Question
I have: White Tiger beanie buddy with tag, Darling beanie buddy with tag, Stretch the cat with tag, and Rufus with no paper heart tag, but sewn in tag near rear. Could you please tell me what I should sell them for? Thanks.

Answer
Hello, rather than telling you an estimated value (which could change at any time), here are the steps to determine the value of an item based on historical sales.

Log into your eBay account.
Do a search for the item using 3-4 keywords.
After you have the results, look on the left side of the screen at the different filters.
Select the condition of your item - new, used, etc.
Choose "completed listings."
The results will be returned showing prices of the items that actually sold (in green).

Do not use active listings to determine an item's value. Only look at completed listings as completeds show what someone has actually paid, rather than active listings that show what a seller wants someone to pay.

I hope that helps!
