    [SALE] Considering selling my stash

    Due to Covid I have been out of work for 6 1/2 months with no return in sight. Depending on how tight things get, I might need to start selling off some of my balloon stash. I also don't get to play with them due to being stuck at home with my family and I am of the mindset of them getting enjoyed versus them slowly degrading over time.

    A lot of my collection is still readily available at various online retailers so price on those would be comparable to them. What I am curious about is what folks would be willing to pay for Q24's.

    I'm not pulling the trigger on selling anything yet, just wanting to poll the community.

    Thanks!

      All sorts! Right now trying to gauge what people would be willing to pay for the Q24's. Not selling anything yet. Ebay has them for $5 each. Not sure if people are actually buying them at that price point or not.

        I'd be willing to pay that price for pinks, blacks, and light blues, but not other q24 colors. Just my personal preference, though-- I'm sure you could find buyers for the others.

          Re: Considering selling my stash

          I have decided to sell my stash. Due to Covid dropping my play time to practically zero and me not really getting any enjoyment out of them anymore, I feel that they would be better suited to go to those who would get use out of them. I will be posting a list once I get pricing figured out.

                    Re: Considering selling my stash

                    Alright folks. I have compiled a price list for my balloon collection. Some of the balloons are over 5 years old while others were made this year. All have been stored in a cool dark place since purchase (gotta keep them hidden from the curious eyes of children!). Pricing is consistent with going rates on various balloon merchant websites. For the Q24's, I took the average of SOLD items on eBay and roughed them in from there. I need to compile a complete list based on current numbers with the small stash I plan to keep removed so please give me a few days to finish everything up before flooding my inbox with requests LOL.

                    Q24 $10-20 each, Cattex/Rifco Shapes/Rounds $2.50-7.00 each, Belbal 14" Balloons United prints $0.50 each, Belbal 24" $3.20 each.

                          Re: Considering selling my stash

                          And here is the list of Q24's. They have been stored in a cool dark place. I pulled out a few with obvious issues or got sticky. The rest are in good shape.

                          Clear x 16
                          Crystal Orange w/ "Looner" print x 1
                          Light Blue x 6
                          Orange x 16
                          Crystal Red x 11 (might be standard. did not inflate to check)
                          Crystal Yellow x 20
                          Crystal Blue x 5
                          Crystal Green x 2
                          Crystal Purple x 3
                          Red w/ Happy Valentine's x 6
                          Red w/ Daisies x 9
                          Clear w/ Hearts x 8
                          Pink w/ Roses x 5
                          Pink w/ Hearts x 7

                          Don't beat me up over color naming. Just keeping it consistent with the previous post lol. No special Qualatex color names. Again, PM with your request and I will get back to you in the order received with cost. Shipping is $10 for anywhere in the US.

                          Thanks for looking! I don't have the time, place or desire anymore to play like I used to and I would rather my fellow looners get some enjoyment out of these balloons before they are no longer useable.

                              Still have a bunch of Q24's and other balloons available. Going to give it another couple weeks for forum folks to reach out before I start listing them on eBay.
