Is this a bit too expensive

J

I like to browse ebay for snuff boxes and came across this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Snuff-Bullet-Dispenser-Bottle-Steel-Rounded-Silver-/360214359819?pt=UK_Collectables_Tobacciana_Smoking_LE&hash=item53de72ef0b#ht_770wt_905

Isn’t the price a bit too much for a metal bullet?

P

It appears that way to me. “let the buyer beware”.

S

Hah! Yes it’s a bit over the top. I can’t believe they have sold 77 of them

W

Overpriced?!?!? That’s not overpriced, that’s feckin scandalous!

S

Makes you wonder if they come filled with something…

I think its a case of waiting for some idiot to part with his money, like when someone put a new camel snus can on there for tens of dollars. As a technique I expect it brings decent returns, after all a fool and his money are easily parted.

B

It should be .9995 palladium for that price.

J

I sort of assume the price is targeted to the audience who snorts another “substance” up their nostrils.

J

Looking at the prices of his other stuff makes me think it’s a typo. 

S

It might be worth that if it were solid sterling silver.

Doesn’t look like a typo to me, here another item from the same seller, most of his bullets are priced at 99 pounds.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-Postage-Letter-Kitchen-Scales-0-1g-x-2000g-/270307618740?pt=UK_Packaging_Materials&hash=item3eef96efb4#ht_754wt_1066

I check the 41 sold and they were @ 5.99 pounds. I contacted the seller with no reply ,Probably because he don’t ship to USA.And can’t be bothered .

T

Hahah yeah it’s actually £7.99 on his actual website here it’s just a typo from him : http://www.digitalscalesuk.biz/catalog/c3_p1.html

And the scale at £999 is actualy £49.99.

Is anyone the same though in thinking it looks like a silver tampon?

J

Don’t knock it! I think I have exactly the same one in dark blue and it works wonderfully. I didn’t buy it for a 100 bucks though.
