Check this link out,

My sister sent it to me. I had not idea that some people spend their time as beanie baby authorities. Next time you spend $800.00 for a part think of this crap.

The guy posting the auction sound like allot of us.

:withstupid: He's hysterical! Buy tools . . . and beer! :cheers:

What's interesting is that there is actually a possibility that it is a scam. For a guy that knows nothing about Beanie Babies, it's quite a coincidence that several of the ones he selected (at random?) are very valuable. We bought one Beanie Baby (Waddles the Penguin) on ebay for my son (I swear!!!) and it was only 75 cents!

This guy's up to $860. The more I think about it, the fishier this sounds. :skep:
