my best friend is getting married 2 months before me and we’re kicking around the idea of splitting the cost (they’re pricey) and then selling them afterwards. Ebay, WB classifieds, something like that. Obviously we couldn’t ask for full price, but do you think theres a lot of brides out there willing to buy them? Don’t want to get stuck with them.

She wants the 9.5″ ones for the ground (outdoor wedding) and I’d like the 3.25″ ones to scatter throughout (indoor wedding). Colors are programmable.

I love those, and if they were in our budget, I would totally have gone with those. I like the larger ones. I am using lit up lanterns around our dance floor.

the 3.25″ ones are $186 for a case of 48. If I offered them up for maybe..$125, think anyone would buy them? Would I have to go down to $100? You said they weren’t in your budget, so whats a budget friendly number for resale? The only way I can afford them is if I sell them afterwards…but they fit our theme to a tee. I have to have them.

They totally would have fit our theme also. I would offer them up at as close to cost as you can then let them offer you less. I buy a ton of stuff of off CL and always offer less.

ok…thanks bees. since they’re so expensive, i’m just a little hesitant. when my best friend told me she liked them too, i got so excited!
just wasnt sure if this would be a good item for resale. i’m confident now. cool!

jesus. thats ummmm quite a honeymoon. we did 26 shows last year so we need to take it easy since theres wedding costs now.
did hershey, doing both harts/spacs, great woods, and them cam2 and mpp1. i cant afford the time off to do cam1 and mpp2. hoping for a decent fall tour though…or…dare i say a new england fest? glad the 2010 indio rumors were squashed, we cant afford to go out there again, but we had a fvckin blast.
i’m thinkin the smaller orbs scattered throughout (tabletops, etc) and then the larger ones up near the stage. i’d have to actually see them to figure out if its possible to hang them from the chandelier. i have no clue how heavy these things are.
i PMd you with my phish thread from a few days ago. Place card table? hell no. we’re directing our guests to WILL CALL.
