This isnt a sales post im asking if i can acatully sell them
It's also worth bearing in mind that shipping is probably a no-no, as most couriers won't allow explosives to be shipped.

Ive has plenty of pyro sent to me from various couriers
Provided you sell it to someone over 18 I can’t see any issues.

This isn't the section for selling, so it would be considered off-topic, but no one would see you sending a PM.
Same reason sales shouldn't happen in the appraisals.

I answered the question as you requested. PM will be sent momentarily

And this is why we have to just issue warnings instead of trying to ask nicely in threads I guess *shrugs*. Conduct your sales/purchasing via the classifieds or - failing that - just send a PM. Don't bump threads with off-topic content - simple.

Retailers can post things that private sellers can't.What’s the difference? It’s still being posted ??

The expectation being that a retailer will take precautions to properly package and label explosive material that a private seller won't. I know when I've ordered bulk pyro it only ever comes via TNT and with big warning labels all over it. Don't think Parcelforce will even touch retailer stuff, but I could be wrong (most retailers seem to opt for TNT (heh) or FedEx and it costs a pretty penny too). I think the surcharge I've typically paid is about a tenner ontop of whatever I've already paid for postage.
To OP: Might be best to deliver them in person or sell them at a site.

Little aside, the VRCA made it an offence to sell, buy or attempt to buy "a cap-type primer designed for use in metallic ammunition for a firearm". There is no exception or defence for airsoft use.
And yet .209 shotgun primers are freely traded without any concern. I wonder if it's because sellers are confident that definition doesn't apply, or if it's just the case that they don't know, or don't give a stuff.

That seems like a lot of hasslw to post them. So should be ok to sell and do collection or deal in person as long as over 18

That's actually pretty interesting. I believe in this case we're 100% talking about fireworks/pyrotechnics rather than blank firers, but it's somewhat amusing that blanks are fine but primers are not? I mean surely one could extract the primers from a blank if they were that bothered, or do blank firers use a different/less violent primer? I'd have thought not.
