   okay so Im only 8 days late :)  I see the newsgroup is still under the   
   false name beaniebabies, but in reality is still the geo and jman show.   
      
      
   Im living in southwest florida now (hey isnt that edalyn country?????)   
   and find it interesting that I never ever see the 5-25c prices george   
   always posts about.  Never saw them that low in NC either...oh well   
   guess the east coasters are still trying to make a buck ;)   
      
   I was at a couple flea markets recently and looked at them to see the   
   going prices as I still have a huge tub I need to sell. I acquired a lot   
   of them thru store credit I had accumulated w/intentions of making a few   
   bucks on ebay, and never got around to it....now its about 4 years later   
   ...DOH!!!  Should have done it when I got them...could have gotten at   
   least $4 each for them then.   
      
   Flea markets here are averaging about $2 a peice for them...most do a 5   
   for $9.99 sign.  However the more "sought after" ones...like the older   
   bears that used to sell in the $100s (garcia etc) still are fetching   
   $10-$20..I found that surprising.   
      
   Anyways........Hope everyone has a prosperous year!   
   Health, happiness and wealth to you all :)
