try your research using the correct spelling may help,,, Akro Agate,,, just sayin,, smile,,bj

not mine but they prolly need to be referenced here for later discussions,, just seen these on greedbay, now their in the photo files,,,j

who was that i seen on antique road show tonight, he was from wheaton, kind a big guy with grey beard bandanna,,,,lol,bj

look, bite the bullet ask for them all back for full refund,, yes its a hassle, BUT, looking at the picture i see a couple in the group with 3 colors including orange if my eyes aint deceiving me, those blends and bleeds and all hybrids deserve a separate auction, you will make up for the loss,,, im just like you i hate selling individual mib auctions, i figure to save buyers ship cost but they have been trained by the biggest sellers out there that buying more than one mib per auction mean mibs are junk,, as it sits the original buyer got a heck of a deal at an average around 13 bucks a piece,, if hes knit picken you for the patches, then get that lot back intact and sell them acordingly,,, if you dont mind taking the hit, send partial,,, but like marble novice said you will basing the refund as a group which will alow the buyer to get a bigger deal because of the great mibs in the group,,, GET THEM ALL BACK,,bj

if the guy you sold to is from Maine, then you have a problem,,,, with ebay being a buyers market ONLY, you have no recourse and the no return policy is just for show, sellers do not have a chance against SNAD claims if he paid through paypal, Tell him/her to send the group back, relist them correctly and hope like hell he/she sends the ones you sold back to you and not some beat up mibs you never seen before, just hope he doesnt do a bait and switch on you, good luck,, bj just an FYI, a popeye patch is a popeye that did not cork during the manufacturing process, they used to be sought after but with everyone trying to put box sets together and upgrading existing sets then have lost their appeal.

that was cute,, but this ones been going round fb still shakin my head,, dats a big dog,,lol,,bj

this dog in the first post reminds me of the czeck glass dogs that were cracker jack prizes, the only thing throwing me off this is the yardstick behind the dog, the CJ dogs were only 1 inch tall and had a metal collar,, bj

if your a buyer the grouping works price wise, and as a seller, the dilution works if you have great mibs, i dont know why it is but when buyers buy mibs they just as soon pay for one single perfect mib and tend to see the groups sell for much less, and i dont know why that is given the new rules on ebay for buying and selling, ie: 200 auctions or 20 grand now get reported to everyones uncle, taking the hobby out of collecting and making everyone businessmen, thats another story there,,, bj p.s. the lower end pelts had serious quality control issues, so you will see alot of mibs with sand , gravel, furnace stone, bubbles, ect..i even have one that has a big enough chunk of metal in it that you can pull it around with a magnet, lol

great post,,, on a side note i really would like to know what camera are you using to get them awesome pics,, bravo,,and ruby slipper?, wow, i know i have one somewhere around here and did not know what it was, old dog new trick thing, thanks,, bj

looks to be in good condition over-all, nice score,,, bj

in my opinion, no, it seams they were all over the map with their sizes, i have a conquror(sp) thats 1- 3/16 in, to rare to value, lololol,,, bj

has anone ever seen a 1-1/2 inch pure red Bennington before,, i seen one today but couldnt believe my eyes, it was an oldy but i didnt think of bring my camera for pics,,,,, thanks,, bj

i have big sling shot you can send it home where it belongs, lololololol,,, too funny,,bj

LIKE <------- lol,, go bears

alot of blends and bleeds i have the str8 version of that early kro very hard to find cork,looks like 4 colors this would look great in the pastel thread,, that powder blue is very cool imho,,bj

Thanks Chuck, The whole group was kinda messed up even this faded green christmas tree, i think its missing a color to become a citrus but the green is way wrong and look at the pattern, their just different from the norm i guess,, i thought the first one was an akro at first because of the mib i have in my avitar, but the colors changed my thinking, i dont think i have any other grey bands on a pelt hafta check,, more of a unique grouping more than messed up,, bj ty marbman, glad i could help

well i got the camera fixed, i was reading an old post on broken corks and steph wanted to know if there was a 4 color one,, ok,, lololol, here me out,, i actually took this as being an akro at first but the colors were off and the more i looked at it i really think its a pelt liberty with a grey band on it, if you count white as a color, wahhh laaa ,4 colors, lololol, bj

working on getting better pics for this group,,, when i said my batt was dead i mean, when i charge it up for 4 hours i have about 5 minutes of camera use , thats dead, but will try and work through it,, at any rate just wanted to post an off topic pic here so i dont need to start another thread,,,, so sweet,, lil hot dog doggie(not mine) just cute,, smile,,, bj

what a rookie i am, jeepers, need learn to upload pics, for dummies book,,,bj

well, lets try this,,,bj

ya, stupid camera has dead batt. all i have is my crummy video cam, i'll try to figure out how to use the still function,,,,bj

to know theres a few nice ones out there in the wild, first find in 7 or 8 months,,, mostlty pelts but a few akro,,yeaaaaaaaaa,,, bj

this is an oddity and is an oldy,, nice mib,, bj leroy i thought the same way but when you have the proof in your hands with your experience you have every right to post your opinions with authority, nuff said,

we can never tell because of where they dumped it is a secret loacation and from what ive been told is sitting under a scrap glass dump from the other glass factory aways from the plant thats still working outta payne, you'de need a front end loader with solid tires and a heap of $$ for the land its sitting under,,, but he's right only slag frags surrounds actual building..
