Are cake dummies reusable...or is it a one time thing??? just bought 7 of them...they were really cheap...this is why i'm asking...i could see them being this cheap for one use...but mulitple???
Sounds like you got a good bargin.....they sure are reusable! I don't know what you use to cover your cakes i.e buttercream or sugarpaste. They are absolute great for doing practice cakes and adding subility to tiered cakes (i.e used on the base/middle or top tier to add height).
If you do use buttercream, I would suggest that you cover the dummy with cling film as the butter will leave it oily. With sugarpaste (fondant), you don't have to wrap dummy in cling flim, when icing has harden you can just soak it off.
I hope this answers your question. 
When I saw the title I thought you were calling me a Dummy 
I love using dummies. I use to wrap them, now I just frost as is, the frosting washes off.
If you want to keep 50 yrs. use RI I have one that I could toss out the window and it would come out fine 
Now, I use BC. There is a Cake Decorating shop that I sometimes go to that has a decorated dummy cake on display for over 25yrs. It looks nasty because of the years of dust and some of the frosting came off from moving around. I don't now why they don't replace it.

they like the old musted look...
i would hope the rest of their products aren't that old...haha... 
I used Crisco-buttercream recipe and I don't wrap my styrofoams with anything. My BC crusts pretty quick and after it's been on there a few days, it's actually as hard a royal icing. I just cleaned one off that I'd had decorated since April '06 ..... just ran a knife under the hard icing and it popped right off....nice and clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth and it was ready to go!
the dallas foam website has whimsical dummies...they look so cool...but i'm moving in less than a yr....so i'm trying to keep my dummies down below 7...i already have so much to move...
