Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

My wife has a collection of 21 very nice teddy bears from the 70s and 80s that we don't have room for. They've been in boxes for decades. I'm having trouble finding a home for them. I hate to just put them on the street, as I'd rather a collector have them. There are bears from Colleen Tipton, North American Bear Co, Faroy, and others. Any advise as to where I could connect with someone on these? eBay doesn't seem like a good place to give things away, especially because I wouldn't want to pay for shipping.

Thanks,
John
