Mibs

Each roughly 5/8. Thanks in advance.

Approx .68 in size, opaque. Thanks in advance.

Great bundle of mibs. It's very kind of you to being helping your father. With regard to the mibs, I suppose it comes down to how much time you want to spend, and how much money you hope to make. In searching completed listings I didn't see any larger bulk lots of bumbles the size of what you have, so you definitely have something unique in that sense. It's easy to get tripped up on how best to sell things in terms of bundling, price, etc. Try to pick a jumping off point and go from there. If you don't want to hassle with it too much, maybe list the entire lot for whatever price you're wanting. Or, test the waters with a couple smaller lots, and make changes as you go. As an aside, I'm unsure if this forum has a members Sales and Trade section, but perhaps you will find members here who are interested. Additionally, AAM has a Buy Sell Trade section, so if you're a member there as well, you may want to look into it as a possible option. As a Best Practice, always read the respective forum and section rules of what is required, before starting a sales thread. Apologies for the longwinded reply. Hope you make a mint...cheers!

I've come across several of your auction listings, and you seem to be doing quite well the past couple of months. As for the larger quantity of the same style mib, you could sell them any number of ways. Personally, I find smaller lots do better. Large bulk quantities seem to sell for less, as you're typically catering to another reseller, and more specifically, one who doesn't mind parting out the more common mibs, but they too have to make their money, so price is often less. However, if it's something you don't care for, or have too much of, then it may not matter much. In the end, it depends on what type of marble, what quantity is offered, and the overall condition of the marbles in each lot. You can search completed listings and sold listings for groups similar to what you have, to get an idea of what is selling and what has actually sold, based on similar quantities and styles.

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Apologies, as the video attachment posted was far larger than I anticipated. If you search the mighty Goog for Master marbles Chicago World's Fair, then click images, it will show a plethora of boxed sets, etc...cheers!

Excellent! Thanks for the help and reply. I appreciate it...cheers!

I believe you're thinking of Master. If memory serves, Stephen Bahr has a video on Master and discusses them winning the bid for the 1933 World's Fair, which he includes images. I'll try to update with a link of his vid, and a few screen shots from it.

Thank you both. I appreciate the replies...cheers!

Measures roughly an inch. Thanks in advance.

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Thanks to you all for the replies.

Thanks for the reply. Base glass appears greenish in a couple spots, but not all the way through, so it doesn't backlight.

Thanks gents. I appreciate it...cheers!

Some brighter images. Apologies if adding too many. Thanks in advance for any ID help...cheers!

Roughly 5/8, no AV, but has areas of depth with tiny bubbles and furnace debris. Will update with better images shortly. Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping Heaton, but my gut tells me Jabo Classics. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully it's not another Vacor. Here are more images. Thanks in advance...cheers!

It appears two were listed on the bay just yesterday, both already with bids. It'll be interesting to see closing prices. Good to see these are still sought after.
