Vegas and marbles on Halloween. It doesn't get any better then that. Sami

Bob, Thanks for the kind words! What throws me off is that all three different lots are polished and went to one buyer. What are the chances?? I have been wrong with very deceptively polished handmades before and whenever I recognize one I try to sell on Ebay with the identification, because these polished marbles are very well done with pontils preserved/intact or fakely put back on and very easily could be sold to an unsuspecting collector. But three different lots, most likely from three different sources, to one purchaser, is hard to believe. I am looking forward to take another look at these marbles. Sami

Chad, Thanks for supporting words. Mike, I am totaly surprised that the marbles you bought came as not described and polished. I can't imagine how that may have happened as I put all the catalog marbles under strong magnification and carefully graded them. I didn't know Jeff is out for the weekend but we will take care of you as soon as he comes back. I understand your frustration and we will make it up as soon as Jeff comes back. Sami

Bill, I am sorry you couldn't register. I will definitely investigate why it happened. We would love to have you bid. Sami

Our intent is to do twice a year. Let's see how it develops. Thanks guys. I hope you like your new marbles. Sami

Thanks to all who bid and was part of our premier auction. It was a lot of fun and excitement for us and will do our best to make the buyers happy. William, please request a card with your package when you pay for your lot. My partner Jeff is handling the winners and he has the cards. Best regards, Sami Arim

William, Pm me your address. I'll get some extras from Jeff soon and will mail for requests. Sami

Me three. What a find Craig! Sami

Ann, the red lines are reflections. The marble will be in the upcoming auction. Thanks Steph! Sami

I think we will have an Alley as described in the upcoming auction. I am trying to attach pictures, but they are too large. Email send to Steph to downsize them. Sami

Bill, All bidder ids will be sent out tomorrow to all registrars. If there is a glitch please call us and we will take care of it. Best regards, Sami

William, We may have missed some people but the postcard is just an invitation, nothing more. Members here are already invited and please make sure to register at the website. Regards, Sami Arim

That is most likely a carry on from the bottle auction site. We immigrated bottle auction site and working on cleaning the site to fit our marble auctions.

Thanks guys! Your support is greatly appreciated!

Mark, We are a licensed auction company. You can inquire details through the website. Sami

I have been told that you are registered.

That marble has a white base but covered almost completely with red and green ribbons. A little white can be seen between couple of red ribbons and under the thin green ribbon.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the positive input. Sami

It is for sure Peltier National Line Rainbo Christmas Tree, and somebody got a very good deal.
