You know, I am going to add this ... the 6", 8" & 10" jolly balls, you can order the ball itself on other sites for anywhere from $16. to $25 or so like on Amazon and other website. That's not where I order mine from at all. It is called the Teaser Ball, it has the green ball inside the outer ball and is meant for a dog toy. All you have to do is take out the green ball inside the jolly ball.
So you think the balls I sell with toys/hardware are expensive ... perhaps but you have to realize I have to make the toys which have a lot of toy parts on them and the tri-chain hardware is stainless steel. It is time consuming to make up the toys and I do have to make a little for my time & toy parts. So you are paying more so for the toys & hardware than the ball.
For the 14" ball ... you will NOT find ANY out on another website with the hole openings in the ball, none, zilch, nada only on my site will you find the 14" with holes. Now, doing the holes is time consuming and kills my back doing it. So I have to do extra work for the 14" ball size that I do not have to do for any of the other ball sizes.
I am sure as all get out that the Jolly Balls on my site will not sell as quickly as if it was the ball only but I am not what you call solely a buyer/seller of items. All my toys on my site have to be made and that requires labor to do so. I get the same thing where my stainless toys are concerned, I get some people out there stating how expensive the toys are and always want a discount ... ok, well then go make your own!

Wha... hey!
