    Jabo...

    With Veligglass suggested, I poked around a little more...what about a possible Cairo? It does resemble a Hurricane swirl somewhat...the colors are close but with a messed up swirl.
  3. Oh yeah, have fun exploring and learning here, it's a blast πŸ˜πŸ‘
  4. Welcome, Kayla...it generally, for identification purposes, works best too post only a few marbles per thread. It really helps and isn't so "overwhelming". Plus, close ups will provide more detail for those assisting you 😊
  5. Indeed, I remember glancing at them also....
  6. Nice compilation of mibs...for some reason the green one made me instantly think of facehuggers from "Aliens" πŸ‘½πŸ˜‚
  7. I really like some cobalt glass too...
  8. I would have never found it, or even looked, if it wasn't for the Red Slipper ID post. I reorganized the cabinet yesterday and just took a few minutes to run through them. Wouldn't have even noticed it but the sunlight caught those faint, white threads. Barely. Only one I have ever come across. Now I am wondering if I have another jar of clearies underneath the cabinet....
  9. How'd it go today...are ya firing up the fry pan? πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ 🐟
  10. It's been said you liked clearies, here's where I found it....😊
  11. Had a fun Saturday just the two of us farting around the house and yard, found time to do a little makeover too the cabinet, change it up and add the past months new arrivals 😊
  12. I thought it was, those white strands are so pale their almost impossible to see in hand. Don't think they would have showed up without a flash....it's the only one I have like this, such a gorgeous blue. Thanks for chiming in, Steph! By the way, it wasn't the word "clearie" that caught your eye was it? πŸ˜„
  13. My guardians currently on duty....along with a nice, tasty distraction 😊
  14. Back to back days...pure fishing heaven πŸ˜‡
  15. Welcome to MarbleConnection, Cam! You have found yourself a great site with some wonderful, knowledgeable people. Lots of experience working together here too make it an enjoyable collecting experience. Have fun 😊
  16. I've settled on the fact that I would rather find them (treasure hunting, auctions, etc.) then buy them like that. I'll probably never have some of the goodies others have here but at least I wouldn't have the regrets or headaches. Sure, like Chad says, the research into a listing could roll over into a decent purchase (pinpointing that honest seller with the real deal), they are out there. Making money selling on Ebay has its rewards, I've done it many times. But if you don't have that reputation as a good, honest seller, it won't ever be consistent profit-wise. You want the good buyers coming back and spreading the good word about you. Out of hundreds and hundreds of antiques and collectibles I have sold, I only had 1 negative review. And that was on a Garfield Christmas train set I sold from the Danbury Mint. I purchased it 2nd hand and apparently the former owners were smokers. The buyer complained that the porcelain train pieces smelled like smoke. I couldn't smell a thing. As an honest, fair seller, I refunded the gentleman without argument and even thanked him for his purchase and time 😊...I eventually got out of the Ebay selling thing mainly because of the time consumption, the continuing additions of seller listing fees, and the rising costs for shipping. Back then, there weren't near as many crooked sellers as there are these days. My advice to too Ebay shoppers- Research the item, ask questions, read very carefully EVERYTHING in the listing, and check out the sellers rating AND reviews from other customers. Maybe even ask some of the folks here, they might know a seller too hook you up with. Myself, I'll enjoy the hunt and the occasional rewards for the effort put in. I might not ever have some of the awesome mibs some of my collector friends have, but that's ok. I'm happy enjoying how I do it and the people I'm collecting with here. To each his own, but good enough rewards for me 😁
  17. Go get em! 🎣
