I think some of them are still still hoping for that sweet payout

I was trying to find a specific beanie baby I had as a kid the other day and all the results were for these pristine in box listings that I don't think anyone's given a second glance in years going for like ten or twenty dollars

...man I just want the dumb jingly elf I had as a kid I don't really care about the tag

Twenty dollars for an out of production toy still in the box isn't exactly asking for the moon.

True, but I always get the vibe from tise auction listings that they were originally for much more - they're always set up nice and pretty with backgrounds and super nice shots and everything
