Though they seem so basic now, at the time Furbies were released they were way ahead of their time in the robotic toy category. Furby hit the shelves in 1998 and it seemed like literally every kid had to have one. A toy that could interact with you? It was almost like having your own pet. Without, you know, having to worry about the maintenance of an actual pet.
Furbies were actually not that cheap when they were released twenty years ago. At first, they started at around $35, but soon soared to close to $100 when demand outweighed supply. Well, now it's time to get your revenge. Go to your parents' house and rifle through that old box of your stuff in the attic. Your original Furby could now sell for more than $1,000.
