I believe hidden reserves on Ebay auctions keep some possible bidders(that may have the money to win) from bidding.

If someone has enough disposable income to spend that much on marbles they wont be afraid of a hidden reserve. Bid what you wanna pay and if its not meet then move on,sometimes it pays off.

As a side not the reserves is close to being met....you could be the lucky winner Galen.

You will notice in with the Vitro 8 Fingers are some oddballs that I came across over the years at the old plant.

Some people will say the white based ones were made out in Washington but you can see the 2 "flats" that I found also at the plant in WV

I agree with Steph that you are probably losing out on selling it all in one lot. I know that I won't bid on the whole thing but I would bid quite high on several individual items. What is the reserve?

I agree with Steph and yourself but I do not have the patience to sell the items separate.

yes always would do better splitting the lots unless ?/ there are a lot of item with high reserve just to get ?? .

as far as the Jackson are ?/ the label ?

It is believed that Jackson Marble Company produced only about two boxcars full of marbles, an extremely small amount considering the millions made by other manufacturers. Most if not all of these marbles were sold to other marble companies rather than directly to the retail market.

The marbles inside of the 2 Jackson bags have been view first hand by several persons that are vey credible and agree they are Jackson marbles.

Will trade marbles for Morels. Just roll them loosely up in some paper towels Put them in a box and mail them this way. I have been known to give up CACs for Morels. I am serious.
