lifeisgood81 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Not sure if I will re-list these or not, unless I can figure out what I did wrong. Please be honest and brutal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/Ravenswood-Chinese-Che...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Thanks in advance, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 In my opinion, that is a rare box and most of the value would be in the box, not necessarily the marbles. However the box is in extremely poor condition, kind of like a rare marble in really bad shape, hard to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro gatherer Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 in my opinion.........the lamp would have sold for 130.00 or so. money is tight these days. plus the shipping seemed a bit high. the ravenswood box is rare but poor condition. hard to tell if the marbles are authentic. not saying they are not but ebay liars have hurt the honest part of the business. plus again shipping seems a bit high. nice stuff just commenting as asked. p.s. i never bid on reserve auctions because the opening bid is hidden and i do not like that. maybe others felt the same way. i always start bid at the least i would take that way people know what to bid or not.

lifeisgood81 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Ya, I hit the wrong button during the shipping part, but added an edit offering free shipping, guess people just didn't see the edit. Think you may be right about the box. It is pretty beat-up. Being so rare, I guess people are leary. The last time I posted pictures on this board 5 years ago of my first box of Ravenswood CC, I got a lot of flak from a person who's name starts with the letter T. The first set of Ravenswood CC I sold on Ebay for quite a bit of money, but that was over 5 years ago, and sadly I never kept a copy of the original auction. Thankfully someone on here did keep the pics of the CC in with the Mint box. Thank you for the input, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 It was condition of the box. As Smitty knows,i would have been all over the box,but the condition is just to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 can't speak for the other bidders but I couldn't reach the reserve price on the bottle stopper. :Happy_050: Was I close? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Mon. 4/13/2009 Hi there, I wish there were a photo of the box still posted so that I could get my 2 cents in. Is it one of them that's shown in the Ravenswood four page, 8 1/2"x11" orange-cover advertising flyer? And maybe a separate photo of the marbles in question.

wvrons Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 David click on the link in the first post-ebay Ravenswood Chinese Checker. It was one of the Ravenswood Novelty chinese checker box and marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
