  1. Thanks ! I was hoping it was a Kokomo šŸ”„ RAR
  2. They didn’t send the marbles that were in the pics they sent mešŸ”„ RAR
  3. Cairo Ear or Heaton šŸ”„ RAR
  4. I’m with Boris ! Maybe a Bumble Bee Hybrid? Maybe šŸ”„ RAR šŸ
  5. I have really good examples of the type of marbles made by the majority of makers. Along the way you will figure out what draws you in and what doesn’t. MK is still in business šŸ”„ RAR
  6. I don’t know who posted that but they are NUTZ! They obviously don’t collect MK’s šŸ”„ RAR
  7. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I can’t be the only one herešŸ”„ RAR
  8. Here’s where they can make it right. I guess I’ll find out šŸ”„ RAR
  9. I’m not going to do that. I could tell everybody it’s you. They will read this thread. It’s not a trail. I’m not going to ruin someone’s reputation here. They can PM me if they wantšŸ”„ RAR
  10. I’m not stumped ! I have no idea here. Any help would be appreciated šŸ”„ RAR
  11. This is a cool Marble Mail marble. This is NUTZ! I’m going NLR first and then what the color combo is that? Any ideasšŸ”„ RAR
  12. I am torn up on this one so here I go. Vitro, Kokomo or Pelt. Any ideas šŸ”„ RAR
  13. They filled the Blow Hole on the Pelt with something. Under the loupe it looks like fingernail polish or something šŸ”„ RAR
  14. Not too bad right ? Wrong ! I told them to keep the marbles and you can kiss my A$$. RAR
  15. Here’s how one of my trades went down and I’ll try the keep it short. They saw an Opal I posted in Sunday’s Best and sent me a PM in less then 5 minutes. They offered $40 and I said that was too much and I’d rather trade. So here we go. I sent them the Opal,2 Cosmetic Rainbows and cool Vitro Cats Eyes. I want a Pelt Red slag and descent Brick with some white in it. We exchanged pics and were happy with the trade. They got their marbles first and were extremely happy. Here’s what I got. They weren’t the marbles from the pics. I’m not going to call them out by name. But I hope they open this threadšŸ”„ RAR
  16. Dang it ! I should have mentioned that right awayšŸ”„ RAR
  17. Bob Block is obviously solid and EBay isn’t. I can’t remember who MP ā€˜04 is but here’s one of their Guineas. I won it easily because it was fake for $25 verse a $300 Guinea. At least I didn’t pay $300 plus. But I didn’t know it was a torch made marble. Unfortunately there have been some that have paid the $300 for one like this. šŸ”„ RAR
  18. It was easier to follow Sellers because there weren’t as many in early EBay days as there are today šŸ”„ RAR
  19. Shill Bidders are the other people that use to be tracked and see if they are attached to other auctions. It was usually someone with little auction wins working with the Seller. At least that’s what I have encountered with some auction šŸ”„ RAR
  20. I also saw members post EBay auctions a day ahead of when the auctions were over and asking for advice on bidding and what the high dollar bid might be. I use to call it Board Casting an auction. When they lost and cried about losing the auction they didn’t realize some of us were bidding on that marble as well. I learned early to just watch the auction count down and see how it pans out. You either overpaid, broke even or scored. You’re only plugging someone else’s auction if you do this and making that auction stand out. šŸ”„ RAR
  21. It’s the Golden Turd auctions that are brutal when you fall for the polishing of the Turd. There used to be a Thread in General called the Golden Turd. You would post auctions that were total chicken sh!t when you found auctions on EBay like the above. It takes a lot of policing but we use to do itšŸ”„ RAR
  22. Always check you hand mades! It’s really cool to find one šŸ”„ RAR
  23. Pic 5 looks like Walrus tusks or fangs šŸ”„ RAR
  24. I’d say an Akro Ingot first. Jabo secondšŸ”„ RAR
  25. Kinda looks like a blob šŸ”„ RAR
