Comment on Talk to Your Teddy

But if you read the book Teddy Bear Philosophy by Susan Schwartz, you might find that your teddy has lots of wisdom to convey to you, if you will only listen.

Comment on Sticker Shock

I really hadn't given it too much thought. I haven't used eBay for quite some time but I do know it was MUCH cheaper a couple years ago! It's hard to believe they've raised their prices so much. Of course, now, I notice that they have lowered them again a bit in order to get folks to come back since so many have eliminated or reduced the amount of listings. Perhaps that's a consequence of two things: The higher fees driving folks away and the economy - maybe it's both.

Hi, I have a question. I have my original Steiff teddy bear from the 1950's. In looking at it I now am not sure it is indeed a Steiff. I was always under the belief it was. Is there a way I could send a photo and get opinions as to whether it is indeed a Steiff?

Comment on Auction Tips and Other Ramblings

The Teddy Patch is an auction site separate from eBay. We specialize in teddy bears and other collectibles. Not only do you have the problem of generating interest, you will also have high fees to pay for your auction - whether it sells or not. We do not charge listing fees at The Teddy Patch, just a small final value fee only if your item sells. eBay will not advertise for you for free - we will. Advertising is the only thing I know of to generate interest, but in today's tough times, the buyers are often difficult to find.
