Beanie Babies were irrational because it is irrational to go into a collector craze over stuffed animals

unless more people want them than exist

  • No, because wanting them is an artificially engineered, irrational thing based on their hype not their value

    • the entire art and collectibles markets has functioned the same way for half a millennium, there is nothing to support utility based value
