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.
Is This a Collectible Teddy Bear?
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.
How I Started My Teddy Bear Collection
Here is another Teddy Bear story. This one comes from India...
I have liked Teddy Bears very much from my childhood onwards I used to play with them. One of my favorite Teddy Bears was the one given to me by my sister when we were both little. I had other Teddy bears, but that is the only one I could fall asleep with at night. My father gave me a huge Teddy bear on my next birthday, but I still loved the one from my sister the best. Those two bears were also the start of my collection. It isn't the biggest Teddy bear collection in the world, but they cover my bed and I move them every night before going to bed.
Giant Teddy Bears|Personalized Teddy Bears
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.
Teddy Bear Friends
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…
