'i found 'retired' jellycat for less than a third of price in unexpected place'

Jellycats are all the rage, and have been for quite some time - and the hype does not seem to be going anywhere. If anything, it's ramping up, and collectors will stop at nothing to get

hold of the stuffed toys they desire. However, some resellers are making it tricky for people by pricing Jellycats well out of their budgets. That's why one woman was shocked to find a

'retired' Jellycat with tags at a bargain price. But what is a retired Jellycat? They're designs which are no longer being manufactured or produced. Over time, certain styles

or collections are discontinued to make way for new releases that may resonate more with modern audiences. When a Jellycat toy is retired, it becomes harder to find, sometimes increasing

its value among collectors. Becky's Bazaar posted a video on social media saying that she found "retired Jellycats at the boot sale." Becky noted the couple who sold her the

toy are the "biggest Jellycat fans" and they knew their stuff as they spoke to her about the collectables they had on offer. The man behind the stall assured Becky that all the

Jellycats were "half the price of what they are online," sharing that "most of them are retired". The woman behind the stall then explained that they had a couple that

were still in circulation, but most of them would not be returning to stores. They had a Jellycat highland cow pillow, which they said was £100 online, but Becky found a seller asking for a

whopping £300. They also had a campfire which was selling for significantly more online, and a tiny cupcake that was going for almost £200 on eBay. There was even a curly bashful bunny

'old version' going for over £1,000 on eBay too - but Becky old had her eye on one little plushie. "How much is this one out of interest? He's caught my eye," she

said of the Jellycat Merryday cow. The stall owners said that they'd charge £30, even though online the same toy fetches a whopping £84 - and that's without tags. The one Becky

wanted still had the tags, which can increase the value. One of the stall owners then offered to sell Becky the cow for £25, and she knew she had to take him home that moment. "Shall

we? £25?" she asked her partner, as he was contemplating the campfire without tags for £15. She then bought him and put him in a bag separately to keep the plush toy safe. In the

comments, someone wrote: "That’s a good price for the cow! Not really sure who’s buying that campfire for £120 online though." Another penned: "I bought a cow, the black and

white one, 26yrs ago, for a friend's first born, she took that cow everywhere, still her fave toy and sits in her room, best present I've ever bought."
