Look in the bath section at Wall Mart. They come in brushed and shinny. These are brushed.
Only problem is they do not nest very well. Not bad for 7 dollars each. Click here to view attached image.
After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one.

I've had sets of both in the museum for more than a year. Did you scope out the matching wastepaper baskets?

I didn't go for the matching wand.
Some enterprising entrepreneur sold a set of those Wal-Mart cups on eBay a while back.

Yes, they have attic space. I just placed 3 3/4 balls there.
Also, I simply posted this for fun. I realize that these are not professional grade. I apologize for my enthusiasm. I assure you it will not happen again.

No need to apologize at all. These cups have been mentioned here before, but I doubt that you could track them down through the search feature. We often mention "found" cups, which is what we call this kind of cup, on the forum.
On any given day, if you live in a reasonably decent sized town, you can walk into Wal-Mart, Ross, CVS, Walgreen's, Party City, Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, Marshall's, Target, or a host of other stores and find metal, wooden or plastic cups that are good for the cups and balls. Or you can get them free at Starbuck's. I can tell, though, that you have not been to the cups and balls museum. You really need to sign up for it. You will see many examples of found cups in the museum. It's free.

There is no "found" section. The found cups are in with the other cups the same size. If you go into the search engine, there are presently four different categories of found cups. However, I will be condensing these down to one search term, so you can find them all at once.
I went back to the search engine and realized that I don't have all the found cups listed as such. The Wal-Mart cups are listed by their manufacturer, Inox. Looks like I need to update some cups and categories!

Don't be discouraged by our little jabs, it's nothing personal. It's just there is one section on the Café' where people have basically built their entire show on common props like these and in the same breath curse those of us who spend excessive ammounts of money on our props or make such props. Again, I'm sorry if it seemed like I attacked your good will to share this, but you see I'm just as guilty as others as I scuddle over to the to kitchen and toiletry sections just to see if they have any cool looking stuff, the toilet brush was just a joke, nothing personal. Hell, Pete Biro uses a toilet plunger for the Benson bowl routine, very great if you haven't seen it. Your enthusiasm was and is appreciated and just gave an oppertunity to have some harmless fun added onto it. Again I appologize if I discouraged or insulted you. Best Jake

Starbucks also used to make stainless steel shot glasses, very easy to gaff for a pocket chop cup.
Occassionaly they still use the cups that gaddy mentioned for special coffees or even sometimes samplers depending on which store you go to.

I'm going to be revamping certain parts of the database over the next week or so to accommodate some things like found cups and most recent additions.
Actually, Michael will be doing this. I'll be applauding in the background.
