Could this offend?

Not sure wheter to list or not, personally I don't think it will offend as that is what the comapny was.

I can't think why it would offend, it's only got one G. It was a trading company and had something to do with the forming of Nigeria, I think.

Well you could always list it and put this in the description Sarah

The Royal Niger Company was a mercantile company chartered by the British government in the nineteenth century. It formed a basis of the modern state of Nigeria.

Sir George Taubman Goldie conceived the idea of adding to the British Empire the then little known regions of the lower and middle Niger River, and for over twenty years his efforts were devoted to the realization of this conception. The method by which he determined to work was the revival of government by chartered companies within the empire, a method supposed to be buried with the British East India Company. The first step was to combine all British commercial interests in the Niger, and this he accomplished in 1879 when the United African Company was formed. In 1881 Goldie sought a charter from Gladstone's government but his attempts failed.

If so you'd better tell the goldfinches that eat the Niger seeds I put out for them that they are non PC

It shouldn't offend anybody, but there are some pretty strange people out there.
Anyway, if you're worried about the spelling of niger, shouldn't you be worried about the spelling of ars as well

I suppose anything for sale has the potential to offend someone (I used to list CDs on here from the likes of Ace of Base, Gina G and Vengaboys for example ).

There's no valid reason why the "reasonable man/woman on the street" (whoever they are!) would object to your item - it is a name of an African country and river after all and was the name of a company.

I believe it would be allowed within eBid's listing rules so if you want to list it then go for it.
