Frequently asked questions
Are soft toys worth selling?
Collectable lines with original tags can be worth a good deal. Generic soft toys are worth almost nothing.
Why do tags matter?
On collectable lines the tag is much of the value, and a detached or missing tag reduces it sharply.
Should I wash them first?
Yes, and say so. Soft toys go to children, so hygiene is the main buying concern.
