Natwest Pigs - value and where to resell?

pyropetepete · 6 Feb 2012 at 13:06

Pending how you are you will recall these, not just cos of the new TV advert!

I have a full orginal set that I got as I opened my account and it grew in size. I even have the matching orginal bottom plugs.

Question is what they worth and where would i be best to sell them on?

JAMAL · 6 Feb 2012 at 13:07

I seem to remember they will fetch over £100 for a full set, ebay them its the best place!

I have a set as well with bottom plugs.

Not a lot, since the Internet took of. Use to get 300+ a set. Now you would be lucky to get £25 each. Check eBay out.

Can buy original bottom plugs for like 99p on eBay. Internet has destroyed value of these sort of things so easy to sell and make a full set.

I believe the cousin was the rare one which makes the set worth some. The cousin sells for £200 on it's own.

There are lots of these ''original bottom plugs'' but there are a lot of fakes!

They were made by Wade, & Sir Nathaniel I've seen at £100, fewer were made, a complete set with boxes I've seen at £200.

Now, was Efour2s post a joke or not?

Does the Dad piggy have plain black trousers/suit or 'Pin-Stripe'??.. One of them was made in a very limited run (first version made I believe).

Can't remember which is the rarer of the two, but it'll obviously be worth more!!

I only ever had 2 of them, could never keep my money in the bank long enough to get the next one!!

Thats the set i have

LiE · 6 Feb 2012 at 13:16

Yea doesn't have the cousin, which fetches a tidy sum. Have a search for the cousin on ebay

Your set seems to go for £50-60, a set with the cousin £200+
