The Secondary Market for Used Loveys

There's a market for everything! With two little kids, I know the significance of a lovey or security blanket. I'd tell everyone who's having kids to just BUY TWO so you have a back-up. The problem is, you don't know which soft blanket or toy will become the lovey until later. If you're unlucky, the "one" will no longer be in production, or some slight design change will make your child reject it.


People are paying up to $50 for even some lightly used loveys because they are so desperately needed.
My boy loves this soft rabbit by Angel Dear. Not the one with the open eyes. Not the one with the floppy ears. This specific one. The sleepy one with short ears. Fortunately, this is only a $20 replacement on eBay, not much above retail.

I've never look for old loveys at yard sales, but I'm always looking to one-up the competition, so perhaps it will be a gold mine!

BTW, if you have a Lovable Lounger "Pipa Pig" by Ganz, we desperately need one!! Seriously!!! Contact me!!!
