If you are lucky enough to find the Golden Billy Banana you are sitting on a gold mine

The most luxurious of all the Stikeez, Golden Billy Banana lives a life of luxury with his shiny metallic skin! And if you find him, you’ll be richer with a $100 Coles voucher!

But don’t fall for the trap of spending a fortune on ebay just so you can own the special collector pieces.

This has to be a joke!

One rare, limited edition Coles Golden Banana Stikeez sold for a whopping $20,000 on eBay!

After 65 bids, one buyer surprisingly picked up the Coles mini collectable – part of the limited Stikeez range and one of only 100 produced.

While another sold for $50,000! yep not even joking.

According to the listing on eBay, the Stikeez had 64 bids and reached more than double the price of the last super-expensive rare Golden Stikeez – which sold for $20,100.

Where to get your hands on a Golden Banana

It has been rumoured that there are still around 25 of the rare minis in circulation around Australia.

One Stikeez collector has revealed the one store where you’re more likely to get a Golden Billy Banana than any other around the country.

During a recent Facebook discussion on the Coles Little Shop – Minis Swap Group Australia page, one member revealed that she indeed had a Golden Billy Banana and that she knew of TWO of the rare minis to come from the same store.

The Facebook chat started after one follower asked whether any of the group’s members actually owned one of the rare minis.
Member Sarah posted a photo of her Golden Billy Banana and replied: ‘Yes I have one.’

She went on to explain that she received the mini from the Coles in Sunbury, Victoria – and said she knew of others to come out of the one store.

People are now thinking that a heap of Golden Billy Bananas could’ve been shipped to the Sunbury Coles.

I’ve seen people selling them on FB for $10 and they’ve just painted them gold themselves.

People are behaving madly and badly for these collectible crazes. I just take them and then give them to someone I think would like them. I made a little boy very happy when I handed him my 4 Stickeez. And I know an 18 year old male is now happier for his larger collection. I think I gave him a couple of glow-in-the dark ones.

I had to pretty much pull an irate customer off a checkout girl the other day when she threw an epic tantrum when she found out they had run out of stickies and she wasn’t getting any for her shop. The poor girl working looked like she’d had an awful day. Take it up with the company. The 18 year old on the checkout can’t do anything about it.

Yes I do have some stikeezs but these are just ones i have gotten from shopping sometimes. Been lucky have the four rare ones but not the banana one. Yes whoever buys these banana ones do have more money then sense.

The world’s gone mad, well at least the people who are paying this money, more money that brains, the saying goes. I do not even have one of these Stikeez because I have not shopped at Coles during the promo. Kind of wishing I did now, the money would have been life changing for me if I found a gold one to sell.

People spending so much. Absurd.
My local Coles already run out of Stikeez, so no chance for me to find a Golden Banana.
