Tamagotchi

Remember Tamagotchis, the beeping critters you had to “feed” and care for regularly? Tamagotchis are toys that blend all of the best aspects of the 1990s. They are small egg-shaped electronic pets that gained prominence in 1997. Now they’re making a comeback for the new generation.

Some of them are pretty valuable these days. Some Tamagotchis sell for over $300, although it’s unlikely that yours will. Tamagotchi had over 40 different versions (lines), each with its own set of colors and variants. Right now, eBay vendors are selling 1996 Tamagotchi for anything ranging from $40 to $2,000. To be worth the trouble of reselling, your Tamagotchi would have to be one of the rarest models out of the 79 million sold.
