I wasnt really sure whether I would get one, so I bid on two, and won both, sure the second will come in handy.

My 12cm just arrived.
This is the best bit of kit I have ever bought, and cheap as chips thanks to evil-bay.
Time to save for a 16cm one now I think, and maybe one for the back of the car and one for.........

Gor me a tea pot too - don't really need it but... I fancied it! Very Jack Hargreaves I thought..
I imagine what Jack means is that if this is the company that imports the billy cans they are at an unfair advantage to regular retailers who have to include a mark up. It is a bit naughty if that's the case...Topcat02 said:What's with the?

This is deffo a top tip
Put a bid of £5.50 on a 14cm tea pot and was out bid
After auction had finished they offered me another for £5.50 + £2.50 postage
So it cost £8.00 and they outdid themselves on the postage as it cost £3.27
Rep Point for you Red

Thanks Hellz.
That was my point. In the world of business, this sort of behaviour is very much frowned upon...you can't run with the fox and hunt with hounds.
Many professional companies would not dream of selling on Ebay as it is seen by the industry as having the elements of a 'market trader', roll up roll up, lets having yer!
Ebay, is a wonderful tool and one that I use but I don't know many companies that would risk their reputation by doing this. Ebay is a place where you get cheap bargins and your business will be viewed in the same light.
Cheers.

How tall is the 10cm billy can? I'm trying to get an idea of how big it is and if it could also nestle inside my 14cm billy with the top tray inside.
Excellent prices though, a real good find.

10cm I think. Not sure though, but my 12cm is 12cm in both diameter and height.

My height must be without the lid.

Oddly enough this happened to me as well after I had bid on a stacking set.
I just got one, thanks for the info.
I have never seen a zebra billy before, I am very impressed. I am guessing you just remove the inner dish and use it as a bowl?
Also mine has plastic clips which I imagine I will have to remove if I want to use it on an open fire.
