Steiff
Animals For Sale
Steiff is a German-based plush toy company known for its high quality and
equally high prices. It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later
assisted by her brother Fritz. Steiff products are subject to meticulous
testing and inspection. They are required to be highly flame resistant and,
among other things, smaller pieces such as eyes must be able to resist
considerable tension, wear and tear, etc.
The most common materials used in Steiff toys are alpaca, felt, mohair and
woven plush. Eyes are generally made of wood or glass, and the stuffing
is commonly wood shavings or polyester fibers. A large amount of the
work is done by hand, from design sketches to airbrushed paint. The
final touch on any Steiff toy is the trademark "button in ear marked
Steiff" to keep counterfeits from being passed off as authentic toys.
I have been collecting Steiff animals for over 25 years. I primarily
specialize in dogs but I have many other animals in various sizes. Please check out my
Steiff animals that are for sale below. If you don't see a particular
animal or size you are looking for or would like more information or photos
for a specific piece, please email me.
All pieces are guaranteed authentic and supported with a 'no questions asked'
return policy. If you have any questions or see a particular piece you are
interested in, you can contact me at

Payment, Shipping,
Layaway & Return Policies
Payment Terms:
I accept personal checks, money orders, bank checks, Western Union, Bank Wire Transfer
(please add $15 to cover my bank fees) and PayPal (but for PayPal payments please add 4.6%
for international customers or 3.3% for US customers) to the total to cover my
PayPal fees). U.S. Postal Money orders, Western Union, Bank Wire
Transfer, and PayPal payments ship immediately. For personal checks, you
will need to allow 7-10 business days for your check to clear my bank.
U.S. Shipping, Handling and Insurance:
For U.S. sales, typically it will cost ~$6-$10 for the first
item (if under
2 lb) and
$2 per additional item, thereafter. Please
contact me for actual shipping/insurance/PayPal costs for your purchase
For U.S. sales, all items will be shipped via the
Post Office by priority mail (express or expedited shipment is also
available for an additional cost) and I will send you an email once your item
is shipped. Insurance is not included in the shipping cost and is
entirely optional for the buyer but is highly recommended. Please
realize that it will be your responsibility and your loss if the package
is lost or stolen if
you do not have insurance.
International Shipments/Customs:
For international sales, I will use regular Priority
airmail or Global Express Mail (EMS). I do recommend using EMS since
this service provides a tracking number and is automatically insured up to
$100 free of charge (additional insurance can be purchased but is
typically limited to $200-$500 depending on your particular country). Please realize if you use regular
priority airmail that
there is no way to find the parcel if it gets lost. EMS is well
worth the few extra dollars for having the tracking number and peace of
mind. For EMS shipments, please provide your phone number with your
purchase so this can be placed on the EMS label so you can be contacted if
there is any problem with your shipment or someone needs to contact you
for delivery. If you decide to use regular priority
airmail, you are unable to have insurance and accept all risks in the
shipment. Typically for a 1 lb item, shipping costs average
~$30 by Priority airmail
(4-6 weeks for receipt)
or ~$40 for Global Express (EMS) airmail which also provides a tracking
number (7-10 days for receipt) and includes up to $100 insurance.
For buyers who are from another country, payment can be made in several
ways and must be in U.S. dollars only: 1) Money wired through Western
Union, 2) International Postal Money Order, 3) Bank Check, 4) Bank Wire
Transfer (please add $15 to cover my bank fees) or 5) PayPal (but for PayPal payments please add 4.6%
to the total to cover my
PayPal fees).
Please contact me for actual
shipping/insurance/PayPal costs for your purchase
By purchasing an item you accept all
responsibility should the item violate your import regulation and is
confiscated or sent back. Please study
your laws to know what items can be legally shipped to you so the items
are not confiscated or sent back to me.
The customs value declaration and invoice amount must be the same, and
the customer is responsible in case of loss, stolen, damage or customs confiscation.
Please realize that YOU
are responsible for compliance with your local laws and that YOU warrant
the shipment is legal to your country. The buyer is responsible for ALL customs and duty fees
levied in the receiving country on any and all purchases. If a
package is abandoned in customs in the buyers country and is returned back
to me for lack of customs and or duty fees being paid and I have to pay
those fees plus shipping charges, the package will be held for one week,
after which, the package becomes the sole property of the seller.
Layaway:
I do offer layaway terms on any purchase. Layaway requires a
minimum of 10% of the total price as a down payment to initially to hold the item for
