The mold holds 36oz of oils so I used that much. I had purchased a butt load of shea a few months ago and figured I would use it to make the soap . It would definitely be an expensive bar of soap because of the cost of shea. So I don't believe it would be worth it to sell for $4 or $5, it would have to be a much higher priced bar to justify it, I think anyways. And who knows if anyone would purchase a higher priced bar of soap, but you never know! Angi
