Russ Bears
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!

The oldest of the Russ Bears are now in their mid forties. Mere babies compared to some of the older classics like Steiff and Bing, but still old enough that some of the original owners are feeling some nostalgia as they look back at the special teddy bears they grew up with.
Here are a few quick tips to help you as you check for deal on Russ Bears on ebay:
1. The site has been making a move toward showing a lot of "buy it now" items. That is great for people who want to get what they want and go, but don't forget to check out the auctions. It seems that lately, many great bears are slipping by without a single bid even though they are priced outrageously low (like $5). This may just be something that was happening when I checked, but it is worth checking out.
2. Be sure to ask any questions you have about a bear you like before bidding. Most sellers are happy to answer questions or provide extra photos to potential buyers.
3. Check completed listings (auctions that have ended) to see what similar bears have been selling for on eBay. Doing this can help you to recognize a steal when you see it.
Russ bears are one of the more commonly seen collectible bears on eBay. While the company does have its own site, people concerned with saving some money might want to compare prices there with those available on eBay. There are many bears in excellent condition being sold at very low prices. This may just be an effect from the economy which is currently down, but it is definitely something worth checking out if you are a collector of Russ bears or any collectible.
