What is my Furby worthVintage Furby value

The short answer

Most original Furbies from 1998 to 2000 are worth a modest amount loose, and clearly more when they still work, have their tag or come in the unopened box. Special and limited versions are worth more than the common colours. Check what the same version recently sold for, not what sellers ask.

Which Furby do you have?

The first Furby came out in 1998 from Tiger Electronics. Later came new colours, special editions, Furby Babies and the newer Furbies from 2005, 2012 and after. The original models from 1998 to 2000 are the ones collectors look for most. The year and maker are printed on the label and on the bottom of the toy.

What decides the value

  • Does it work? A Furby that wakes up, talks and moves its eyes and ears is worth clearly more. Check the battery compartment: corrosion lowers the value a lot.
  • Box and tag. An unopened box is worth the most. A loose Furby with its original tag still on is worth more than one without.
  • Fur and face. Clean, full fur and undamaged eyes and beak matter.
  • The version. Special and limited editions are worth more than the common colours.

How to check it yourself

Search for the exact colour and version and filter on sold items. Compare like with like: boxed with boxed, working with working.

Selling it to us

Send a photo of the Furby, the label and the battery compartment, and tell us whether it works. You get an offer within one working day. We also buy whole boxes of 90s toys.

Is a Furby that does not work worth anything?

Yes, but less. Collectors still buy non-working Furbies, especially boxed or rare versions, but a working one is worth clearly more.

Should I put new batteries in before selling?

Yes, if the battery compartment is clean. Remove the batteries again before you ship it.

Do you buy newer Furbies too?

Mostly the originals from 1998 to 2000. Send a photo of newer ones and we tell you honestly if we can use them.
