I bought one of the rubber face Ruskin bear for $20 and sold it immediately to China for $500+ . I always look for them now. Thanks for the other plush information.
Hey Auction Professor! I want to thank you for all of the work you put into your content. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I have a love for finding rare items and have been able to expand my horizons because of your videos. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Thanks Don that gives me another reason to go through my 300+ death pile of plush I might have something worth looking at. My first e-bay sale was an Alf plush!
Huge video game plush collector myself. Kinda surprised you didn't bring up the Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 plush sets from the late 90s. Some of them now of days go for upwards of 10k if in decent condition. The same can be said about The Sonic the Fighter plushes.
I truly love this video. Your vibe and the way you speak makes it so much easier to accept the fact most of my missing childhood toys have the monetary worth of all the love they've been given 😄🖤💫
Thanks, Don ~ as someone who has helped clean out the worldly goods of several relatives who have passed on---I would urge everyone to consider their personal expiration date, mortality, and if your "collection" needs a care taker...My Mom died in 2006 and I STILL have her overwhelming collection boxed up in my garage. sigh. I need to figure out this Ebay thing, lol!
holy crap! I have a Rushton elephant that I have had since I was a baby. I did not know until watching this video, that my Lizzie was made by Rushton. I was born in 1959.
You must be a mind reader bc I have just recently gotten into selling plush. I LOVE learning all the new brands and dolls from you! Great job and VERY informative!
Great video. I'm a first-time watcher and this resignated with me and gave me a clear picture of what to look for. Thank you I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I do have Promo Bolt 😊 I also have 3 of the Gipsy Mr Carrot Volt plush ( 1 with Mr Carrot and 2 without Mr Carrot ) considered to what they go for sometimes, I got mines for nice deals! 🥰 I’m a huge fan of Bolt for already 10 years and collected Bolt plushies and other Bolt items in these 10 years of loving Bolt. I still do! I actually should make a Bolt plush collection video 😅 had planned that a while ago but kinda forgot about it 😅😂😂… and my collection kept growing and growing…
My auntie gave us 2-3 of the my pet monster puppets a couple years ago. With their chains. And I never thought to even look them up because we just thought they were super cool. Amazing to know
I recently opened my Grandmother’s cedar chest and it was full of old plush. Had a March of Dimes Elvis teddy bear in the tux. A giant bunny and dog with rubber face. Some 60’s Barbie’s too.
Regarding the very last segment with the Lost and Found crying toys, I know a guy who has made it his life mission to collect every single one of the lamb plush from that set. He has like 40 of them.
The GUND plush dogs with the rubber faces, and 'sleepy' eyes, are also valuable, especially the Regal Beagle, Bye-Bye Beagle (which came in a suitcase, with an outfit) and the Lady and the Tramp rubber faced dogs. IIRC, GUND also produced a line of rubber faced monkey plush toys.
Here’s some rare plushes I happen to have in my collection (I collect old Chuck E. Cheese and showbiz pizza merchandise) 1: a prototype beach bear plush from the Rockafire explosion 2: an original Chuck plush from 1980. What’s really interesting is that he has ground nut shells as his filling
The lost and found bunny at the very end is hard to find pictures of. I've been looking for it forever and haven't seen a picture or video until watching this! I was wondering if I just imagined having one.
Love what you do. Love the vintage commercials. Funny thing, when I see you I do not expect your voice to sound that way. I expect more of a JOnathan Rhys Davies voice. lol.
This video is bringing up so many memories of things I had...wish I still had them now! I thrifted one of those monsters in the 90s and gave it to my friend as a joke, but the quality of it really was nice. Who knows what became of it. I worked at Kenner for awhile, and the older designers used to tell me about weird toys that were produced (I worked there before Kenner became part of Mattel). The funniest thing was called the "Daddy Saddle"--ostensibly for kids to put on their dad's back when playing horsie, but my coworker was like, "Hmm, I wonder if any kids actually bought that? Or were they only used by adults??" ROFL.
I found a Boyds Bears jointed bunny the first time I went to the Goodwill bins, so I paid less than $1 for it. Just a common one so it's selling for $16, but I'd call $1 to $16 a win!
