Pisaries Creator

This is a wacky documentary because it highlights the charmed suburban life of the women that helped start the Beanie Babies craze and the rest that followed that weren’t so lucky. This obsession among collectors had all the elements of buying and selling the next cash cow and that’s what happened. When it came to trading Beanie Babies on eBay or at shows and making tons of money, all in with Beanie Babies seemed like a great idea, and it was for a while. The creator of Beanie Babies had a one in a million idea and capitalized on the obsessive personality in people. Call it a perfect storm but eventually a great idea becomes a fading memory. People lose interest and the item you mass produced loses significant value. Nothing rarely lasts forever, and many collectors were left with bins of half-stuffed Beanie Babies no one wanted to buy at the price they originally paid, while the creator was worth billions. His name is H. Ty Warner and I doubt you’ll forget his name if you were burned by his selling tactics. He knew what he was doing as much as he knew what he was doing when he was charged with tax evasion in 2014. I have one Beanie Baby because someone bought it for me. The tag is no longer there and it’s dusty. Guess how much it’s worth? About one dollar, if that, so yes, I’m glad I didn’t get hooked on Beanie Babies, but it’s a fascinating story about marketing, profit greed, and public consumption. Most of the Beanie Babies aren’t worth much today except for a few. That’s for just about anything. Of course, buy them on eBay if you love Beanie Babies. Oh yeah and here’s Radar below. I buy stamps knowing they won’t be worth anything. I guess everything in moderation is the key and within your means.

I rate Beanie Mania FOUR FINGERS and ONE THUMB at 100%.
