I am hoping my reality friends can help out here.

Don't laugh ok? lol

I collect beanie babies. Yes there are still some of out there that did not give it up when "The End" came.

This last week Ty sent out a "Thank You" bear to retailers as a gift. They only sent 1 for the buyer, not resale to the pubic.

As a collector I want to add this bear to my collection. If you know anyone that sells Ty products or shop at a place that does. Would you ask about this bear? Please. They are hard to find as many retailers are giving them to thier best customers, keeping them, or giving them to someone they know that collects.

I know there are 1000's out there in shops that could care a less about this bear. They sell them at local hospital gift shops, book stores, Cracker Barrel and Aunt Sarah's rest, Zainy Brainy, Military exchanges, many places.

I am hoping if I put this out here, since people here are from all over the country I might have a shot at this bear.

Please do not tell me e-bay as I can not afford the second market prices. Being a collector for many years and not knowing who you are buying from, I would not buy from these people because I have been in the same lines with some of them and some are ruthless.

I have some good Exclusive beanies from other countries to trade for this Bear. Or will pay up to $50.

Can you please remember me when out and you see a BEANIE BABY in a shop ask if they have this bear "Thank YOu" This is the 2nd one, the first one is blue this one is tan, I would love both, but I don't think any one would have the first hanging around as it was sent out 3 years ago.

I am willing to pay $50 for it, but would love to get it at retail price for $5.99 (remember they were sent free to retailers) There might be one kind person out there that would love to make someone like me (a nut) happy.

Thanks for reading. I hope it is ok that I put this at this board.

Happy holidays everyone.

Marybeth, you might want to post this in the "General Discussion" area. More people read posts over there than they do over here (now that BB is over). In fact, someone might be able to tell you where to get one. People over there are really helpful and brilliant. :)

Thank you everyone for your help and comments. Thanks for checking Maris.

I would appreciate if a mod could move this so I don't have to retype a book.

Thank you to all that read it. I knew I would get a response. You guys/gals are great!

Pamy, you can do a search at the Ty site for retailers, believe me, I emailed many people, and the next day spent most of it on the phone calling more. Some possibilities, but I also know when people find out they are going for almost $200 on the bay, not sure how lucky I might be.

Thanks Scorpiomoon, if I don't see this has been moved I will try to make a short note in the "GD" area.

I do have a contact, but don't seem to have the address in my address book.. the next time they email me, I'll post it here.. it was someone I bought from once on eBay but they put out emails when they get in new stuff.

Maybe Tess will put it in her daily recap. EVERYBODY reads there. If they don't, they should.

Hi all- I was just wondering.....
it's been a few years since I was pregnant (seven actually!) and today I found out the great news that my brother and his SO are expecting. This is a huge shock to everyone as he has been with this girl less then a year, but he already had plans to marry her. I would like to give her a little something special to let her know how thrilled I am of this news-she is feeling very upset and thinking that our family is looking down on her. Any ideas for a inexpensice yet nice gift for a mom to be? Thanks!

Well Silly, I am not one to give people baby gifts in the early days of a pregnancy but how about a nice little gift of body lotion or something for the young mother to pamper herself with.

I don't know if this fits her personality, but maybe a nice journal or baby book? Where she can record whatever she wants... details, photos, etc... she could make it just for herself, or make it something to share with her child later on, or even share with dad and others now, its up to her.
