icunow Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Can you recomend a good hotel or motel to stay at close to where the auction is going to be? Gry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Motel 6 is literally right next to it. Phone # 330-339-6446. I think their rate is $29- $32 per night. There are also several fancier hotels within a few blocks, Schoenbrunn Inn #330-339-4334, Hampton #330-339-7000, and Super-8 #330-339-6500, also- Knights Inn #330-339-4116.

zigafoose Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Anyone go to the first one? Big crowd? Good prices????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 We had around 45 bidders, some sold high and some low, the feedback I got was that most were very pleased with how organized it was, something for everyone, from high end marbles to jars full of commons, this time there will be over 100 jars of machine mades to choose from, jars of pelt rainbos, vitros, marble kings, catseyes, West Virginia swirls etc. One change we made is....this time it will be a 3 hour preview starting at 9:00 because there are so many marbles to check out!

feelnmarbleous Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Smitty, i will be certainly attending this one even if not to buy, i want to check out some of the stuff there. I have a question for you though, what does this mean "Thousands of unsorted marbles in jars!" ? does it mean you have jars of mibs that have not been gone through period ? or just not put in groups by company ?

smitty Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 150 jars for this auction from pint size to half gallon, George had some of them sorted by company others are just a mixture. If we noticed anything that would bring big money, we pulled it out, but there are still loads of $2-$10 marbles in the jars. We sell the jars by choice throughout the auction.
