Beanie Babies? [View all]

My girls were born 9 years apart, and between the two of them I think we have an example of every Beanie Baby made. Most are in excellent shape.

Is there any value in these, or were they just an over-hyped stuffed toy?

I’m sure I could Google this, but I thought that I would bring the question to the DU experts.
