i have just sold my wifes on ebay and got 175 quid for them when i did a search on ebay in australia i didnt turn up any thing
but you can always sell them on the uk ebay site from australia it will just cost the person who buys them more for postage but you can always come to some agreement

Hi,
I buy and sell collectables. I'd advise you to sell them in the UK, they were not available in Australia so are not worth anything there. You might get lucky with an ex brit who wants a set whilst you're over there but I doubt you'd get the price you want.
If you have them on display then you might want to keep them but if they are hidden away in a box then you get no enjoyment from them so you might as well get rid.
FYI. The prices have been stable for a while so I wouldn't expect them to go up much in the next 10-20 years.

Ay,ay,ay, .....
Carm down, carm down!!
I saw a set (full set = all 5 I think) for £165 at Bygone Times (large antiques warehouse type place) last week.
I think the 1st ones are easier to come by as the larger ones could only be obtained by having more cash in the savings account.
Best of luck selling them though.
I would check e-bay for prices but if you're going to sell them you should definitely do it here before you go.

Hi Donna. We did the vinyl last weekend, apart from a few warped ones we couldn't bear to part with all of those 12 inches! 
Or the coloured vinyl and picture discs! We also decided theres nothing quite as satisfying as opening a gate fold album with the lyrics printed on it
Well thats what i was persuaded to believe anyway! So its coming, we have no turntable, but its coming, go figure

I've been fascinated by this conversation because I didn't know what Nat West pigs were. However as suggested I looked on Ebay and am assuming these are money boxes. Just wondering did you buy these and they became collector's item or were they a gift from the bank?
