In 1993 when Ty launched their Beanie Babies, children couldn’t get enough of these bean bag animals. Now, almost 17 years later, with my children grown, the lure is gone, but the massive collection of over 500 beanies was just laid out on the living room floor. Now comes the difficult part – do I: 1) inventory all this and put it up on eBay; 2) go to the container store and purchase several hundred miniature boxes and wrap these toys for some needy kids somewhere in the world; or 3) put them in a large trash bag and drop them in a Goodwill receptacle. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
