It seems like every time this email gets brought up it is quickly hidden or dismissed. Am I the only one that thinks this is highly unusual or relevant? I own a business handling personal property liquidations and can say for certain that it would not be possible to sell a beanie babie for $20 each...

My bet this one is about drugs, probably xtc pills. The guy has quite a stash, and needs to get rid of it fast for some reason. 20$ a piece seems about right for 2015, albeit on the high side. Also, the word "bean" is old slang for xtc, tough not commonly used. Apparently, he has pills from different batches (some are sassier than others), and pills from different batches can be combined (they are very respectful and amicable with one another).
The cat&dog reference seems to be about how well his pills mix with other drugs, which, for anyone buying pills in these quantities, should be a considerate point of concern, as xtc is often mixed with other drugs. 'Cat' probably refers to Ketamine, which can be mixed with xtc to heighten the experience. Could also mean cocaine, but that drug is not commonly used in combination with xtc. 'Dog' is known slang for heroin (which can be combined with xtc, even though that is a rare practice). Other contestants are plain old alcohol, cannabis or GHB, which are either hardly ever combined with xtc, or generally mix so well that they wouldn't warrant a special mention.

Why would someone want to pay full price for 200 pills? Still doesn't sound right to me.

I like this theory but that may be just cause I like drugs.
While I find your theory plausible, I highly doubt that it'd be that hard for an adult (probably with some sort of power to even be implicated) to hide 480 pills. I KNOW I could've hid that when I lived in my parents house. And using human emotions like being more respectable and/or sassy when talking about drugs doesn't nearly fit as well as literal babies. (Think about they're already using code and still personifying. It seems odd to not be literal if someone was to break the code for a quick second)
However $1800 must be on the higher end (assuming alefantis' pic of German doll was some sort of sick joke) so $20 seems very very low and I'm not sure someone would assume they could ask acquaintances to hold 480 kids for them

I live in NC, and $20 USD sounds about right on for beanz. When i was in high school (over 10 years ago), a quadstack would EASILY sell for 15-20 dollars. When I used to roll, we had G's up hoes down on a constant basis and if you sold them less than <5 at a time, the price was $20/bean all day every day. If you bought more than that, you might could get them for $15/bean if you were lucky.
And depending on what kind of x you got, you could easily mix it with special k OR a downer, most of the time it was just benzos considering ron with x is not a safe combination considering you will never know (unless sent off for testing) what that pill was cut with. A legit roll pill with just contain mdma, but they are often cut WITH other drugs to "enhance" experience, such as ketamine which is extremely sedating.
Either way, I have heard people selling "dog food" as heroin before.

Sorry but never once have I heard "dog" be used for heroin. Not dismissing the drug theory just saying. Though calling the beanie babies "creatures" rubs me quite the wrong way.

maybe it's about babies that they use to put drug in, to smuggle?

$20 a piece about right? Guess you're not from where I come from. That is way over priced.
I don't think it's about drugs.

euro pills are easily $15-20. hard to come by 🔥

Yeah, this is absolutely not about drugs. Pricing way too high and way too generic. Also if you have that many drugs it usually is because you've been around them and feel comfortable enough to keep such a large amount..I highly doubt parents would be an issue.
Edit: in USA it's very unlikely it would be any more than 15 bucks per roll. Especially not sold this way. Drugs tend to be "discounted" when sold in bulk amounts, even more so when seller will not break full amount.

the parent issue is confusing. If you have that much drugs around you have them well hidden and parents won't be an issue.
It could be drugs but wouldn't you list them as xx number of one kind and xx number of another? Like 23 penguins and 13 unicorns? That would make more sense but who knows with these sick fucks. They could be selling exotic animals they smuggle in for rituals. Harder to hide a shit ton of real animals than a stash of drugs than it is a box of stupid beanie babies.

Yes drugs would be listed differently, at least as far as I can conclude. I absolutely cannot figure out what drug would fit into this context quantity wise and price range. Pills maybe on the price but, quantity a bit much to be selling as a whole tho.
If there was anything about being able to provide a quantity list or inventory, I would be more convinced of the possibility it could be individual items. Something about this screams one item to me. If I'm buying almost 500 of something, even actual beanie babies, I'm going to want to know which ones are there, even more so if I'm paying that amount. But that's just me.
Also for shits and giggles I looked up beanie baby collection for sale ads, all of those have or mention they will provide a list of included bears, none of them go much above $3-$4 dollars per bear unless it's a special one. To be honest, the ones I can only assume are legitimate, actually match how drugs would be sold more then this one (not saying they are, just pointing out the difference)

Did some googling on xtc prices in the US. $20 per pill doesn't seem uncommon in the results I found ... probably has a lot to do with region and quality. For Europeans, it's incredibly expensive, yes :)
