If you are reading this you probably were looking to find out how much those teddy bears you inherited from your deceased mother are worth.
They are worth less then she paid for them.
We inherited over 300 Raikes and Steiff teddy bears as well as many hand made one offs from random makers.
The above picture is just a tiny portion of what we inherited. The bears were originally priced at anywhere from $40 to $350 each.
We quickly learned that the market is flooded with them, and that nobody wants them. The people that do want them don't want to pay shipping for them.
we ended up selling some on facebook, giving many away and the rest went to an estate sale.
almost all the bears had warning tags that said they were not toys and not meant for children.
Never buy "collectibles" as an investment. If it says it's "collectible" it's not. Anything is "collectible" even dog shit if you are weird enough.
