Scoop Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Are we questioning "Mr. Frederick Flintstone XXV" ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 You know, there's a distinct possibility this isn't a mistake and the person really thinks the marbles are worth this. I wonder what the reserve is......David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 With a 100,000 opening bid I wonder what the listing fees were?? Or are they the same no matter what opening price is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 The insertion is capped at $2.00 for auctions starting at $200.00 and up.... I can't enlarge the pictures in the auction... My computer has been a little funky lately. Can anyone else enlarge them?? The pictures are just too small to get a good clear look at them. It sure would be interesting if these were somehow authenticated as Native American... Has anyone else seen any that were?? David, it seems like you or Bert would be the "Go To" guys for that kind of info.... Possibly, Alan... Though I've never heard him mention any "confirmed" in his past digging experience. Confirmed or not.... We need to lose a few zeros to that opening bid!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I know these marbles. They were made by a caveman that lived in the area now known as Atlanta, Georgia. He hand crafted them from precious dinosaur bone. They were discovered by Civil War soldiers while digging defensive trenches as Sherman marched in. Very rare.

david Chamberlain Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Bert would be the man but I wouldn't bother him over these. They really appear to be undistinguished crap. Sorry, but even if they did have Native Indian heritage I sure couldn't credit them @ $300,000. Of course, can you imagine what this would do to the price structure for marbles amongst the general public.....Yikes! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba1 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 lol...yah, for 300 grand you think they could cover shipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 After spending that much you'd probably have to go 'ground.' David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushtaka Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Isn't $11 shipping for 10 marbles a little high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manddrakes Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Isn't $11 shipping for 10 marbles a little high? Once it's over 13 oz. first class jumps to $7.00 at least it does when I ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Opp Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'm with Winnie....they're looking for an April Fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Anyone notice that they've dropped the opening bid from $100,000 to $10,000. If this isn't some colossal April Fools auction then this seller is still a believer in what he/she has. Only one day left to jump on these marbles!
