Why are some furby booms more expensive on Amazon than others? Is it just based on popularity of the colors/patterns?

My understanding is that independent vendors base their price on popularity, if its hard to find, special edition or simply to jack-up the price. Retail stores sometimes have better prices since these are old toys but again you might not find them anymore...

i've found prices jump around on amazon based on how many times i browse items. maybe it's some clever data-tracking way to monitor my browsing and then coerce me to purchase a particular item because of fear the price is going to continue to increase, but also maybe it's just difference in suppliers as amazon draws from different suppliers for many products. are you sure the supplier is the same at $87 as the supplier was for your first purchase?

And to answer Chummie's question about why the DryBuddy is so inexpensive, it probably is because DryBuddy is not greedy. "Affordable Innovations" is their appropriate motto. Your Chummie alarms probably cost you about as much as the DryBuddyEZ, but you sell them for a price 2 to 3 times higher. You, and most reasonable readers, realize that you are scalping the unwitting customer. Greed is your privilege, but it is obvious that your pricing is outrageous. You are selling very little on competitive sites (think of Amazon's chief competition) where you cannot influence opinions with fake reviews and other hype.

Holiday "supply and demand." Basically when Amazon is out of stock, the prices listed are from 3rd party sellers via Amazon Marketplace and NOT directly from Amazon (even if the order is fulfilled by Amazon). Personally, I think the retail of $39.99 is WAY overpriced for the Lego Friends Pool. However, I managed to snag the sale price of $27.99 a few days ago!!! Walmart.com (site to store is a fab option, and the website is STILL offering the in-store lower price!) and Target.com were both offering this set at that sale price (tho the retail price was actually showing in store) and Amazon offered that price when the item was back in their inventory (as Amazon has been doing with most hot toys). My advice is to save the item you want to your shopping cart and buy when it's at the price you're happy with. You can also bookmark the Amazon page and keep an eye on the price (keep checking throughout the day). Another option is just to get it AFTER the holidays, once all the shopping frenzy has passed!

My understanding is that all newly purchased Furby's come with a manufacturers warranty. (My friend returned her faulty one that she purchased for her son from Amazon and they - being Amazon - replaced it.)

I suggest using camelcamelcamel.com in the future to help track the price of an item in Amazon.It shows you the highest, lowest, and average price of any item. You can watch the pattern and know when it is the right time to buy.

I don't believe there is any difference. The cheaper price is probably due to the high sales volume Amazon generates for them.

I don t have the furby. I live in Braziland here, a furby cost $300. So i bought this one on the amazon. My kids liked it very much. They are using the same app of the furby. They are smaller, they don t move theirs mouth and they only speak furbish. But for the price i m very happy and so my kids.

I noticed the same thing. It's a popular toy, but this price is double what it was in stores and online when it was available.

It depends on the seller, I went through a few different seller to find one that had more than one color in stock to choose from. You can also look towards the bottom of that item's page where Amazon will list similar items and you'll be able to see other colors and click on it. The price and seller may be different.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

Not sure why, may be a pricing error as I only paid $4 for mine. They are ok . I don't think they fair and better/worse than the more expensive ones when they are $4. At $14, seems pretty steep of a price. Might as well go to your local pet store and probably pay $10-12 and have right away.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

Thanks for your question! There is some crossover between Amazon catalogs, with some items being available for order at more than one of our websites. It's our goal to offer you the best selection at the best prices, regardless of where you live but in some cases it'll be more economical to order from one of our sites over another. There are many factors that can cause a price difference such as exchange rate and import costs. I'd recommend that you compare the available options on both sites and choose the combination of speed, price and availability that best suits your needs. I hope this helps!

KJ is correct, some colors are definitely more popular than others and supply becomes an issue. Logically, it would make sense that all colors are the same price. If you have any further questions, please let us know...Ice Cold Mist.com

It's as big as the ones they say are for multiple cats. As forPrice, cause they can is my best guess!!! We compared features andSize and nothing accounts for the large price disparity.
