Paul Barretta, President of Talent Clearing House, stated, Whether artists are paid based on traditional royalty structure or one tied to profitability of releases, administration can pose quite a burden.
This may have been quite a bargain, as the most expensive beanie baby has been valued at a possible $5,000. Most recently, Ty Inc. announced Beanie Babies 2.0, combining successful elements of the original Beanie Babies and the more recent Ty Girlz dolls.
Below are some final sale prices in 2014 for Beanie Babies listed on eBay. The price list is in alphabetical order. Prices do not include shipping charges so keep that in mind. Most Beanie Babies are not worth very much money, but some 1st generation and other rare versions can fetch some decent coin. In order to know if you have a Beanie Baby worth money you have to 1st know what kind of tags you have. Again, very few Beanies are worth anything, so be ready for a letdown if you have some stashed away. Beanie Babies with 1st Generation Hang and Tush Tags can be valuable. These are rare and hard to come by.