My dad still has two rushton dog plushies from his childhood they are in my opinion kinda weird looking but now that I see this video there look makes sense : )
I still have my Spuds McKenzie 🐶 plush I bought in the late 80s and was wondering what is the best way to store him, right now he smells like my attic and he is starting to yellow 😕
I just got 2 big vintage soft toys from same source together. Both are about 19" tall. 1 is Ganz Canada label, very big brown and cream dog with yellow neck ribbon, pink tongue hanging out, crescent black/white painted eyes. 2nd has no label but very big bunny, pinky orange and white fur, yellow neck ribbon, solid stuffed ears, fluffy cheeks and tail and orange/yellow/black crescent painted eyes. Anyone got any ideas because I can't find either on internet. 😊
Don, I have an original 1983 Grumpy Bear Care Bear with painted eyes in great condition. I need to find more information on them. I pulled it from my store until I can get a good idea what it is worth. Thanks
I just found your channel! Love beanie babies but lost all of my babies when I left my husband in 2014. My mom just passed in January and I got her collection. I was just going through them and noticed something I’ve never noticed before. My Clubby tush tag has the R after collection there’s a star by the ❤️ that has Ty inside then there’s a 03 and another R at the bottom of the heart. I can upload a picture if your interested in seeing this because I have no idea what this means!
Great video! I've been very lazy about checking plushies as I source. I used to buy plushies and made good money but then I got bored..... and they take up a lot of space so I just stopped buying them... but it's time to get back in the plush market.
Do you have a link to vid devoted to beanie babies. Just bought a lot of 60+ w many that show to be rare but totally clueless till today and doin mad research
Auction Professor i have a question for you. How do you find dolls with porcelain heads or that are from the 50's up to ?. Thank you for your videos very informative.
I think the first year for the "Elvis Summer Festival" was 1970 (Las Vegas)... and might have been repeated in subsequent years. You can see footage of this in the documentary "Elvis That's The Way It Is".
I have a straw stuffed bunny but only a partial tag. It's white with blue letters. It's ripped in half but the first 3 letters are Kru... any ideas? I'm desperate.
I'm a huge fan of little twin stars let me tell you ANY little twin star dolls that are older are sooooo expensive along with any other original vintage little twin stars merch they're lesser known about and most people aren't big fans so newer merchandise now for kiki and lala are also hard to find.
I have some stuffed animals that are from before i was born, some from my childhood, some from only last year and working on getting one right now (which is my first plushy I’ll have purchased) but my point is i treasure all of them and are never selling them, i dont care if I potentially own a million dollar toy (ive never looked online) their my fluffy possessions
Are Pound Puppies outfits (still in packages) worth anything? I've got several Wuzzles and Popples also. I've actually got a closet packed full of 70s, 80s and 90s plush.
Hi! I have a couple of plushies made for the single season of an australian kids show in 2001 Called Cushion Kids. Ive never seen any anywhere else or for sale online or even in thrift stores. What sort of price should i set as a starter for something like that? I have no idea , even as a ball park figure . Thanks in advance , if thats not being too cheeky? :)
I have a small "Lucky" teddybear from a carnival that has a Barbie tag sewn into its crotch. From the factory. what should I do with it? How can I find out bif its worth anything?
I have some beanie babies & was wondering if they would be worth any money, I have a McDonald's beanie baby that has fries on it on the upper right side & also curly beanie baby with two different tags, one says 1996 & the other ones says 1993
Every one of your video's loads up very easy to watch, and other video's even now as I speak, but this video no matter what I do (it won't play). Sorry, Don. Charles in the UK
Don't forget Douglas Bundy, Tahoe, Lhasa, Nikita, A & A Frostie, first generation Aurora Mush, Douglas Simba's especially cub Simba. Maybe hundreds of other mega rares.
Love your old commercials!
Brings back memories!
I bought one of the rubber face Ruskin bear for $20 and sold it immediately to China for $500+ . I always look for them now. Thanks for the other plush information.
Back in the day when we saw cute toy (and cereal) commercials… as opposed to today when we’re forced to sit thru non-stop pharmaceutical ads.
The face in that second one! 😍🤗💜And the last one too!

