My granddaughter and I got a nice Beanie Baby, with tags, at a yard sale for $1 recently. I looked it up when I got home, and it has an error on the tag that makes it worth up $1200.00. A couple of the same sold on eBay for $7-12. I made the mistake of blurting out the high asking price to my granddaughter, and she has put it in a safe place and is sure she will sell it for $1200.00! I have high hopes for that girl lol

If you google rare Beanie Baby, you might get a list of the ones that have some value. They have to be original, in unused condition, with tags to get the highest prices. Have fun
