Expensive Webley Pellet Tins.

Another example of an optimistic price advertised on that internet auction site, in my opinion anyway.

I saw that the other day Brian and the price made me chuckle too. Wonder how they think they'll get that kind of money!

I am in agreement with that Brian,some silly prices out there.I was lucky to inherit thousand upon thousand of pellets in recent times and have sold a great number at Birmingham fair etc but nothing like those prices. I am sure there are gents that had a good many bargains out of my stock that appeared on the b at a later date.Its a question of selling some cheap otherwise being stuck with to many.Still got many thousand left.

Blimey! £220.

If these sort of prices were realised across the board, collections held by collectables members would be worth millions.

I think some people with no knowledge of real prices see the odd vintage tins sell for £40 or so pounds each such as the 40s and 50s Webley full tins and 5.6 Eley Wasps and just think they're all worth the same.

Roughly £100 worth in the listing mentioned at best going on usual prices £15 to £20 or so for the green and white tins in nice condition.
Theres another ridiculous listing trying to sell Webley. 22 white and orange. 22 tins for £80 each which usually sell for around £20.

I have noticed nice 5.6 full tins of Eley Wasp regularly fetching around £35 each.
