I'd be tempted to start higher.  Maybe put it at $9 on one of those month-long fixed price listings, and maybe someone would pick it up when they bought another of your listings.

Well, good luck.  Make sure you don't take a hit on shipping if you put it lower. 

Thanks Steph. I'll either try that or try selling more at a time for about the same shipping cost. I have about 50 -75 of the 1" cat eye shooters. I picked those 6 because they were 1 1/8. Maybe I'll have better luck selling 20 - 25 at a time. I definitely don't want to take a hit on the shipping or let them go for next to nothing. I'm sure I'll sell them eventually. If not, they'll make a nice gift for my future grand kids :). Thanks again Steph.

If the title did not say the size, the potential buyers might have just passed it over looking at the picture, thinking they were 5/8 size.

I specified the size. Had all 6 on bid for a week. Starting bid at $3.99 and no bites. Maybe I'll try again with a lower starting price. 

I'm starting to find out cats aren't real popular. I had these listed on ebay for pretty cheap and didn't get one bid. These are a bit bigger. About 1 1/8". Having better luck just selling large lots of marbles and throwing some of the cateye shooters in with them.

The 6 vane, 3 way crossthrus used to have more value as did the 9 vane (3 color types) (exterior vanes) - still have more value than commons but...

but...they're still just  cats eyes?

Yeah ... Akro cork   

Thanks

Thanks again Steph. I'm slowly learning.

Thank you Steph. I know cats eyes aren't the most sought after marble, but are there any that are considered collectible or have much value?

Been here a few weeks so I guess I should introduce myself. So about 10 years ago I bought a 35 gallon trash can full of marbles for $50 at a garage sale. About 300 lbs of marbles.  The guy was moving and desperate to get rid of them. Anyway, I'm trying to sell most of them now on ebay, but I'll keep a collection for myself of any nice ones I find. A special thanks to those who have helped me identifying marbles.

I echo the other's sentiments. Thanks to all who serve the nation.

Can't tell you what the marbles are, but I'm impressed with your coin collection as much as your marble collection.

Found this old cats eye. About 1". 

I'm not positive the bottom left is a corkscrew. Has somewhat of a corkscrew pattern, but not as defined as the other corkscrews I have. Here's a couple more pictures of it.

Steph, Thank you for all the info on my last 3 batches. Besides the modern Asian ones and the others you didn't identify, would the others be considered vintage? I'm not sure what age marbles qualify as vintage.

All about 5/8

Sizes range from 1/2 - 5/8.   

The 2 smaller ones are about 5/8. The 3 larger ones about 3/4. Bottom left has a corkscrew pattern. Blue part of bottom right is iridescent.

Thanks again Steph

Thanks to both of you for your help.

Thank you so much Steph

Thank you Steph

Thanks Al

Tricky.  Bottom middle is modern.  Vacor de Mexico.

I'm thinking odd Vitro on bottom left.  

Unsure of age or country of origin for bottom right.

 

I'll go nice Vitro on top middle.  

Top left made me think Vitro first but I'm wobbling.  Now not sure between Vitro, Marble King or even possibly a modern foreign marble.  But mostly trying to decide between Vitro and less common Marble King.

Top right -- more views?

Thanks again Steph. A couple more pics of top right.

I think maybe Akro corkscrew on all but the top right.  The bottom middle gave me second thoughts for a bit, but I think probably Akro. 

  My first feeling on the top right was Jabo.  Maybe more photos of that  one?

Thanks Steph. Here's more pictures of the top right..

These range in size 3/4 - 7/8
