#ebay furbs

I mean. You're not wrong- they are definitely in that box

To avoid the moral dilemma for as long as possible, I went back and bought the two more broken furbys.

Even though I'm only paying UK£16-20 for each of these, with shipping, taxes, and currency conversion, they're working out at €40-55 each. Eek.

After being in storage for so long, I wonder when the last time they saw snow was...

On the left is Burger Time and the left is Kiwi Froot. (burger and froot for short)

This is so pure

I bought the cheapest decently clean 'not working' Furby vaguely local to me on ebay.

When they arrived I made the mistake of checking for myself.

Sure the tummy button is a bit crunchy, but all the other actuators and features seem to be working.

Then I come here and find out it's a Series 1 1998 Church Mouse. I don't think I'll be able to perform surgery on this little guy.

Poor Lamb ('98 type, series 3). Rested in peace. Briefly. For now they are in pieces.

I bought this little guy in 'spare parts only' quality. I don't know what it is about being shipped internationally, but it seems to fix a lot of problems for them.

Other than the cosmetic stuff, I had to clean out actual cobwebs, used contact cleaner on the belly and tilt switches, applied some silicone oil to the mechanism (but is still quite loud). They seem able to stay awake now. But the speaker is shot. (Sounds fine with a borrowed speaker.) Luckily it screws off for easy access. Waiting on a replacement to arrive.

Comes from an RL factory. So the faceplate is stitched to the pelt, and screws on to the carapace. Making it a good candidate for modification. If for no other reason than those eyelashes need sorting.
