We assume that by $30, you mean paying at or near the suggested list price. Depending on the pricing scheme of a specific retailer, you may have to shell out a little more. Regardless of the final price, here are some sources to check for unowned Furbys: The official Furby page has a list of retailers that carry the toy. Unfortunately, as you are probably aware, most of these retailers are sold out of the cuddly animatronic plaything. Still, this list couple d with your local phonebook may be your best bet for tracking down an unowned Furby. The only online toy store that appears to carry Furbys is FAO Schwartz, but at the time of this writing, their Web site indicates that they're sold
out and they're not taking any new orders. On the upside, anyone who placed an order before October 28 should receive their toy before Christmas. Even though it looks unlikely that FAO will be carrying Furbys in the immediate future, you still might want to bookmark the site in case additional quantities become available. Another way you might use the Net to get the inside track on the great Furby rush of 1998 is to keep up on press coverage of the phenomenon. Yahoo! News provides a constantly updated collection of current news stories and related Web sites under their Ful l Coverage imprint. If you regularly check the Furby Fever page, you just might be a hot lead on new supplies in your area.
Finally, if you simply must have a Furby at any price, there are hundreds of the little varmints flying off the virtual shelves at online auction houses like eBay and Yahoo! Auctions.
