Tiger Layered TIPS..Who got the CHEAPEST PRICE?
- Thread starter CocoboloCowboy
- Start date
Regaaaaardless...you are saving a negligible amount.
I play
pretty consistently, and a Hercules H2 tip lasts me between 2 1/2 to 3 years.
I shape to begin with, and I do not grind on the tip like some do.
Egads, the price difference = 1 game on 9 ball challenge table.
The last time I needed a tip, I bought a couple from an AZ'r member, and also, Kevin Varney (yes, that Kevin) sent me one free.

Lets say store A's list price is 15.00. They sell them for 5.75. Store B's List price is 16.00. They sell them for 5.80 Do you really think list makes any difference? Or do you buy from store B because you save more off list price? But wait, what about shipping? So many decisions, what will you do? The world awaits your next crises.

CocoboloCowboy said:Now you got to buy over (6) + Pay Shippingso the NET Price is slightly higher, but here is the link.
You also got to call the 1-800-NUMBER.:grin:
Hope ever one got the word ATLAS has great prices, on MOST TIPS, and here is the 1-800 NUMBER
1-800-283-7845
If you have money to burn like some on the fourm, dson't call Atlas.
If you are looking for Low Prices, Great Service, and the TIP you want. Call em.
I alway find it easier to take the TIP with me to the Repair guy, rather than find out he is OUT of Stock the TIP I want.

Think you missed the point RickS, KV has done many nice things for Forum Members, he like other now is having rough times.
BTW did I will ask again:
"did you RickS negotiate for a best price, grind the dealer down, and did't walk in and pay full sticker for you last set of wheels you drive" Or did you walk in and pay sticker.......... or Sticker +????????????
Now let me make an observation about you RickS! you seem to avoid tough questions, as you seldom reply to MY Questions.
The car analogy does not work.
It is the difference between saving 1s vs. saving 1000s.

I don't have a problem answering any question...
I actually did almost pay full price for my last car purchase. I needed a van for my business, and wanted a Honda. Since the are the top rated van. They are also hard to find...The Dealers won't give them away. IF you want one, you pay for it.
I got them to throw in a few goodies...the optional sport wheels, window tint, and a couple of other smaller items.
I won't stop in the middle of the road to pick up a can, or bottle, or penny for that matter.
You only live once....the money won't do you a damn bit of good after you're gone.

Yep they don't deal much on Honda's but Honda's do hold their resale when you say bye bye to em.
I don't collect cans, or bottles, but will pick up any coins I find in my path.
Everest tip
I've tried the Sniper and it's not to my liking. I have only been using an Everest tip for about three or four weeks but I am really liking it. I think I will be moving entirely to Everest. Does anyone know what the hardness rating is for the Everest 10 layer tip?
Tips are like pool cues. There's one made especially for you.

Well I have always been a shopper, and that was the way I was raises, and we were poor. My parents, and grand parents all told me stories of their lifes during the depression. Must have sunk in real well.
Granted some things you just can not shop for, and in those cases you got to pay the asking price, or not have it.
That is the way Saturn use to sell cars. Not any more, Saturn has join the DISCOUNT/REBATE CLUB.
Guess I live by a Penny Saved is a Penny Earned. Plus Pennies add up to Nickels, Dimes, and eventually DOLLARS.:smile:
