This week I will be taking you on a tour of my favorite spot in Goodwill- the stuffed animal bin. It can be dusty, mothbally or staleish smokey or it can be gloriously rewarding.
There are a lot of random things to look out for in the toy world that are worth buying that most people think are trash and so are often left on the shelf for the Ebayers.
1.My First Bear by Eden, well initially it was made by Kids Gifts then that company became Eden. It is an 11 inch bear with a thermal pastel body and a tan plush head. It has "My First Bear" embroidered on it's chest.
This is what I am thinking, Eden made about a billion of these 6 or 8 years ago. People gave them as baby shower gifts. Kids got attached to them, parents had fond memories of it in the crib.... Then Eden stopped production.
So when Jr. leaves it on the train or big brother stuffs it in the garbage disposal to make bear juice, mom and dad aren't left with many options.
So keep your eye out for My First, he sells for an easy 29-39 and you can often pick him up for a quarter in a baby toy garage sale or stuffed animal box.
But hey! Don't pass up the identical bear without the embroidery- that was the Eden replacement in their line and he is worth about 15-19. There is also a primary color version which sells for about. . . (read post) |
