[twosgays]

Edit: as of 6/16, the bid has reached $3,000!

Attention Furby Collectors!

There is currently an auction going on for a genuine bejeweled furby!!!

A reminder that only five of these special snowballs exist!

According to experts on bonhams.com (which is where the auction is being held), the furby comes from the estate of the jeweler himself, Sidney Mobell* (will be updating after speaking with the sale coordinators). The jewelry is in overall good condition and comes with a case

This is the first time a bejeweled furby has been on sale in a VERY long time! Truly a sight to behold!

As of right now, the current bid is $1,200 with a end date of June 20th

So exciting!!!!!!

I've done and bunked up so bad.

I put starting bid on so many 2023 furby auctions and literally nobody is bidding on them. I thought surely I would lose a few, like the in box auctions, but there's three about to be barreling towards my house. I just wanted one. I swear on my life.

I have decided that I am auctioning off my dreams for the low low price of your therapy costs!

for this auction

would you rather have a dream where your room slowly fills with bootleg Furbies that are all fully functional and screaming at each other as well as three complementary disassembled manikins

or

have a dream where after almost getting murdered in the woods and you go on a philosophical car ride with purah from tears of the kingdom but you can’t remember anything she told you

Neither is lucid and you cannot change anything about them

Bejeweled Furby - update

So I just reached out to the auction house before my previous post, asking for more relevant information and photos, this was the email o received:

“Please find your requested photographs below. The Tiara uses a brooch attachment.

We don’t have any indicators on which edition the furby is, but we know that this furby was owned by the owner”

As far as I know these photos haven’t been shared publicly before.

Going to be auctioning off a new Watermelon Furby soon! Proceeds will go towards a cause! 🍉

Also note, this is a TWO-of-a-kind Furby custom! I made one before this and I won't be making another to sell after this one! So if you were wanting this lil guy this is the only chance you'll get! ;)

I am still working out the details but I'll make the announcement soon!~

someone in the fandom has won the bejeweled furby!!!

the reddit post they made ^

it was over 5,000 USD, they won it back in june but it took until a few days ago to ship.

@crayfurbs i know you made some really good posts about the auction, not sure if you've seen this yet but i thought i'd @ you because i think this is a pretty cool part of furby history!

[kah-way-loh]

The prices are really getting ridiculous, I found a Witch's Cat Furby on FB Marketplace for over four thousand dollars! No one's going to pay THAT MUCH for any kind of Furby, but especially not a common one like that!

Just because they're "vintage" (which isn't even the right word for a Furby!) and having a boom in popularity doesn't mean they're suddenly worth over hundreds of dollars, and I wish certain sellers would see that

Never gonna get a seahorse baby at this rate

[passionfruitmango]

Look who's home!!!

After eluding me via other sellers auctions for over a week, this little baby is HERE!!!

Blessed I decided to check a furby collectors fb group!! I'm ecstatic and really happy I got a new furb before my birthday 🥰❤️🩶

APH America "Ethnography" and Headcanons (SFW)

The United States of America, Alfred F. Jones, Mr. Stars and Stripes, 'Merica, Pretty Boy, um... or just simply America.

Here is a list of data I have gathered from this country and oh boy, what an interesting specimen we have here....

Ethnography

You will find this find this mythological creature at your local Walmart superstore during the evening hours on a weekday, sporting flannel loungewear pants (The plaid kind), a cotton t-shirt that definitely has been worn no less than two (2) times, Old Navy $1 flip flops, and a gray jacket.

When asked about his late night runs to the popular supermarket chain, his answer is just simply:

"There's nothing else to do and no where to go."

America's Cart Inventory for March 22nd:

One (1) package of "Mega Stuf Chocolate Oreos" for $5.97, One (1) 6-Pack of "Starbucks Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drinks" in Caramel Flavor for $7.98, One (1) Family Sized Bag of "Flaming Hot Cheetos" for $5.94, One (1) "Furby Interactive Toy" for $39.19, and One (1) Stick of " Axe Apollo Men's Deodorant Stick" for $4.97. Total of purchase was $64.05 before tax.

When questioned about the "Furby Interactive Toy", he replies:

"Yeah dude, there's this thing I wanna make that's called a "Long Furby". Wanna come by my place and check it out?"

