kbobam Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wow! They could have just sold the box for that! But seriously, is there something in the group that looks like it might be a 'hidden treasure' or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well, that piggy going to market tin is only worth about 10-12.00 so that isn;t it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Probably another just another collector with more money than knowledge. looks like a 40 dollar bid to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 There's a fat eggyolk oxblood and maybe a couple of bulging popeyes...still, even in wet mint that sale price is extreme. I think many collectors gamble on the 14-day money back listings because condition is difficult to tell particularly in those photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1313 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 your missing something alright. letting people manage there own affairs. what a seller gets for his product is noones business, just like what a buyer pays for a rare find is noones business.

Steph Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Lots of people post links to auctions which bring unusual amounts and open it up for discussion. It's a legit thing to post about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm assuming zaboo is serious about the tin. Although I utilized it in making an overall joke about the auction, I really like it too. (You have to scroll down to see the good pictures of it.) To me the graphics have a sort of 'secret society' look to them. Very neat. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 totally serious about the tin! we have, besides other collections, a fairly nice little tin collection (collecting is a sickness!) and that tin is awesome! Gnome, if you can find me that tin for 10-12 I would be amazed and grateful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTAndrea Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I used to be able to find tins and jars full of old marbles in antiques shops. It was so much fun to sort through for treasures. Those days are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
