Users were quick to point out some issues with his line of thinking in the comment section.
"If that Beanie Baby has the error on the tag and the thinner stripe on the left leg it could be worth as much as zero dollars!" shared one user.
"Seeing a Beanie Baby on Etsy or eBay for thousands doesn’t mean it’s ever gonna sell. Nobody wants them," wrote another.
The poster responded to the user, conceding that they were right, items are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.
Further down in the comments, he went on to explain that he was exaggerating the thousand-dollar price point.
The Beanie Baby he found is selling on some marketplaces for hundreds, upwards of $800.
One user in the comments cited this price and offered to buy it on the spot.
"I’ll give you $800 for the Beanie Babie final offer," they commented.
