I have 300 or so of them just sitting in huge containers---I remember when I was collecting them 8-10 years ago they were a hot commodity.

Don't sell them just yet.
Any marketing student or worker will tell you that items go in apx 20 year cycle.
For example,
In the 90s what was popular? 60s..the beetles, the Doors, bell bottoms again.. Woodstock..etc..etc.. School house rock, chia pets. Ect ect..
Beanie babies were in mid-late 90s giveit time for that generation to grow up and get into college and have jobs of their own and they will start wanting to "recollect" items from the past that they remember.
I'd almost be willing to bet that those ones that were rare before? Will be worth quite a bit. You just have to hold out for awhile to start making your money back.

I'd check out E-Bay if there is a market for them out there that's where you'll find it. I think there are still some serious collectors out there. I bought up a bunch for my sister's baby shower and I was constantly getting outbid so there's someone out there still collecting.

I think their day has come and gone. I got rid of all mine in a yard sale. I wish I had never jumped on that bandwagon! I wasted so much money on those things!!

I have that same problem, only not so many. I think we just got caught up in the rush of popularity.

You better start selling them....I don't think they will make a comeback. Once a trend starts a new one takes it's place. Its like fashion.
