    Old Pellet tins and boxes valuation please

    Can any members please assist me with a rough idea of the value of this small lot of vintage pellets?
    The BSA Pylarm tin only has a few pellets in it but the rest are either full or have reasonable amounts left.
    Thanks in advance.

    The 1,000 pellet Pylarms tin is interesting, the others less so.

    Hi, Eblag prices seem very stong at the moment, they go up and down in waves as new collectors start looking, or unusual or rare items appear and bidding wars start. But condition is everything and can mean a 10-20 fold difference in price.

    Really need to see the contents and better pics, especially of the Wasp tins to see if they have sealing tape.

    IMHO...The Brococks can sell for high prices, but as they turn up so infrequently I really dont know

    1000 Pylarm in that condition, with pellets maybe £15-25 as an example to get someone started as they are a fairly hard to find tin.

    1930's Wasp .177, again a stained label, so similar to above.

    1930's Wasp .22...Looks better, with pellets and sealing tape could go £20-£30+ or even up to £50 on the right day / bidding war.

    Webley oblong, with pellets and coupon maybe £15-25, empty £8-12 or a tad more.

    Both the target and Milbro are damaged / dirty so again a big hit but still £10-15 each

    So I make that £75-120 ish not including the Brocock which could go mad or not, it's a funny place.

    If selling on "There" maximize your chances, at least 5-10 good photos of each item, 10 day listing ending on a Sunday evening, Plus 99p start and take your chances as items dumped on there at top prices often sit unsold as buyers want the chance of a bargain.

    Hello Ed,

    Great rationale and price breakdown which I would fully agree with from personal experience.

    Regards

    Brian

    Thank you very much Ed for your comprehensive reply and to the other members.
    I'll take your advice Ed and list them on the bay with a 99p starting price and see what happens
