light them off.
So if you're in Minnesota you have to go to Wisconsin to get the good stuff.
A lot of people think it's illegal but if the police were to do something about it half of the people in my nieghborhood would be arrested.

Indeed. I haven't really thought about Beanie Babies since the early '00s, so I'll have to do a lot of research to figure out what's up with them these days. Apparently, one of the snakes is supposed to be in high demand, and I think I have that one?

[Chocofreak13]

but does it still have the tag? it sucks that that kills the price most of the time. :\

[Nichi]

@Kari: Still has tag, yes, but isn't the one that's rare. In fact, going through mine, it seems most aren't worth much (Most seem to have their value peak at $5, with the laughable exception of Clubby, the bear you had to sign up for the Official Fan Club back in '98 to get; he's worth $1 on a good day). But, maybe I could make some money by selling them in themed lots; which might be the best way to clear them out.

The only real exception may be the Millennium Bear; which has misprinted tags (His name is misspelled as "Millenium"), and seems to fetch about $10-$15

[Chocofreak13]

that's good that at least you can get something, especially if they're not serving a purpose anymore. :0

@kodomo: i hope you can't be like that Maine guy who died by lighting fireworks off of his head yesterday. :\

You know what's worse than Jehovah's Witnesses on your doorstep?

An Army recruiter on the phone.

At least with the JW's you can duck behind the nearest large object and pretend no one is home until they lose interest and leave. It's harder to dodge somebody on the phone......

[Chocofreak13]

just tell them straight up that you're not interested. :0

[Bella]

I said I'd considered going into the Air Force or Navy in the past because they're more involved with computers & electronics hoping that would get her off my case, instead that invited her to tell me about all the rad things the Army's doing with computers these days. 

[stewartsage]

I've never had problems with a recruiter.  I ask very specific questions until they just go away.
