Beanie babies
 
Over the years ive amassed a load of these gorgeous creatures, but im not sure what i should do with them now that we are on the move. i have collections of bears, dogs, birds as well as other critters and fish.

Is it worth hanging on to them to sell in oz? As ive noticed on ebay in the uk they dont seem to sell for a vast amount of money these days.

I've got quite a lot of those too Mandy, think I'm just gonna charity them. There was only one limited edition one but I don't think it's worth much. Got emus and all sorts :D

i just feel reluctant to give them away as they are over 10 years worth of collections and cost me a fortune:o

Mandy have a look at the Oz ebay - erm not sure but think it would probably be this address www.ebay.com.au

Failing that try www.google.com.au and search for beanies on there :)
