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.

Examine your teddy bears thoroughly before ever taking them for a show or auction. Before buying them look them over and ask as many questions as you can think of. Find out where the bear came from and who had him last. By examining your teddy bears you should be able to tell how much they are worth and know if you want to sell them or buy any new ones.

There are several different things to look at on teddy bears to determine their value. Labels, joints and pads on their feet can tell you just how old they are. Their face can give you a round about guess on which decade they were distributed. Fur is another issue, depending on what type of fur, the condition it is in and everything to that nature.

If the joints that are stiff hard like a bear you'd find in a craft store, remember in the beginning these were what the teddy bears looked like. The pads on the teddy bear will indicate if he is good quality or not. In the early years of teddy bears, many companies would make them with really long noses because it was suppose to represent the real thing, not something cute and cuddly. If your teddy bears have glass or button eyes they might be worth something. Last, if you have a hand-sewn teddy bear with no flaws or very minimal flaws.

Let him dry and pour a little bit more wax over the top of him until it goes just below his arms. Let this set and you've got yourself a heated little dipper. Put it on a warming plate, something you'd use to keep your coffee warm while sitting at the computer. Once it heats up, it'll begin to melt the dried wax and let off this beautiful scent.

Teddy Bears Acts As Great Marketing Tool

Teddy bears have always been cute and cuddly, but no one realized how marketable they were until the 1980s. This was the decade that would begin the teddy bear campaigns, bears would be used in television shows, commercials and storybooks. They were already in movies and books but they'd never actually put one in a commercial. Once people began seeing these commercial teddy bears they wanted one for their very own, which the company was happy to oblige by for a nominal fee. Consumers were now getting interested in their product, watching their ads and telling others.

The Coca cola bears have become very popular. It seems that every year they have a new commercial out promoting the drink. These cute little teddy bears first started appearing in 1992 with the "Northern Lights" commercial. This was when the animated polar bear went to the movies and ended the night drinking a coca cola while watching the Northern Lights. Once this commercial started showing these teddy bears were flying to the shelves and anyone that collecting teddy bears or Coca Cola items were buying them.

The Snuggle bear teddy bears have been around since 1983 when they first started floating down on our television sets. You might remember the Snuggle bear from the fabric softener commercials as he dropped down into a basket of soft sheets. You'll find Snuggles on every product sold by the company today.

By 2000 companies started noticing that those cute little teddies bears really helped sell products. At this point Charmin would introduce their "Call of Nature," commercial with their own Charmin bear and in 2001 a bear cub was added to the commercials.

The future holds many commercialized teddy bears for us; I can't wait until the next one airs. Who can resist a teddy bear, especially when he's selling something.
