  1. Guess Whose Birthday It Is?

    in General Marble & Glass Chat

    Posted

    Thanks Leroy!!!! Bo threatened me with 58 lashes with a wet noodle if I told! Why 58???? Maybe the same number of years the big guy's been around!

    Happy Birthday Bo! Send me the brown and black popeye and you'll feel so good for giving on your birthday and not receiving!

    xoxo

    p.s. it is indeed the 9th! ;)

    :4Party:

    Happy Birthday Bo Stiff even though I'm not sure of the exact date, but I believe it's the 9th and I hope you have plenty more. ----Leroy----

  3. Jabo Tribute To Friendship Pics - Oxblood Flame

    in General Marble & Glass Chat

    They sure are pretty, shame most wont survive long, I have 10 of the new Jabo's, 7 of them are fractured now, I'm wondering on the refund policy?

    The one with the gold aventrine on the surface will certainly fail in time, gold on the surface will become dull and in time may start to flake off, trust me, I've played with glass long enough to know what works and what doesnt.

    At first my thoughts of these runs was optomistic, I thought maybe there would be some real winners when the color combos etc. found the compatibility, shame the hard facts are that the colors used in most cases will fail, at this point my thoughts are no longer optomistic, I patiently wait the backlash as more and more people find their $40 Jabo popped in half, in my opinion, even a $10 loss is enough to open the eyes of the masses.

    I praise some of the makers for their efforts, unfortunately I cant support the new marbles as they have proven without a doubt that compatibility is going to be an ongoing issue, I once would say "I feel for your loss" at this point all I can say is... shame they didnt test the compatibility before producing and selling the faulty merchandise and shame the buyers were blinded by beauty.

    All that hype and look what is happening to the marbles.

    Glass is a mysterious and wonderful thing, used carefuly it can produce items of beauty that will last millions of years, used carelessly and you have nothing but junk that will only last long enough for the makers to gain a hefty profit.

    I WANT MY MONEY BACK! is what most of the buyers should be screamimg.

    I wonder if Jabo was wise enough to have the "investors" sign a waiver holding Jabo harmless in the event the product fails?

    This could be history making after all, a lawsuit over bad product... OK pretty looking bad product.

    Just my 2 cents, take it as you wish.

    I'm not sure how long the marbles will remain intact, but I do know that there is a very high percent of damaged marbles. You can "pretty" them up and make them sparkle, but in the end, they're still jabos. Not to be played with...

    I don't think what you are saying is wrong...and I applaud your speaking out. But there's a strong fan club for these jabos and unfortunately, you will get blasted for saying what you think. so much for "friendship".

  11. Eagles Jabo Run...

    Mary...I'd be happy to get one out to you. Within the next day or two.

    There was recently another auction on E-Bay for a similar Eagle. It was beautiful, and I tried hard to win the bid, but I didn't get it. Sometimes I just can't afford to chase after a particular marble, but boy I sure wish I could have won that one.

  12. Why Not Many New Posts Is Everyone Dead

    ditto what Alan said!!

    I have been at the New Philly marble show.

    There is no "fear" or uncertainty about the board. If people would behave with an ounce of self-control there wouldn't be any banned posters. I never see anyone at a marble show spouting off like some do on the boards. The anonymity and implied lack of consequences that comes with Internet posting causes some people to write things that they would never say in person.

    Alan....Great pics!!! I feel like I was there! Oh, wait...I WAS!!! :lol:

    It was great to meet you - I really enjoyed talking with you.

    And thanks for posting such great photos of the boxes. If anyone is interested in them, please let me know. In addition to the boxes, I have the board with the pink banded opaques and the marbles in the photo immediately before and the three photos after the opaques.

    and thank you Smitty for putting on a great show!
