hello
beanie baby friends i get this question
all the time
where can i sell my beanie babies
you know the market is still very
difficult for beanie babies
in 2020 there are many more sellers than
buyers
so you really need to work to sell your
beanie babies with any consistency
before i list off a bunch of places
where you could potentially
try and sell all your cute little tie
beanie babies
here are some general listing tips
that will work across all selling
platforms
first bit of advice for somebody who has
seen thousands upon thousands of ads
for people trying to sell beanie babies
take good pictures
think about you being a buyer do you
want to buy something
where the picture looks sketchy
well the location where you might have
to go pick this up doesn't look
appealing
take a look at this picture this person
advertising
some beanie babies on my facebook group
and i notice a blanket
and a pair of shoes more than i do the
beanie babies
here's another reason why people don't
sell beanie babies with a lot of success
especially on places like facebook offer
up craigslist
you don't spell out all the costs for
the buyer
a lot of times i would say 9 out of 10
ads
i see people that list beanie babies for
one to five dollars to ten dollars each
but don't spell out the shipping costs
it is not that difficult guys there are
several websites including
a government-owned website usps.com
pirate ship i could go on and on and on
and on and on
where you can get an accurate detailed
quote for shipping
here is one of the few ads in my
facebook group that i saw
that spelled out all the cost
for the buyer you get 23 beanie babies
for 38
and free shipping
do you go to amazon and order something
and not know how much it's going to cost
until after you order it of course not
all the cost should be spelled out for
the buyer
this is how you're going to have success
selling things online
now that you've gotten a couple tips to
hopefully sell your b2bs
let's get into some places where you can
list them for sale
in my opinion the easiest place to
create a listing is on facebook either
on the facebook marketplace which you'll
be able to find a tab for
if you are logged in and registered to
facebook you can take
some hopefully good pictures spell out
the shipping cost and the prices for the
buyer and list them on
your marketplace people within your area
or even out of your area can take a look
at your
listing you can also go to specific
facebook groups such as the one for love
my beanies we have over 20
000 members you can become a member
within the same day
and again same idea post your beanie
babies for sale with good pictures
good pricing and spelled out shipping
cost
so there are two ways on facebook you
can list in the marketplace
or go to specific groups such as the one
i own
and list them for sale there there are
many more options besides facebook to
sell your beanie babies
before i get into ebay amazon etsy etc
let's talk about some of the popular
selling apps that you may have already
used
on your smartphone device i'll give you
three
these could change year to year we'll
probably have to update this video
but for 2020
here are three that i've personally used
to either buy or sell beanie babies
offer up again take a good picture
spell out a shipping cost or a way where
these people can come meet you and pick
this item up
and list your beanie babies for sale let
go
very similar good pictures spell out a
shipping cost in case you have somebody
who wants
to have your item shipped or arrange to
have the item picked up
mercari people have been having success
with this one
and again this is a site that you have
to ship the item
to the buyer there is no meeting up on
mercari
craigslist is always still an option uh
depending where you live you might have
hit or miss success with craigslist i
probably use
the selling apps before craigslist but
the old tread and true craigslist is
still an option
there are some toy websites out there
that will buy your beanie babies
typically you have to have a ton of them
and be willing to let them go
for very very very little amount of
money probably about 25 cents each
if that um i've given you example of one
you can see on your screen again this is
probably
only an option if you're just really
looking to dump these off
for basically next to nothing
last three websites i'm going to give
you you've probably heard of them and
you probably have an account with one
two or three of them ebay amazon and
etsy
let's start with ebay ebay is probably
the most popular place
to buy and sell beanie babies the
highest priced beanie babies
sell consistently on ebay
it's complicated with ebay you've got to
have an account
you've got to have a lot of times good
feedback and you've got to really spell
out
your cost and shipping cost to the buyer
to make consistent sales on ebay
but ebay is definitely a viable option
if you have a lot of beanie babies you
want to sell
or potentially start a business selling
beanie babies
i have personally sold beanie babies on
amazon i'm giving you some examples
of all the costs associated with selling
those beanie babies on amazon tai is a
restricted
product on amazon and i don't want to go
too far down a rabbit hole trying to
explain all that there are certain
beanie babies that you are able to sell
though on amazon
you would it's a case-by-case basis
again i've personally done it made a
little bit of money
i'm showing you some of those examples
etsy is another option to sell your
beanie babies i have seen people
make sales on here again it comes down
to
presenting your beanie baby well with
good pictures
and spelling out the cost to your buyer
so those are some of my selling tips
