  1. The sad part is that their are many sellers on E Bay that are legitimately selling items and want to do it right. I’m one of them. 
    I’ve sold a lot of things including some Marbles (big mistake). I had no idea that this community existed.  When I bought the cigar boxes full of marbles from an estate sale I only wanted the boxes.  I couldn’t in good conscience continue to sell them without doing research. You all have been the best and have really helped me.   I now have all these marbles and the more I research them the less I’m willing to part with them.  I really appreciate and I’m grateful! 
    I included the lot I sold before I knew what I was doing. 
    Where are some of the best places to sell marbles?

  2. I’m jumping in I might be wrong but I think trying is how we learn. Please be nice I’m learning 

    One  marble looks like oxblood has clear area in one spot and when I turn it has a streak of yellow and oxblood  looking translucent material almost looks purple visually this marble has many different looks just by turning it at different angles. 

    size 16.5  mm  translucent any information 

    The other 3 I’m guessing after watching video on Vitro agate trilites or are they something different 

    blue white translucent green glass one is 15.5 mm

    blue white and clear size 15.6

    orange white and clear is 16.3

     

    Learning and I learn by doing please all any help appreciated

  3. The purple one is 20.1 mm or 0.79 inches if I’m using the caliper right.  They are all so different. It’s fascinating. 
    Please understand I’m totally ignorant when it comes to marbles. These were in 3 old wooden cigar boxes that looked like a books.  I collect books for my oldest.  
    Would you explained what you mean by slag please?

    Thank You very much
