Q&A for How to Sell Slime

No, it is not illegal, though I would suggest telling the buyer about the ingredients that are in the slime, in case they have allergies or have little ones who could consume the slime. You could possibly be sued if someone was harmed by your slime.

No, but it is recommended that you are 10 and above to sell it with your parent's permission.

You have some good advice here. Make slime and sell it for a bit of a higher price, and then use your profits to buy more supplies for slime. Some things in your house may even be useful. If you have laundry detergent, glue, contact solution, and salt (or sugar), ask your parents if you can use these items to get started.

Slime shops add glitter, sequins, or even candies for extras. you could also include a little bit of activator, in case it gets sticky. You would have to pay to ship it to someone, so be sure to include that cost in your price.

You could make it and package it in air tight containers. After that, you should ask an older family member to help you with the shipping.

Yes, unless you have the person buying it pay the cost of shipping.

It would be best to sell many different types of slime. Record what people buy to figure out what they like the best, and maybe raise the price some for some of the kinds that are most popular.

You shouldn't need any kind of permit or license to sell slime, especially if you're just selling it to people you know. If you're setting up an account on a website to sell slime online, get an adult to help you.

You could start by asking your teachers if you could sell your slime at a school event/book fair. My friend tried this and it was a big hit. Just make it cheap and good quality.

You can think about some funny things people will like. What interests you? What do you like? Jot some ideas down on paper and pick your favorite.

It depends on the type of slime, but I suggest anywhere from .25 to $1 per ounce.

That is a pretty unrealistic goal. Start small and gradually expand your slime empire.

Just make sure it's in a nice container and that you made it quite recently. Otherwise, it can turn sticky quite quickly.

Make a few batches of slime or as many as you think you may need and then set up a slime stall. You could just get a table and lay out containers of slime, then price them on the container or on a poster. Make sure your stall is eye-catching so it attracts attention from others. If you price the slime too high, not many people will buy. Remember, both the quality and quantity matters in this case.

Yes. You wouldn't want to run out of stock when there is a high demand for it.

You don't need a credit card. Sell it to your friends at school or in your neighborhood. Ask your parents to ask their coworkers if any of their kids might want to buy some slime.

Yes, you do. You can go to your local post office and ask if they can box the slime and mail it to the address you provide.

No, it's not. You can mail slime to people who buy it from you in your local post office.

You can have a little stand outside your house or somewhere local.

It depends on what you want to do. If you are going to start an online store, it could be free, depending on the service you use. If you are going to have a store front, it would cost a lot of money. If you sell at school, you just have to make sure you have permission from the authorities.

You can hold a lemonade stand outside, or sell other food items that I'm sure many people will buy. Something else to keep in mind is to go to a place where it would be smart to hold a stand, say a park. People might be tired if they're jogging and will want something to refresh them.

Yes, it is, but you should make it clear that your slime contains borax.

You could always go door-to-door and market your slime to your neighbors that way.

If your parents won't let you make slime, then you probably can't sell it. Maybe you could make and sell something else, like friendship bracelets?

You would sell it at a cheaper price than you normally would.

Naming your slime with interesting and intriguing names will get people interested. Also adding scents, glitter, and beads will give different textures and types. And unicorn slime will grab their interest!

Depending on how much slime you are selling, and if it is good quality, it might sell for $2 if others are willing to pay this.

Ask your parents if you can do some chores to earn some money. Or, ask if they mind paying for the ingredients. Say you'll give them half of the money from the profits from selling the slime. Just make sure this isn't a repeated request and be sure and that you can pay for the ingredients next time.

You need to keep track of the orders because you need to make sure that each one got sent out and that you didn't forget anybody's order. It also helps you to keep a tab on the costs of your ingredients and your prices.

If your parents give you allowance or you have enough money for supplies, ask an aunt or an older sibling to buy them online for you, and you can pay them back with your money. Remember to buy in bulk!
