Steph Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Dangit! I was THAT close. I can't abide cats. Except for Brother, Joe, the Batweasel, Jean Ann, Kedo, Erbert, and maybe some others. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. Thanks for playing though.

Ally Opp Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yeah, I know what you mean. Cats are too smart, too independant, and just too damn unpredictable! Alas, our smoozing could have been historic. But it is probably for the best. I do have a really obnoxious cat--one of 2, who seems to think he knows more about marble photograhpy than I do. I will post his antics later. His name is Archie. Archabald when he is in trouble. Thanks for the brief interlude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 What is sad is that she has made $850.00 or so (quick mental math) in the last 2 weeks flogging this crap. All the seller is guilty of really is being lazy. How can she control nut jobs bidding silly money on what she is just cranking out? There are flash in the pants sellers like this from time to time on the bay. Eventually it will peter off and she will end up selling "assorted vintage marbles group #1" ect ect.. like a number of other picker sellers on ebay.

m!b$ Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I used to write off people like that as "stupid", but I've come to the realization that they are smarter (maybe "crafty" is a more appropriate word) than I gave them credit for being. They have an impressive degree of psychologically perceptive insights into human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Time to change the seller id...let's see how this Jabo does, now that she officially sells "vintage" marbles... Another Jabo Woodstock Oops, forgot about not posting eBay links. Oh well, nobody's going to be able to afford this one anyway...

m!b$ Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Wonder if she's buying them from this guy, using another user id. He doesn't even bother to change his photo from week to week. Doesn't get much for them either. He's been selling them two a week for quite awhile now... Woodstocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorepatty Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I've got a seventh sense for deviousness. David I have wicked sense of humor, does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I finally figured out where she's getting all those 3/4" mineral marbles that she's been selling for ten times what she paid for them. (Remember this thread...about the seller that lives in the 150 year old house where she found marbles in the basement in dirty jars...) She gets them here... ...and she sells them here... I actually bid on this marble, knowing it was a newer mineral marble, of course, but not knowing the first thing about what they sell for...

m!b$ Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I just sent her this message: Dear tammysvintagemarbles, I finally figured out where you've been getting all those 3/4" mineral marbles that you've been pretending you found in the basement of your 150-year-old house: http://www.landofmar...al-spheres.html Let's see if she still calls herself "your friend", if she replies at all...

david Chamberlain Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi m!b$, Thought I'd get Tammy really paranoid and just sent her a message via eBay: "You and your basement marbles have been had!" That might not bring it to a halt buy maybe it will slow her down. Next time they'll be from the back yard! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Her reply: Well I'm sorry your wrong...I do not buy them. I really did find them in my basement. Sorry to burst your bubble. And I really do live in a 150 old home. If you don't want buy them then don't. I would hope you have better things to do then harrass me. And have a great weekend..Your friend Tammy - tammysvintagemarbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 lol. well, that shows you. now don't you feel sorry for thinking that her Jabo was modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Actually, I feel foolish for entertaining the possibility that she might change her ways in the least... Of course she's still my friend...however she might define that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 heres her out,,"PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SOME OF THESE MARBLES MIGHT BE NEWER I'M NOT A EXPERT..." jeepers good detective work there, mini pavcrap seller if ya ask me,, bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hey now... C'mon... Let's not be too hasty here.... She says she found them in her basement... The basement of a house 150 years old, could be dirt, yes?? We have NO IDEA how long she's been digging in that basement!! Check your globes people!!

david Chamberlain Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Let me get this straight because I'm limited in eBay smarts but if I punch in tammy'svintagemarbles or something to that effect when I get to eBay I'll be able to scope in on whatever her latest offerings are so that I can be a regular HARASSER of her ass? Has anyone yet let her know that she has been ID'd at the main marble IDing board for marble collectors? Maybe we should start a Marble Hall of Infamy. I know we have eBay Seller Lists to Keep and eye on but maybe this should be institutionalized. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 'Been there, Done that, David!!! Questionable Ebay Sellers We keep it in the squabble Zone, cuz it's not really what we want to be about... (she says with a questionable tone??) It probably should be mentioned more often though.... Let me see if I can find you a link.... HOWEVER!!! I must warn you that... We have had ebay sellers come here to bitch at us before... It's not always fun. It may end up over at SZ (Squabble Zone...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
