Wonderful sense of humor, especially for a guy who recently spent a month in the hospital due to a heart attack.

Where ya been, Main-Marble-Man?

The first one might be what Marblealan calls a Wiger...too red for a Tiger, and too orange for a Wasp.

Wouldn't it be unusual for Champions to have black in them?

Thanks

...the marble-maker. He hasn't had any new marbles on ebay for several months now, and he didn't answer my email.

Here are some different examples of calligraphy writing. I'm not at all certain what defines a calligraphy marble.

I bet I know what prompted it.

If his auctions were no longer permitted, wouldn't he no longer be a registered user...?

And I was only explaining why I thought he ceased to list more auctions...

When a buyer files a claim against the seller, payments to the seller's account, or funds already in the seller's account, are held by PayPal for the amount of the transaction(s) being disputed, and are not accessible to the seller until the dispute(s) are resolved. So once disputes are filed, there's not much point in continuing to list items, as any payments made will be used towards reimbursing ripped-off buyers.

(That's my take on it, anyway.)

I don't think ebay will do anything about him until enough buyers file Item Not Received complaints, and that means the seller has seven days to respond to each complaint. In the meantime, he will probably continue with his scam. I hope I'm wrong.

Wow. I have one of his "moving" Shadow marbles. It's beautiful, and mesmerizing. Never would have guessed...

And it's somebody else's b-day today, the 26th. HIS birthday (the other two of the outside-the-box trio should be able to figure out who I mean.)

Mike Edmondson????!!!!!!

Yeah, whose birthday???

I did email Alan B. about it this afternoon. Don't know Joe S.

Swiping Marblealan's verbiage, and looks like maybe his pictures too...many, or all of his listings are that way.

Peltier Golden Rebel

Peltier Red Galaxy

I'm beginning to be interested in stone and mineral spheres. Some of those are nice. I'll look for them on eBay (I don't do offers).

Here's what MY Dave Becker marble looks like. And it's going to stay mine

Does anybody know how long it takes to make one of these polymer clay marbles? Is it difficult to do?

I have a Dave Becker clay flame marble that looks alot like those.

Will you be listing any of those on ebay?

Here is an email I just received:

Here a female mate is injured and the condition is soon fatal. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.

Here he brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.

He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead.

He tried to move her ... a rarely-seen effort for swallows!

Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never come back to him again, He cries with adoring love.

He stood beside her, saddened of her death. Finally aware she would never return to him, he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.

Millions of people cried after seeing these photos in America, Europe, Australia , and even India. The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the most famous newspaper in France. All copies of that edition were sold out on the day these pictures were published.

And many people think animals don't have brains or feelings? You have just witnessed Love and Sorrow felt by God's creatures.

90 mibs? I don't know, I haven't counted them

Is number 27 the Alley Oxblood Horsehair?

Yes, there are some contemps in there: Carl Fisher, Mark Christensen, Scott Patrick, Kelly Schmidt, John McCormick, Mike Edmondson, John Hamon Miller.

Thanks for the compliments. The pictures are mine, the flowers belong to my sister.

The asters aren't blooming yet. Those pictures are from other years. Not much is blooming right now except some phlox. We're in the Midwest.

I've never posted these pictures anywhere except in the slide show. People tell me I should try to sell them, but I don't know.
