So apparently TNA's Don West worked for the Shop At Home network for many years before becoming becoming part of TNA's announce team. Watch him sell Beanie Babies!
He's right. There will be a price change, these will all be in bargain bins less than 10 years later.
I'm amazed anyone falls for this shit.

When my Royal Blue Peanut is worth 6-7 figures, I'll be the one laughing.
Laughing all the way to the bank.

I used to work at a toy store that sold these and the people that bought them were just rabid.
Also the company that makes them are huge assholes. They send in secret shoppers to check what stores sell their products at and they will put you on a low priority shipping list if you charge too little or too much for them.
For example we had a huge sale on the ones that nobody wanted and they said it was not in their price range.
They make some of them really rare and/or retire some after a short time period and then say you can't sell the rare ones at a higher markup. I don't know if they still do this but it was a fairly common practice when I worked at this one store from 1998-2001.