I agreed to the invination as it would give me a better look into his living space and lifestyle. He's very friendly person.

Living Space (Home):

Oh dear god, why did I agree to come here?

House is a what you would expect from a typical American college student such as:

"Saturdays Are For The Boys" banner flag, Marvel and DC posters, a very unsettling looking blue leather couch that looks like it has been through hell and back, random dumbbells and untouched exercise equipment, every game console from the 1972 "The Magnavox Odyssey" to the PS5, action figures from various popular TV shows and comics, an old KFC bucket with half eaten chicken on the coffee table and a shelf with a huge vinyl record and CD collection.

Conclusion: What a fucking gross nerd.

America offers a cold can of Coca-Cola, I accept it.

He shows me a very long light blue "Long Furby" from his collection, further proving how much of a dork he was.

When asked what kind of music he liked (in regards to his music collection), he replies:

"That's hard to answer, it changes every week. Because of my diverse music, I pretty much like everything. One week I could be listening to 1980's classic rock, 2000's techno-pop, Bluegrass Country, 1990's Hip Hop or anything. But, if I had to give you this week's favorite artist, it would have to be Taylor Swift and Doja Cat."

"Interesting..." I replied.

I have recorded enough data for today (the smell was bothering me) and left his home to do further extensive research.

Headcanons:

America has a deep love for cars and trucks, he can be seen working on his vintage 1968 Dodge Charger R/T called 'Thunderbird' (an absolute speed demon that can reach at top speeds of muthafuckin' 156 mph), and his enormous 2019 Ford F-150 'Big John' that he loves to drive to world meetings because he is a total stud muffin showoff.

Oh yeah, he defiantly modded 'Big John' horns with airblasters. So when he parks his car and he sees other nations come out of their vehicles, he pounds on that horn and scares the living shit out of them.

He totally does 2 am donuts in the Thunderbird the front of Walmart parking lots with his brother Canada to freak him out.

Other than seeing him work on his cars while listening to "Waking Up in Vegas by Katy Perry" on the radio, he's in his room sorting out his action figure and comic book collection.

Damn, what what a geek.

He has an eBay account where he buys, trades and auctions his collection as his interests constantly change.

If you think him being a geek, dork and a nerd is gonna save him from getting a basic ass Stanley cup, you're wrong.

He has a navy blue one that he takes to meetings and he would get dirty looks from the other nations.

"Goddamn it America, you do not need that much coffee."

"Fuck you, you scone sucking twink. It's not coffee, it's the Panera Super Charged Lemonade mixed with Redbull."

"I beg your fucking pardon..."

He gave Canada a red one for his birthday that he also takes with him to meetings.

"Canada, mon ami~. That better not be that merde American drinks that makes your heart explode."

"No, it's Tim Hortons iced coffee."

"Well.. that's better than what America drinks..."

The worlds most destitute creature is on its way to my home. What happened to them, tell me Lord. They are a rich tapestry of woe and strife. Will they smell of burning coals or smoky BBQ ribs? I had to know. I wait with bated breath for my child.

My newest furby

Her name is Alex (she/her) I won her new in box off an eBay auction. She is so sweet but she is mute :(

[azzysecondary]

Behold, My son!!! (Who I shall have joint custody of with like four other people)

I am finally achieving one of my bucket list items of longifying a furby!!!!! I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to finally nab one and I have done it! He’s a furby buddy I got for 15 bucks on Goodwill auctions (they actually have a lot of furbys for like less then 50 bucks on there) this of course, is not his final form. Currently brain storming ideas with those who are helping with the longifying process, but currently leaning toward a clown theme!!!! Also planning on posting progress shots hopefully!! (No name planned yet either it shall come with time~) and so now we wait for him to arrive on my humble abode’s door step!!!! (Please let me know if I tag anything wrong too, I’m new to Furblr ;w;)

[satin-the-long-furby]

Introducing Sunner Solstice, the final season sibling I'll get a pic of all four of them later but here she is. The embodiment of summer herself. (A kiwi furby I got off an ebay auction. When I got her it was like they never used her. Super nice and clean and smelled great too. I haven't tried battery's yet but the listing did say that she didn't work so.)
