Batty had company in the Halloween shopping basket this week. Spooky, Fraidy and Frankenteddy all recorded more sales as October approached, even as Batty’s activity cooled after last week’s jump. Outside the Halloween crowd, Peace had a particularly busy week, while royal blue Peanut and a signed Coral Casino bear led the individual high-price sales.
For sales-volume comparisons, we use September 21–26 against September 14–19, matching Monday–Saturday windows. Counts reflect sales captured in our tracker, rather than the entire eBay market, and can include different versions of a character. The individual sales below cover September 21–27.
Peace picks up, and Princess stays busy
Peace recorded 23 sales, up from five in the previous comparison period. That makes it one of the clearest activity increases among the characters we reviewed.
The extra activity included plenty of affordable examples. Eighteen of those 23 sales had recorded prices below $10, with a median of $6 before shipping and tax. For collectors looking for a particular color combination, there were several opportunities to add a Peace without paying a premium.
Princess also had another active week, rising from 24 sales to 34.
| Beanie | September 14–19 | September 21–26 |
|---|---|---|
| Princess | 24 | 34 |
| Peace | 5 | 23 |
| Erin | 4 | 11 |
| Spooky | 3 | 9 |
| Fraidy | 2 | 8 |
| Frankenteddy | 1 | 7 |
Princess’s total spans multiple versions. When researching a particular bear, compare pellet type, manufacturing country, tags and condition before treating two examples as comparable.
The Halloween activity spreads beyond Batty
Last week, we wondered whether Batty’s sales would keep building as Halloween approached. This week’s figures offer a more mixed answer.
Batty fell from 25 sales to eight. Meanwhile, Spooky climbed from three to nine, Fraidy from two to eight, and Frankenteddy from one to seven. Together, those three characters recorded 24 sales, compared with six the week before.
Across all four characters, the combined count was almost unchanged: 32 sales this week against 31 previously. The activity shifted between characters rather than increasing across the whole group. October is approaching, but these figures alone don’t establish a seasonal surge.
The week’s biggest sales
A royal blue Peanut with third-generation hang and first-generation tush tags topped this selection at $2,399.99, followed by a signed Coral Casino bear at $1,850. Early-tag examples also featured, with Spot without a spot at $425 and Chilly at $399.
| Beanie | Sale price | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Royal blue Peanut, 3rd-generation hang tag and 1st-generation tush tag | $2,399.99 | September 22 |
| Coral Casino, signed, with COA and display case | $1,850 | September 26 |
| Spot without a spot, authenticated, 2nd-generation hang tag and Korean tush tag | $425 | September 27 |
| Chilly, authenticated, 3rd-generation hang tag | $399 | September 26 |
| Yellow Peace, described as missing its emblem | $350 | September 26 |
| Zip, 3rd-generation hang tag and 1st-generation tush tag | $350 | September 22 |
| Princess, PVC Indonesia with Canadian tag | $332.45 | September 21 |
| Billionaire #10, with COA and display case | $310 | September 26 |
| Billionaire #5, with COA and display case | $300 | September 26 |
| Pastel Peace, with COA and display case | $265 | September 26 |
Prices exclude shipping and tax. Version, tag, signature and authentication details are as described by the sellers.
Peace appeared at both ends of the market. Alongside the many affordable examples, the yellow bear described as missing its emblem brought $350, while the pastel example brought $265. Those specific examples deserve a closer look before using their prices as a reference for another Peace.
Separately, a lot containing seven Billionaire bears and a Decade bear, described as signed by Ty, sold for $3,600 on September 22. That was a group purchase, so it sits outside the individual-toy comparison.
Erin finds buyers beyond its season
Erin picked up activity too, moving from four sales to 11. Every one of those 11 had a recorded price below $10, with a median of $4 before shipping and tax. September shoppers were still adding the green bear to their collections alongside ghosts, cats and Halloween bears.
Lucky’s jump from the previous report did not continue: its sales fell from 14 to five. Along with Batty’s decline, that makes a good case for following activity over several weeks before calling a single busy stretch a trend.
