Interest House M.D. Red & Grey oversized Tennis Ball (B.O.U.O)

[TomVDJ]

Just wanted to see if there is interest in a new run of Red & Grey 5 inch Tennis Balls like the one seen in House M.D.? Since I'm looking for a few myself and I don't seem to find them (only find them with a white House M.D. Logo on them), I'm in contact with a manufacturer who might be able to deliver them:
- 5 inch inflatable tennis ball
- Red & Grey colored
- Neelde point in the "seam" of the ball, like the screen used one

Don't know the price yet, but not a lot, I guess... probably shipping costs would be higher than the actual price of the ball itself (they'll ship from Belgium).
Just reply when interested (pending final price and pics off course).

Interested per the usual.

Mmmm, price is not as low as I expected. When I order 10 pieces, Price would be about $40. I'll see if this goes down when I order more...

Since you're in Europe, colour me interested!

There's not a lot of interest, so I'm afraid I'm not going through with this. I was looking to get a few replacements for 2 "leaking" tennis balls I have now, so in the meanwhile, I bought a small tube of this stuff:

I heard it can seal some minor leaks in footballs and other balls, so I'm going to test this with the leaking balls to see if this stuff can fix them.

To place a new order of these balls, I need at least 15 people interested to make it worthwile (= not to make a big loss on it myself).

Bumping this old WTB thread: still looking for those red grey tennis balls. The product above worked for a while, but is not that great...

Can you somehow just buy 5 inch tennis balls and bleach the color out of them completely and recolor them?


----edit----

balls $$
bleach $$
gray dye $$
red dye $$

never mind. seemed like a simple solution, but the costs add up.

The basic idea is not too bad... but how to dye both colors without making a mess? If it would be one color, it seems to work. Found this on tiktok:
