"Crazy for You" teddy bear VTB co.?

my husband ordered this bear for me when he was deployed in iraq. little did he know that all orders were cancelled one week later.

i did receive it, and have kept it in it's box ever since. not so much because i wanted to preserve it, but when your spouse is overseas, how do you explain, to your friends/family, that it is a gift? not everyone understands dark humor.

anyway, i was just wondering what it is worth now. it sold for $69.95 (not including s/h), but has gone up due immediate end of distribution (as per the request of the medical society) and cult following.

i've tried to look it up. i'm just curious. anyone that can help me know? like i said, it's far too sentimental, but maybe in 15 years it could help my daughter through college?

Update:

to "Ask Swami"- huh???

i was just wondering the worth of the bear. last i saw, it was going for $550, but that was an opening bid on ebay. just wondering if anyone knew something more.

    I think I know exactly how you feel as my son's bedroom he no longer sleeps in as he been on his own for quite some time now is beginning to look like some kind of shrine to our ancestors haha. Actually my whole house looks like a mini museum of the weirdest hodge podge of memories, leave behinds haha funky lil churingas I cannot bear to part with as I know there will come a time soon he will seek such connections to his past. But it is I suppose more than just a little hope chest kinda thing I cannot help but to build.

    Right now it's just a small guest room for traveling family and friends I was once going to call Little Egypt in honor of one of my beautiful nieces but I always seem to have Traveling Magicians in my head for some reason whenever I think of it. I did want to write some stories thinking along the same lines as your little bear as a true gift to leave behind but haha as far as making money from them I cannot help but be a little supersticious as haha gonna sound nuts maybe but tis like selling more than just my soul, but that of.. ow well haha and then I remember it isn't mine to sell for is that book not gift of life we pass down one by one from each generation and not all things or thinks be written but simply known?

    Source(s): I don''t know. I get scared sometimes cuz I feel so dumb and blind to some things not always knowing what is right or best sometimes that I imagine I surely must sound nuts haha but hey, whateva. I think I am just a little tired is all. But yes, I did find a pic I think may be my grandfather on the Wickie but don't know how to check if it be really him or not. It sure as hell looks like him. Like a fire inside sometimes chasing ghosts and driving me batty hahaaaaaah.
