    Is pellet collecting still a "thing"?

    Having a spring clean and as I am not shooting much these days I am looking at clearing out the bits and bobs of pellets I have amassed but won't use.
    Some are old and even include some old .22" Wasps. Oxidised though.
    Are people still collecting such things? If so I will list here what I have got but am looking to offload.
    Cheers

    Seems to be more and more people collecting pellet tins/boxes and targets etc these days 👍

    Depends on the tins
    Some are highly collectable and worth decent money like the webley tins,others not so much but still collectable normally

    I put all my odds and ends tin wise on the bay the other year. Surprised what I got.
    Again one tin might make a bomb, and another peanuts. It is a collectors world of its own. If you have the right tin they will sell a kidney for it. What tin is another matter.

    Good advice Muskett. Its good to declutter as well one doesn't want one's relatives to chuck it all in a skip once you've moved on.

    Someone bought my battered original can of Dri-Slide from 1981, which was still a quarter full. I got it by post from Eddie Barber's Airgunaid shop. I think I got a fiver for it.

    I could have held onto it for sentimental reasons, and also for tuning springers, but it was a messy thing and so I thought f-it and off it went to someone who would love it properly.

    I just get dry moly powder and a pinch of moly grease or a drop of gear oil and mix them into a paste if I feel the need for moly coating something.
