This Depreciation Assessment is based on material received from an affiliated agency, originally titled “Precious Moments Figurines Value in 2025: What Are They Really Worth?” published at worthless.cc.

The query concerns the current market value of so-called Precious Moments figurines — those teardrop-eyed ceramic knickknacks.

The short answer is as follows: the value is negligible to non-existent.

These items were never an investment; they were a retail transaction with sentimental markup.

Any claim that your mother’s shelf collection constitutes a retirement fund is a fallacy rooted in the same optimism that buys extended warranties on toasters.

The original source poses the question, “Are these little tear-shaped faces…” and the answer is a resounding no.

Depreciation is total. Resale appeal is zero. Most secondary market listings go unsold at any price.

If you have inherited such a collection, your best course of action is to donate them and claim a tax deduction — if you can find a charity that will accept them.

Otherwise, factor in disposal costs. The landfill value is slightly negative after transport fees.

This assessment reflects the current market reality as of 2025. No upward revision is expected.

Signed,

Vincent “Depreciation” Hale, Senior Appraiser of Regret, Department of Random Domain Management.
