This one has paint in it though  - more costly than a good bottle of vintage wine- wonder what I would choose- each to their own.
Les how much did those pots sell for- you need to be a member to see that. Well found as well  |
I do not know as I have not signed up.

Oooh it has paint in it! I'm not interested then! I'm only after the rusty pots, those come at a premium!!

I wonder if those really old tins of dried up humbrol and airfix paint are worth anything? :O

You can say that again.
If it brought £101.99 for a part tin I wonder how much a full tin would go for??

I think gold leaf might be a cheaper alternative.
