There are a lot more it just depends on what your looking for, I personally haven't bought from Ebay since 2003, all my purchases have been private sellers or from marble shows.
Man marble shows are wonderful. I wish I had the privilege to attend more of them... Talk about paying a truly fair price for a marble
When compared to that, eBay is definitely a bit inflated... But it's like buying a new car in 2023, you buy where you can, thus a new market value for new/used vehicles is born 😂 🤣
Sadly so....
Even well executed rainbos now are fetching a fair price in a good color way... Most old timers would never spend 5 to upwards of 30 dollars on a nice rainbo. But they are becoming more collectable, Im starting to see it happen all of the time
Getting crazy out there 🫣

This looks like an intentionally collected tray of vintage marbles lol. So of course there are good ones. Lots of really good ones lol.
I don't see any aqua milks personally but there are a couple good examples of a true buttermilk. Red ribbon opposing a blue and red ribbon with buttery yellow

But yea a marble is gonna sell for what someone will pay for it, so absolutely start it low, and it will likely sell for what it's worth

# 14 also resembles a Vacor IMHO, the orange peel texture and ribbon structure is wrong for Pelt & are Vacor traits. Pricing is all a matter of perspective, Ebay is a bad place to base any type of pricing on. The prices are all over the map & I see marbles daily selling as something they obviously aren't, people are simply buying into the sellers jargon. That being the reason we have "Reputable Sellers" their pricing is current market, many of the sellers start @ $9.99 or less & let the marble sell itself, the Ebay list are here @ the top on the menu to @ least partially protect our board members from all the scammers. If you can possibly make it to a show you'll find 99% of the people are honest & will work w/ you & try to give you a hand in your pricing & or selling endeavors.
I have to disagree just a little on eBay being unreliable... Yes there are many misrepresented marbles listed, but given the fact you are halfway capable of id'ing marbles, if you look at multiple true examples of COMPLETED dragons, cub scouts, Spiderman, zebra etc, you are gonna wind up with a pretty good ballpark of what yours will sell for. Just use some discretion and common sense and always watch the reputable sellers like many you have listed... Cedarman7 is great. eBay is a great platform and in a lot of ways is a cornerstone for the marble market value so to speak. There's just not many other places to buy and sell. Just do your research and be confident in your bid before you go bidding over 20 on something and you'll almost never lose your arse in my opinion

I'm not so sure 10 is a superboy though. Looks like a nice early rainbo with superboy colors
Pink panther is a rare marble... I'm not so sure that one would be "pink" enough to justify me spending big bucks on it. That would be a hard one to price, rare marbles...
Could go for 25 could go for 125 who knows

Pic 7 and 8 are common. Pic 9 and 10 are marbles of interest because of there size. 11 is a new one for me. I have never heard of a Pink Panther. That doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. I’m just not schooled enough to know the color combo on that one. 12 is what you say it is.
8-9 Common at .50 cents
9 and 10. Start at $10 and see what happens.
Pink Panther 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
The Zebra ? $3.00 unless it has AV. If so I’d say $5.00
OK I just stuck my neck out by posting these numbers. 🔥

Just go on eBay and check comps. AV zebras 12-north of 20 depending on pattern. Superboy's, I wouldn't think would touch a hundred. A good Superman will go well north of 100 but the superboys I would think 35 to 55 or better depending on pattern and condition...
eBay is your best friend, check completed listings

I apologize I was just trying to maybe take an opportunity to pick up some marbles... I wasn't trying to break or circumvent any rules. Just saw an opportunity and was interested is all

Look like jabo to my eyes
third one has a vitro-ey vibe not 100% sure
-
I might negotiate for the entire collection if you want to talk about it you can pm me
-
If I were just to wildly guess, or list these myself at "buy it now"
Id ball park it as such:
45-50$
25-30$
10-15$
10-15$
10-15$
And for the last one I'm not sure I've seen many examples of this one

Some nice alleys in there!

I have acquired quite a few dazzling jabo and/or DAS contract run possibly? Marbles over the last couple years... Anyone versed enough in these runs to help me ID them if I post them a couple at a time?
Thanks in advance!

Looks like one id throw with my jabos then 2 years later find out it's a banger 😂🤘

Jimbo, I’m assuming you mean this one? (I’m directionally challenged) it was sold to me as a Heaton that was NOT a dug marble. I’m i’m brand new to marveling, so all I do is that other people were bidding at it, and it ended in the middle of the night, so I could snipe it. It did come from seller on eBay, who is usually pretty accurate with identification. But I don’t know. I’m pretty much just buying what I like, s as bf trying not to get fleeced 😂
Ahhh there we go! Well it may very well be Heaton, but it's definitely not a tracer lol. It sure is a good looking marble! I'm not very good at identifying anything outside of Christensen or alley.. WV swirls require a PHD it seems like to me 😂
Heaton Cairo Jackson Ravenswood Alley Champion 🫨

The marble on the right is a smoker lol...
Something seems kind of special about that one in the middle...I wish I could roll it around in my hand and get a real good look at it lol

Here’s a pic of some grandstands I think you’ll like, then.
That's what I'm talkin about! The marble from the fourth row to the right, the fourth marble down in the top box has really got my interest... Would you mind giving a close up!? From here it almost looks like a pelt tracer with really exaggerated tracers
-
Def a rainbo to my eyes! They are my favorite type of marble. So many variations just like the tri lite, another one of my favorites
That little swoosh of white on top is a nice touch, looks like a squirt of toothpaste 😁

Good job Jimbo.59!'
The first image--the one on the left is more that likely an Alley Agate swirl.
The Christmas Tree I will not blame you for--it does show some green--but green was used as black by many marble makers--this one is a "Rebel"--maybe a crossover--but still a "Rebel" imho.
The shooter--- I have seen this color combo in smaller Pelts. This one needs more images of the cutmarks to tell the truth.
Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.
Merry Christmas and--
Marble--On!!
Thanks Buddy! That swirl on the left is pretty mesmerizing... I'm digging it
-
Vitro superior in the middle that's a great marble, pelt on the right... left one I'm not sure
Second group some NLR, you got a Spiderman, a Christmas tree and a zebra with a regular rainbo maybe a champ jr?
Big one looks like a cat eye I can't tell
A little knocked around but still great!
-
Classic c shaped ribbon too I think you nailed it 😉
-
Anyone know what run or era these are associated with? I have a bag of about 80 of them so I assume they aren't too uncommon but I have been curious about them!
Thanks in advance

Dang ! I'll take a shot and say Vacor🔥
RAR🍿
Noted! It does look like pretty old glass but I forget vacor has been at it for awhile now
Are all of these CAC’s?

They all look right to me for what it's worth, I am kind of struggling with that green one at the very bottom... The base glass just looks kind of odd the way I'm seeing it
