How much would you pay for these balloons?
I made Disney Cars balloons for DS's birthday party. I used them as centerpieces tied to hellium balloons. You can also attached them to favors or give them out at the party.
I would like to try and sell them on Ebay or Etsy to make some extra money on the side. Do you think it will sell? Would you buy them for a kids party? And how much would you pay for them?

They are adorable, nice job! If you sold them on etsy or ebay, how would you ship them?

I think it would be hard to ship those. Especially in the heat. They would probably pop? You could try to sell them locally though, as a pick up/delivery type thing.

I would ship them in a box stuffed with tissue paper. Even if they drop the box it's not going to break. The only thing is after.
How much should I list them for? Between the balloon twisting and sharpie detailing it takes half hour for each. The balloons and hand pump are cheap but the color sharpies are expensive. But one pen should last awhile.

I had one sitting in my car for a week in this heat and it did not pop. They're not hellium balloons. just filled with regular air. They do deflate a bit after a week or two. I will have to make sure they are inflated to the max when I make then.
ETA. I will try selling the locally first. I didn't think there would be a high demand for them. Thank you.

I realize they aren't helium. I just know that we have had regular balloons from Friendly's left in the car and they have popped.
There are a lot of local buy/sell swap groups on FB. I would try there.
I would probably pay around $7 or so for one

I'd suggest $5-$10 each before shipping.

They are adorable.
I'd be afraid of the popping/deflating too - we get balloon animals occasionally from restaurants and have left them in our car and they don't hold up well.
I would definitely try to sell locally first.
