Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Local pickup platforms are essential due to size/weight: Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or OfferUp. Shipping via eBay would likely cost more than the item's value.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean the plastic with a magic eraser to remove scuffs. Test and install fresh batteries to demonstrate the sound effects, as this significantly increases value. Recommend replacing the taped foam covers with pool noodles for a cheap, clean fix before listing. Highlight 'local pickup' and 'smoke-free home' in the title.
