Beanie Fucking Babies - Nubblies.net Forums

ProfessorNumber · 12-11-2003, 10:22 PM

I was digging through my boxed possessions the other day, and I happened to find a couple boxes of these stupid ass toys. When I looked at them, all I felt was rage. Rage at the man who invented, and killed those cute collectibles.

Most of you have heard of Ty Beanie Babies, and if you haven't, then fuck off. Anyway, they were created several years ago by a man with the last name of Ty, which also happens to be the name of his company (what an uncreative bastard). Upon their creation, Beanie Babies took off somewhat slowly, until suddenly the market for them exploded. Soon you couldn't go anywhere without hearing about them, and you pretty much couldn't buy them unless you stood outside at 5:30 A.M. waiting for stores to open their doors.

But what happened to these "Beanie Babies"? well, I'll fucking tell you what happened. The dumbass inventor of them got super pissed when he saw his childrens toys being sold for hundreds of dollars. So what did he do? He fucking flooded the market with those sacks of beans. In essence, he shot himself in the foot, because once Beanie Babies became worthless, so did his company. The man, who was a hermit, probably has retired by now with his millions of dollars, leaving thousands upon thousands of collectors stranded with worthless sacks of shit. What a fucking douche face.

Sure, what he did was supposed to be a matter of priniciple. However, in actuality, all he did was fuck over thousands of people. Congratulations Mr. Ty, you are officially a fucking bastard.

Anyway, for the record, I made my money back 3 times over. But I'm still pissed, because I still have a couple boxes of these gay things, and they could have been worth something by now had he not fucked that up.

Pliedes · 12-11-2003, 10:39 PM

I'm sure you could still find a place where you could get at least something for them.

They're pretty stupid though. They kept the market going for a good while, but you're exactly right, greed got the best of them and by flooding the market, they killed it.

Bring the Beanie Babies to the Nubblies Christmas Party and we'll burn them.

I had quite a few beanie babies in my day. Most were sports related and such, but one that I still have is worth almost $300 bucks now, so I'm not too pissed at Mr. Ty for those plastic bean filled rags. I'll take $300 dollars for a miniature bean bag any day.

I did, however, hate the teany beany babies at McDonald's, it just went too far.

Ugly Bastard · 12-12-2003, 12:53 AM

I haven't a problem with Beanie Babies.

My Grandparents bought me one thinking it would be cool or something one year. Come to find out, it was worth a shitload of money, I put a classified in the Times-Union, and some lady gave me $110 cash for the motherfucker...

Well, for the record, I made just shy of 1k off of about 20 beanie babies. But, I held on to my other 280, thinking their value would hold.

But, Mr. Ty fucked me over. I could have easily made another 1.5k had I sold my entire collection. Fuck beanie babies and fuck Ty (and I guess myself for being greedy).

ProfessorNumber · 12-12-2003, 01:04 AM

haha, Saying "fuck Ty" doesn't imply that "I" want to have sexual intercourse with Ty. It simply means that I want him to get ass raped. By Bubba. In prison. For fucking over kids like me. Damnit.

Professor Number, for someone with a badass persona on Nubblies, owning 280 Beanie Babies doesn't help your cause much.

Ugly, do you always type "-Ugly Bastard" at the end of each post?

the Butcher · 12-12-2003, 02:38 AM

I am proud to admit I never had one of these fucking shitbags. I don't care how much I could have made off of selling them, they were still pieces of shit. I think that Mr. Ty is a fucking genius, however, to make so much money off of something so goddamn worthless. However, he, like the creator of Furbies, fucked up royally. Oh well, if given the chance I'd do it too. And don't doubt that I wouldn't, biatch.

That question has run through my tiny mind many a time. Good call Pliedes.

He sure does.
Except for the posts about the Cubs being in the World Series.
And that was funny as hell.

silver and cold · 12-12-2003, 02:11 PM

I'll admit, I got like 6 for christmas, thought they interesting, then put them in my closet..And like a year later, my mom went crazy and started collecting them...Ask Malibu, she saw them, when my mom had them out with all my old stuffed animals. I didnt have 300, but it was close! Now she stores them in boxes under a bed...I guess she thinks they will come back someday.

Yeah. It takes well under a second by now, and I do it without even thinking about it...I doubt I'll ever be able to break the habit now.

I just wondered. It seemed like you would've just put it in your signature by now. Though I'm still puzzled as to why you sign it. We do know the post is by you. It's all good though, I'm know old habits are hard to break... *bites fingernail.

Pliedes · 12-12-2003, 06:47 PM

Indeed, but I don't think it now serves that purpose (genuine care and craft).

Titan · 12-12-2003, 06:59 PM

I think the purpose it serves, once started and continued, is timeless.

Ugly Bastard · 12-12-2003, 07:01 PM

It started out as genuine care and craft, yes. It remains that way still...I was just commenting that (while I do it out of care and craft) I do it automatically without thinking about it as well.
