Btw......what Ever Happened To The Good Marble Deals?

[Akro gatherer]

is it the economy or is everyone just trying to get rich quick. there are no deals on ebay, the flea market or yard sales anymore. i am so tired of not being able to afford clearies because the guy swears that they were his grandfather's and they are in an antique jar. i understand that a marble may book at 1000.00. but if you can only get 500.00 out of itand you tried for a year or so.....guess what it is worth. 500.00. most price guides do go off of the current market. there are a few haves that can afford the big stuff on the bay then there are the have nots who have to dig or bust open spray paint cans to find a marble. (okay maybe it is not that bad but it is pretty bad out there.) when i first started collecting about 1 1/2 years ago, i found deals on the bay, yard sales, and fleaville.......not anymore. i dont know why i posted this.....just want marbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well what are are you looking for ? common / chipped ? Mint ? AKRO ware ?? I see some deals on the bay but then the shipping /handling charges make it a no deal . But if saw these at a sale I would buy !!! Mike

dern! I thought prices were down - you can pick up some nice mibs on the bay now for really cheap. Stuff I was saving up to pay top dollar for a few years ago have come down into the affordable now range.