An astroboy carebear is something I've never heard of!! thats a cool one
Thanks Don that gives me another reason to go through my 300+ death pile of plush I might have something worth looking at. My first e-bay sale was an Alf plush!
I have an ALF hand puppet

Very nice video! Glad I found you - will be watching more. I love that you show comps and the old commercials!

I had at least a couple of those my pet monsters back in the 80's...I loved them
Thanks for all the great information!!!
You must be a mind reader bc I have just recently gotten into selling plush. I LOVE learning all the new brands and dolls from you! Great job and VERY informative!
Enjoying your presentations - succinct and informative. Great.
Never knew ALF is an acronym. I appreciate that not everything I learn from your channel is about nuts and bolts eBay.
Older Steiff products are good to watch for, as well.
I have a bunch of old Boyd's and Steiff bears. I can't seem to give them away. Maybe I just don't have the patience for ebay
@@freakee2818 there’s no market for Boyd’s right now. Steiff is still money, hang on to them if you’re having no luck now
Great video. I'm a first-time watcher and this resignated with me and gave me a clear picture of what to look for. Thank you I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Love this video, the videos were so nostalgic! Thank you for the great information.
There's also a Disney Bolt plush labeled as the Promo Bolt. I've seen them sell recently for $800-$1000.
What movie is Volt from?
I do have Promo Bolt 😊 I also have 3 of the Gipsy Mr Carrot Volt plush ( 1 with Mr Carrot and 2 without Mr Carrot ) considered to what they go for sometimes, I got mines for nice deals! 🥰
I’m a huge fan of Bolt for already 10 years and collected Bolt plushies and other Bolt items in these 10 years of loving Bolt. I still do! I actually should make a Bolt plush collection video 😅 had planned that a while ago but kinda forgot about it 😅😂😂… and my collection kept growing and growing…
Thank you once again professor. Learned a lot once again.
My auntie gave us 2-3 of the my pet monster puppets a couple years ago. With their chains. And I never thought to even look them up because we just thought they were super cool. Amazing to know
Thanks for much for the video and information
I recently opened my Grandmother’s cedar chest and it was full of old plush. Had a March of Dimes Elvis teddy bear in the tux. A giant bunny and dog with rubber face. Some 60’s Barbie’s too.
Thank you for making this video! I asked and you cane through! Loved it
Regarding the very last segment with the Lost and Found crying toys, I know a guy who has made it his life mission to collect every single one of the lamb plush from that set. He has like 40 of them.
So glad this came into my recommended :D New subbie !! :D
I sold a 4 foot tall baby bop n Barney we got em at 5$ each and sold for 500 plus and 400 plus
I always look up interesting plush
I had a Chubbles. He made that noise every time you covered his eyes. He’s in a box somewhere in this house.
No Steiff??
The GUND plush dogs with the rubber faces, and 'sleepy' eyes, are also valuable, especially the Regal Beagle, Bye-Bye Beagle (which came in a suitcase, with an outfit) and the Lady and the Tramp rubber faced dogs. IIRC, GUND also produced a line of rubber faced monkey plush toys.

Interesting. Incomprehensible.
Thanks Don. Good info as always ♥️👍😀
I have a Teddy Roosevelt bear (with hat , eye glasses, hunting vest,) in great condition is any worth in it !?
Thanks for the video, I was hoping you would have talked more about that gremlin because I think I have that one
That's Great!
I love this! Oh man do we love stuffed animals too! Wow! They are so soft and cuddly! Perfect! Stuffed Animals Dancing!

Thanks. This was very informative and also cute. Thanks
Some of those are downright terrifying.
What no Eneman? 😉

The mustang build a bear is worth the most, currently, I think. Along with the candy corn cat and the otter. I could be wrong obviously.

How much are pound puppy puppets?
I mean this with the utmost respect; I saw the thumbnail for your video and thought “HOLY SH*T! John Rhys Davies knows about stuffies????”
