Question about Dudley tips / Milk Duds

IntoTheRail said:
Yeah im a nit. I happen to like my money and dont want to pay a 3000% percent markup for an elkmaster that has been soaked and pressed.

I may just make one at some point in the future. Maybe I will make the worlds best milk dud in all the land. Then I will sell them at cost just to **** everybody else over. Cuz im a nit like that.

Do us all a favor. Go around your house and throw away everything you bought that was marked up at least 100% from its manufacturing cost. Then, when you're done, walk to the library, apply for a library card, and use one of their computers to tell us how you had to throw away your computer, and 90% of your other belongings. It's called the freaking economy.

If swarms of people are willing to buy something for $4 each (like Jeff's Mild Duds), then the economy states that the product in question is WORTH $4.

Here's the beauty of it, are you ready? If you're unsatisfied with the price of something, if you feel like it's too expensive, or not "worth it" ... DON'T BUY IT.

By the way, let us all know when you make your own Milk Duds, because I'm sure we're all going to be anxious to try them out.

I think your guide is very close Joey. One size (tip height) does not fit all. Some like them harder and some like them softer. Offering a choice is the ticket. You can not say X brand is better no matter the price because it simply is not true for everyone. A $2 or $4 dud could easily play just as good or better as the $10 dud for your tastes.

I'm not here to try to sell you on Jeffs (or anybody elses) milk dud tips. I will say however, that even with the so called 1,000% markup, you're still getting a tip that is at least $10 less than many of the other tips out there that come close in quality.
A good deal is a good deal.

Milk Duds

I actually think you gave yourself the best answer of all , make some yourself, seems like a no brainer, you may even be able to market them and become a millionaire or at least you will have a nice tip for little money , which would please most people. I usually just go dumpster diving and find an old leather belt and cut a chunk off and wrap it around the end of my cue, if it was good enough for Mingaud it's good enough for me.
