[MARBLEMISER]

Just wondering where these marbles are

made?

There seems to be dozens on ebay.

Along with more nothing mibs for .59. How does

one make $$ selling these mibs for $1.04 & .99 cents??

The amount of junk on the bay is amazing?

any thoughts??

Edna gave me a modern Chinese millifiore (sp?). Not as large or colorful as this seller's but same style of marble.

Marblemiser,

Yes, Steph is correct.

Chinese origin and made in the style of Gerry Coleman marbles.

1) Pull a bunch of cane.

2) Fuse into a long bundle.

3) Cut into shorter cylinders (or cubes).

4) Grind off excess corners or edges.

5) Finish in a sphere machine.

Sincerely,

John McCormick

Just the way this guy babbles on and on you know you're getting into deep do do no matter what he says. I can only imagine how hilarious it would be to reach an understanding if you were disappointed with what you received. Is there a funny farm somewhere where they grow types like this? David

Look at his completed auctions. Some are selling $30.00+ each.

That seller just puts them out there. Some are 'junk' but some are vintage and unusual so people buy them. Likewise for the newer type like this one - pretty marble. Not a bad place to keep an eye on but you run through a hundred to find one or two worth bidding on.

Thank's everyone for the info & knowledge.
