Assistant Postmaster General K.L. Tsang says that in just one day the issue earned the Post Office almost HK $ 90 million in revenue. In May of last year, some old-style British-made pillar boxes which came into use in the Victorian era were sold to the public by tender. They went for prices ranging from HK $ 6000 to HK $ 30,000.
郵政署助理署長曾國林表示，那次發售，只花了一天，郵政署便進帳港幣近九千萬元；一些從維多利亞時期就開始使用，「英國本地製造，轉運來港」的舊式郵筒，去年五月間以投標的方式，讓市民出價收藏，最高三萬，最低六千港幣。
