If you are a Steiff bear collector, don't leave this guy behind. He'll look great sitting in a rocking chair watching over the other bears in your collection.
Russ Bears are one of the more searched for teddy bears on eBay. They part of the Russ Berrie line of dolls, trolls and bears that have become so popular because of their great designs and attention to detail. Many people collect these bears exclusively. eBay is a popular place to look for Russ Berrie Bears because the hard to find ones can still be found there and the prices on very gently "used" bears are often quite reasonable. Of course, there are Russ dogs and cats too, so if you have any special people in your life who love those animals, they've got you covered!

It is important to know how much your teddy bears are worth before buying or selling them. Some have been known to go up in price over the years while others stayed the same or went down. If you aren’t sure how to figure out how much your teddy bears are worth you can ask a dealer or go out and get a book. Collecting teddy bears can be very profitable if you know what you are doing.
I'm continuing my posts of Teddy Bear stories. This one has some grammatical errors, but it was sent from someone who lives in a country far from me and English is their second language. I'm leaving this particular story the way it is just because it tells a nice story and it was written from the heart...
I've started posting some favorite stories of how people connected with a special Teddy Bear. I hope you like them. If you have an original story about a favorite Teddy Bear that you would like to share, please use the contact form to submit it and it may get its own post!

I am fortunate to have the opportunity to speak to large groups of people as a part of my regular work routine. Many of the people I speak to are collectors of various items. I recently asked some collectors to share stories of favorite items they have either based collections on, or just kept for sentimental reasons. When I mentioned Teddy Bears as an example, I saw a few faces light up before they began writing. I thought it would be nice to share some of their stories. If you would like to share your own special Teddy Bear story, just use the contact form, and you could get your own post!

In the spirit of truly Cute Teddy Bear Stuff, I thought I'd show share some wonderful videos I found showing off people's Teddy Bear collections. I found this particular video and thought that I had to share it with all of you.
If you have a bear collection of your own, one of the nicest ways to show it off can be a simple little video like this. There are a number of Teddy Bear songs that have been made over the years. I'll try to get as many of the videos as I can on here to share with Teddy Bear fans.
Artist bears are a great way to go for people who enjoy collecting one of a kind bears (ooak bears). Artist bears are specially made bears that many times are unique because they are created individually by a person with a gift for designing and sewing/making Teddy bears. Teddy bear artists are often quite talented at giving unique expressions and features to the bears they create. In my opinion, it is the eyes filled with expression and the custom features that are sometimes offered that make these toys irresistible.
Teddy bears are one of the best gifts you can give someone you care about. Even without any kind of personalized message, their unique personalities, shown in their tiny, expressive eyes can speak volumes to the one you love. Every once in a while, you get someone who just has to do things a little bit bigger and better than everyone else. These are the people who tend to own giant teddy bears. Sometimes they just buy these for other people. Sometimes these come from winning games at amusement parks. When I was little I won a giant teddy bear that was as big as I was and my Mom was tired of it within a week. She never made me get rid of it though because she knew I liked it so much.
Some people collect things. Other people wonder why some people collect things. I don’t think there is any one reason why people build collections. Many collections start completely by accident. I’m sure that many teddy bear collections were begun after someone received a couple of bears that they really liked and then put them out on display. Maybe they talked about them a lot or played with them constantly. That caught the eye of someone who cared about them who thought a new bear might make a nice gift. THAT bear got added to the collection, and so on and so on…
