TY Beanie Babies Condition Examples

The condition of TY Beanie Babies is extremely important. At this time, we are purchasing mint/new or like-new items only — we do not accept used, played-with, or non-mint products.

Requirements for Acceptance

  • Must be in mint (or like-new) condition for both the Beanie itself and all tags (hang tag and tush tag).
  • Clean — no dirt, spots, dust, or lint.
  • Odor-free — no smoke, pet smells, perfume, or other odors.
  • Hang tags must be perfect: no creases, bends, price stickers, fading, rips, or writing.

If your items were stored properly (e.g., in plastic bags or bins) and remained clean, dust-free, and odor-free from the original owner, we are likely to purchase them. However, if they were used as toys, played with, displayed openly, collected dust — or acquired from secondary sources (flea markets, garage sales, donations, etc.) — we most likely cannot accept them and may return the shipment.
