    More obscure pellet info please, prior to them being offered for sale.

    .
    As it says above, anybody know anything about any of these pellets please, as they are in my collection, yet are unknown to me and if they have any value, they may be contenders for the transfer list, as were the Bimoco pellets yesterday, as I have been offered some very old, vgc Wasp tins that I want, so could do with raising some readies.

    Both these tins are for .22 cal pellets, and the Harpers Gun & Tackle pellet tin has approx 250 of its original content with it, whereas the Nickerson tin is empty. Thanks in anticipation of your knowledge and freely given price advice and information . Atb: G.

    Ps. As an aside here, on the Harpers tin, it says Harpers, 58 Railway Road, Downham Market. Anyone know if this shop still exists ???

    Doh! Had a blonde moment. Of course I know of Nickerson pellets, but for some reason my very tiny brain lost the relevant recall access code . Still up for info on Harpers however. Anyone ???

    Hi Gareth, You don't half get some weird ones..

    Before I say anything....I must emphasise there is no "blue book" for pellets and tins, and they are highly subjective in value..I base my estimates quite a lot on Fleawotsit final sale prices, as apart from the odd auction, it is the main place for sales ...I watch and note all selling prices, and also search all over the web (and find stuff in the weirdest places)...I try to be fair and impartial, and imagine that I were bidding, and what would be a fair (totally different to maximum!) price I would pay.

    What I am getting at is that a exact same tin will sell for £10 one week, then £30 a few weeks later, and two tins the same age, by different companies (although containing the exact same pellets!) may be 10 times different in "value"...

    O.K. then........a Nickerson tin like yours sold (empty) a few months ago for about £8, and I believe the other tin is a Nickerson Magnum Tin, with a dealer specific label (twin ring pointed jobbies), as the Magnum logo is exactly the same size and position as on the Nickerson tin;

    I paid around £10 (full) for this one.......contents do have a bearing on price, full and sealed being the most desirable in most cases.

    All said though, there maybe someone out there with some fond memory of that shop who would happily give you £20 or more, it really is hard to tell......like before, sorry if this is all a bit vague


    Anyway.......think you have problems???......I have got to sort this lot out

    As ever, thanks very much Ed, as once again, your info is greatly appreciated . Pellets other than Webley, BSA, and Eley, are out of my comfort zone you see, so I need sages like yourself to steer me straight . Not keen on e-wotsit in truth, so will place an advert for them on here later tonight ready for the weekend then, based on your starting prices, and see where we go. Finally, you got yer hands full sorting that lot matey, but I'll bet you have fun doing it . Ha ha. Atvb: G.
