I'm sure somebody will buy them.

They have Bill just packed them up but to be honest I have sold them at cost including kits, resin, stamps and postage to me they are seconds so I couldn't sell them for the full amount

Its not the moulds its the material it isnt flexible enough to get the plug out of the tube and they split its fine for the ordinary moulds

I am not sure that the home made stuff will be any more flexible, but if you look at the moulds that Smoker gave Ed you will see one that has removable plugs, that way the moulds don't need to be very flexible.

Silicone sealant molds

As Peter says look at the one a gave to Ed, they are dead simple to make
make a former paint with PVA inside, pump in the Silicone smooth the top
Soon to become bottom of mold with half a spud, and leave to cure for 48 hours
turn out, Proper Job!!
