The craziness of that auction site reaches a whole new level!

[CINDERS]

You have all missed the operative word "SNIPER" this alone will push the premium up by gads at least 1000% and you get to show your mates over a nice cold beer what an empty Lapua 338 Mag box looks like which will have everybody ooooing and aaahing at what the contents may have looked like and tales of daring do's...........where's my Gentleman Jacks I need one if that sells for that price

I have the empty 308 case that Hathcock used to miss the target with and my mate caught the round in his baseball glove they will sell if and when I put it on that place!

Lets see now, that comes to about 300 US green dollars for an empty box. Hmmm, me thinks somebody's butter has done slipped off their pancakes.

I'll have to dig deep in my loft I can see that.
I may have a box of MOD condoms issued in Malaya in 1971. Just can't seem to work the word sniper into the advert..............aha I have it..............."used exclusively for stopping the rain going down one's barrel on your issue sniper rifle in the jungle monsoon"
that'll do it

Blimey! I hope that buyer likes my item that's on there currently. I always get the punters with short arms & deep pockets!

Those Barbed wire cutters always seem to make their money

[Roger Payne]

Hi Alan,
Yes, mind they were a very nice set. I only sold them because I was lucky enough to fall on another set that is near mint - they'd been in a museum for decades. I haven't sold on fleabay for about ten years, but I buy odd bits & pieces of spares periodically; but I thought that now I have plenty of time on my hands I might start punting a bit more non-ticketable stuff through there. It has its drawbacks but it is an excellent shop window, which is something I've always lacked.

A world wide shop window...... not many of them, have said a few times before it got popular, we were still using magazine adverts etc or Collectors fairs, we all slag it off but we have all made a few quid or got a few bargains, bit like marmite you either love it or hate it...
