My son was into them big time. The shop next to where I worked carried them. So I would buy them for him. We must have about 100 of them. They are now part of my retirement fund. ;-)

Hi, My name is
Stephanie and I......have Beanie's. I never collected them really, just
aquired them slowly or was given them for gifts. I only have a few but
need to rid them as they are taking up
room on my stuffed animal shelf, I mean...trophy shelf.

No. I do have four bags of dried navy beans handy for quick-stitch, old fashioned beanbags--the kind kids can play with.

A couple that I got as gifts. I don't collect them.

No, they are too inane to interest me.

No. I never did see why people liked them. I recently saw an antiques dealer on television who had the opinion that they'll never really be worth much of anything.

No, never collected any Beanie Babies.

When Beanies were real popular, I called them "Beanie Bastards" but I guess I've mellowed because I now have three of them on my desk - a Slow Loris I call Doris, a lizard I call Liz, and a frog named Froggy. When Frodo went to Alaska, he got me an eagle called Beagle and my favorite sits on top of my computer - Woodstock.

Actually, I don't know anyone that personally collects them. My kids have a couple, but those are just toys

I have the Cocker Spaniel, Sparky in the regular size and the big Beanie Baby size. My sisters gave him to me because I have two Cocker Spaniels as pets.

Yes, but they were gifts. I know people who have hundreds of those things. I have a pink flamingo and Aurora, the polar bear, who rides on the dash of my car.

I don't but my daughter has about 25 of them.

Yes. I have the Zodiac Rat, Ox, Snake, and Rooster for the members of my family and the Zodiac tiger just because. Those are the Ty Beanie Babies. I also have all of the Rocky and Bullwinkle beanies that CVS Pharmacy sold a couple of years ago (not Ty brand) and a Woody Hayes bear from Ohio State.

I had the rainbow teddy bear at one point, I think it was the Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead one, but I don't know what happened to it. I just really liked pastel colors and the bear was so cute! Anyway, I think it's crazy how so many women fight over them.

I have three and two sets of the McDonalds ones (my aunt got them for me). At one time I thought about collecting them, but I just have way too much junk that I normally collect.

Actually, I received my first beanie baby as a "get well" gift last month when I was in the hospital. My son has a bunch of them, though.

Yes I have a few beanie babie's, Ty and from McDonalds the most.
