Anyone know the true owners of these?

I googled his name together with his town and came up with a street address. However, I can't vouch for it being his current residence.

Found em. Yes, they were Morphy marbles. That's a great thing about distinctive backgrounds. "Marbles:Christensen Agate Banded Transparent 5/8''" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280568679658 http://www.icollector.com/Christensen-Agate-Banded-Transparent-Marble_i8466241 "Marbles:Christensen Agate Swirl 5/8'' Mint" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270642550225 http://www.icollector.com/Christensen-Agate-Swirl-Marble_i8466238

Could someone help me pin these two down? Are they from grandpamarble? I'll look but I'm a little flustered trying to keep up with all the links and match everything. To me this background looks like they could have come from Morphy's. Any sleuthing help would be appreciated. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270642550225 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280568679658

What is the exact site / ebay store / whatever , from which the grandpamarbles came? I'm having trouble finding them. (sorry for the triple posting of this. I'm putting it in all the relevant threads hoping the right person will see. Need it to tell ebay.)

Lucky.

p.p.s. they say they'll email you a transcript of the live chat session. However the version I got was truncated. So if you want a full copy of your session, you should probably save it directly yourself. I wish I had the full transcript so I could have the exact wording for why my helper wouldn't be able to report the scam to ebay. The answer was something like, "We can't do that because the ebay format is based on trust." . . Irony. ar ar.

I just had a live chat session with them. Their advice was to pay for the transaction or take a negative feedback. The feel of the chat session wasn't as brutal or heartless as that, but that's a pretty close to what was actually said. (Side thought: can the seller give negative feedback other than the non-paying-bidder report?) Well, after I got off chat I saw your message and so then I called the number you gave, Clyde. The recording directed me to live chat. However, they also have a number to fax requests to if one has legal issues: 408-376-7514 (if I caught the number correctly). p.s., Galen, did he ever call you back?

Cool Winnie. Dave, your examples go a long way to clearing up some of the questions I had. Stacy, I don't know what names they might have.

Have a great day!

I can PM you what ebay gave me for contact information. I haven't confirmed that the phone number works. You wanna? (PM sent)

I think I found the spelling for the (or one of the) bobbie's ID's in an old thread. Here. Paul, just checking - this one, right? So, looks like we have: mikeswestvirginiamarbles (current) wvmarbles (current) bobbieswestvirginiamarbles (past) Anyone else?

Does anyone know any or all of mikeswvmarbles ID's, past and present? The ones I recall have been variations on the wvmarbles theme but I don't know them exactly. There was one which started with "bobbie", right? Was that one he was using? Thanks for any help.

Does anyone have any with amber bases which they are sure/confident/hopeful are Vitro? Answering my own question: eight fingers Anyone have other amber based possibilities?

So it didn't even have green? There's still something about it which makes me uncertain. I really don't know what to say.

whom are you asking?

For the record, here's one of the pix from ebay. Size is given as 9/16".

Cosmic! Love 'em!

Very interesting. Thanks!

My first thought at first glimpse was Akro. But then again I wasn't even remembering any Vitros with a yellow base until I thought of the ones from Anacortes. But on the third hand, that's why I started this thread - because I seem to have a hole in my understanding about Vitros with colored bases. So ??

Every time I've seen the first one of yours, Nancy, I've been a bit mystified by it. That springy green is something else. The 2nd to last doesn't give me a very Vitro feel but I dunno. Paul, is that yellow one from Anacortes?

The cosmos has been rippling with reverberations of some out-of-this-world MK aventurines which showed up in Sistersville. Does anyone have any pictures/news about those?
