Oh gawd, don't remind me. My mom already tried selling it and couldn't find anyone to buy it. Of course, she blames kids these days for not valuing her obviously valuable collection...

you can't reason with them. no matter how much you try to tell my mom it's not the 90s anymore, she absolutely refuses to accept any reality other than her 10 giant plastic bins stuffed with beanie babies is a priceless collection

Well, if the market so undervalues that stuff, the logical step would be to go buy other people's beanie babies for cheap, before people realize how much they are actually worth. And then sell heaps of them for profit, once people come to their senses.

That's obviously a very stupid idea, that you could pose to her, and let her argue why she doesn't do that. Maybe it triggers a realization about how value is constructed.
But maybe it's not worth the risk of her taking up on this very stupid idea.
