    ty beanies are infinitely less of a scam than crypto too. even if your beanie baby was worth nothing, at least you still had a physical stuffed animal that you can wipe your tears with. wtf are people doing with their Google drive hosted jpeg?

      There’s always some “collector” items than people have to have. Just look at some of the Funko Pop collections people have on Reddit.
