This seems a bit over the odds for a pewter box, wouldn’t you say? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wonderful-Pewter-Snuff-Box-/221298337652
Agaric Antiques? I think they may have eaten a few too many: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita\_muscaria#Psychoactive\_use
Nice tin mind.
That guys insane, I have an identical one. Its the Wilson’s Tom Buck hunting scene snuff box. I got mine in a trade for a pipe baccy tin, looks like I got one hell of a deal =))
I got same one for 15 and 3 for shipping, I rather get this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/110946583999?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 and spend the rest on bulk snuff

Haha. I saw that one. I did a search for completed listings and saw two, exactly the same, for well under 30 bucks each. I really like these pewter boxes, but I think I’ll sit out this round.
Hehe. I just put in a best offer of 15 pounds. Just for a laugh and to subtly undermine their delusional frames of reference. I included a link to three completed offerings showing similar prices.
after the offer i put in to try and bring them down to earth a bit, they sent me a message saying they ended up selling it to a regular of theirs. then they sent me another saying they had the laugh, because they sold it full price. incredible. im in the wrong business.
though i just checked and its saying i didnt offer him anything, but he offered me 245 but i declined… i didnt decline anything, he declined my offer of 16! i believe i just came horrifically close to being on the unfortunate business end of an ebay glitch…
Offer him to buy mine for 145; this was his response. Wonderful Pewter Snuff Box Your offer price: GBP 15.00 Seller terms: Thanks for the offer, bit confused if you only want to pay £15 why ask me £145. I do know someone who may be interested so why don’t you list it on ebay and see what happens, have a good day, Glo
look at their other snuffbox and their prices
that’s how free market works!
For some reason, I’m reminded of the story of Andy Warhol producing two identical prints and selling one for $50,000 at a fancy gallery and the other at a street stall for $2.50.
@JakartaBoy , something like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24518315

That’s what economists would call “market aberrations” a.k.a. getting away with a scam.
