Maths was never my strong point but 'currently' the pies are 18p each or have I messed up on a decimal place?

18p each is surely too expensive, when you take into account the cost of storage and selling the items.

Ive a bad feeling someone is going to say.....its 1.8p you idyot.

Your maths is not correct at current bid of £60,000!!!!!!! 60,000/1092000 = .055 - half penny each

Much profit to be made in buying at that price.

The picture looks like an Eccles cake to me..................

Your joking right ? If someone like Al Fayed bought those for Harrods they would sprinkle a bit of icing sugar on the top knock them out at £6.99 to go with a tea or coffee.

I'm just glad they are listed as being in "new" condition. I'd hate to imagine 1 million used pies

It says the best before date on some is well over a year, so to sell them all before they are gone off (lets say a year and a half ish , so 530 days) you would have to sell about 1880 a day.

Who is going to let Weebl and Bob know there are a million pies for sale! I'm sure they'd enjoy them.
