Donating Your Winnie the Pooh Collection of Collectibles and Memorabilia :: Maryland :: Garrett County, MD

Donating Your Grandma’s Pooh Collection

Donate your Winnie the Pooh Collection of Collectibles to the Guinness World Record Largest Pooh Collection It seems like the art of collecting may have become an activity of yesterday. It used to be that you couldn’t walk into someone’s Garrett County house and not find Comic Books, Paper Weights or a Pooh collection.

Garrett County baby-boomers really enjoyed collecting things. The trend these days is to be a minimalist.

So when you’re ready to scale back or sadly when a collector family member passes away where do you go with their Art, Books or Pooh Bear collection?

Selling Winnie the Pooh Collection

You could try to sell the Pooh Items online. Some of the problems you might face when selling online include: setting up a payment account, thinking up enticing listing descriptions, figuring out postage, packaging materials and weighing each item, answering question messages from potential buyers, handling returns on damaged items, etc.

Also, figuring out pricing can be challenging. Grandma may have paid $100 for an item but the online going rate is only $2.79. You need to ask yourself the question “is my time worth just a few dollars”? Online selling can take a significant amount of time.

Donate Winnie the Pooh Collection

Donate your Winnie the Pooh Collection of Collectibles to the Guinness World Record Largest Pooh Collection You can give it to a place like a Garrett County Goodwill. They will take it. However, some people struggle with the thought of their Mom’s much-loved items being separated and sold for .99 cents. The plush could become a dog toy.

You could donate any plush to a Garrett County children’s place. However, many places only accept items that are new, in the original boxes and are 5 years old or newer. Plus, your Grandma really took care of the plush and displayed them. Some people have a hard time with a plush collectible becoming a plush child toy.

Donate Your Grandma’s Pooh Collection to the Guinness World Record Largest Pooh Collection & Make It Part of History

Over the years I have been contacted by family members and asked if they can donate and if I will accept Winnie the Pooh Collectibles.

My answer is yes! I am always honored and humbled to – in my words – “to take care of their collection”.

If I am talking to the Garrett County collector and owner I let them know which numbers their items will be in the Guinness World Record Largest Pooh Collection. Their collection becomes part of history vs. being sold for a buck at a rummage sale. I let them know I will showcase their donated collection along with mine. I consider their collectibles as THEIR collection in my database.

When someone donates Winnie the Pooh Items I think it makes people feel better which I am happy for. Letting go of “things” can be hard for a collector and owners and even sometimes for family members. As much as we don’t want to be labeled as “materialistic” – things we buy and collect can have sentimental attachments and it’s those feelings that we are attached to probably more than the items. People remember where they were when they received an item, who they were with or even where in their life cycle they were. They don’t want those memories to vanish with the collection. You can put a price tag on a stuffed animal or toy but you can’t put a value on happiness.

By donating Winnie the Pooh Collectibles to the Guinness World Record Pooh Collection the collection stays grouped and the memories are still there too. In fact, if the relative wants, they can even visit their collectibles when traveling from Garrett County to WI.

If you have a collection of Pooh items to donate, feel free to call me and we can coordinate adding your Grandmother’s Pooh Collectibles to history and the Winnie the Pooh Museum.
