I agree with Tyler. Beanies are a created collectable. They boom and bust. Two years from now they'll all be in boxes and drawers next to the Avon bottles. I dabble in antiques and collectables and I can tell you that you can't give away an Avon bottle, or a Cabbage Patch Kid.
On the other hand Cushman Motor Scooters are not created collectables. They were designed for a practical purpose. (cheap transportation) They will always have collector value, but even at that their value will drop some when all of the people who had one when they were young die out. The same is true for old cars. If you want a collectable that won't go down in value, sell those beanies and buy good antique furniture. Howard
