<p>Wow, remember the bb craze? Only craze we were a part of --TG. Maybe it was because they were so cheap.</p>

<p>So what to do with them. What to do with much of our moving out kids things. I hate to throw away things that are useful but hate garage sales. I give tons to my church and salvation army. But some things I just do not know what to do with.</p>

<p>Prom/other fancy dresses? Stuffed animals (ie beanie babies)? Dance show costumes?</p>

<p>dmd77 – ok, now you got me to google garcia beanie baby for sale and do some research!!</p>

<p>Looks like the sale prices vary widely - saw some Garcias seliing for $9.99. Of course mine is not "Ultra-sonically sealed by the authenticator in a tamper resistant clear display case " like the $150 Garica! Very interesting, and he is a cute bear. :)</p>

<p>Earlier this year the Dedham (MA) Junior Women’s Club sent 140 beanies babies to troops in Iraq; they were VERY popular:</p>

<p>"The American Flag is a contribution on behalf of the service men and women of the United States Air Force currently deployed to Ali Al Salem Air Base. It was donated to the Town of Dedham in response to The Dedham Jr. Woman’s Club’s initial donation of Beanie Babies. The Dedham Jr. Woman’s Club collected, donated, and mailed Beanie Babies in hopes of distribution to our service men and women currently abroad in Iraq.</p>

<p>Msgt. Michael Nelan of the 817th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron included a note with the flag, “Thank you ladies for all of the Beanie Babies. As a gesture of my appreciation, I had this flag flown over the battlefield in your honor. Thanks again for bringing some joy to us and taking your time & resources to send us the Beanie Babies. We really appreciate your support.”</p>

<p>I always thought BB were cute and inventive. A often wished that DS got into them, so that I could enjoy them. sigh.</p>

<p>LongPrime, have I gotta deal for you…</p>

<p>I might even throw in a gazillion Furbys to sweeten the deal.</p>

<p>Unless of course someone can give me an R factor as insulation. They’re in the attic anyway, and I might be able to save a few more heating $ by adding another six inches of insulation. All I’d have to do is open the boxes and spread them around. </p>

<p>If wife or d find out, I can always blame it on squirrels.</p>

<p>Won’t we be needing them in the future for 90s nostalgia events?</p>
