As my wife and I are preparing to move, we found a small collection of Steiff animals and we are wondering if they are worth trying to sell. And how.

I’ll just suggest eBay and leave it there. If they are selling there, that’s what they’re worth.

Scanning through auctions on Ebay for Steiffs, it looks like the “pricier” / vintage ones are typically going for $75-$100. I’d suggest looking on Ebay for completed auctions / sales for the ones you have, and seeing what they’re selling for, as a starting point.

I can state with conviction that the _Get Fuzzy_ strips about a Steiff bear were among my favorites. [Here’s a few from the start of that storyline](http://www.geocities.ws/pippinsworld/WetaShirt.jpg).
