david Chamberlain Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well, I've provided you all with the best possible source for help in this matter but you must understand that while I may be able to absolve you of sin you will still have guilt. It comes with the territory. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Me too! I think I'll go to a quiet corner & reflect on my past transgressions. Oh, wait that's another program Great set of mibs & box. Ah, for the good ole 80's. When people responded to. " have any marbles?" With "NO I lost mine". marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pene-lope Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Is it a sin if I feel no guilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I can work out something different for you Ann but I'm not sure it would conform to scripture. Yeah, according to the Block marble pricing structure switching guilt for sin would require a value factor of 1.5 to 2x for each of the ten step marbles. Might even involve jail time.

manddrakes Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Very nice Diane! Attached below is a link with a set of four Christensen agate swirls and if you look at the seller other items you will see that they are selling sets of 4 in five seperate auctions. Now this will give you a good idea what your marbles may be worth. This is not including the fact that your marbles may be 3/4, which will bring a better bid. Hope this helps!

Diane C. Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hello: I can't believe it's been 10 years since this conversation! Anyway, I've thoroughly enjoyed owning these marbles and took pleasure in how excitedly people responded to the photos on the thread! Now I have a kid entering college and I'm thinking it's time to sell. What's the best way to go about that? Are there reputable places to buy/sell marbles besides eBay? Thanks in advance for any advice! Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi. For non-ebay, and not at a marble show, Morphy Auctions is a consideration: https://www.morphyauctions.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Another possibility is to go ahead and list on ebay but with a high reserve. Then the prospective bids you get could give you an idea of value, plus you'd likely get contacts from potential buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane C. Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks Steph, you have good advice. I worry a bit about ebay since I don't have a recent presence there as a seller and wonder about buyers' confidence, but going through an intermediary takes a significant chunk. I'd hoped to find an exchange board among marble collectors who buy/sell/trade amongst themselves but I haven't found something like that. It doesn't look like there's a marble show in Seattle in 2020. So I admit I'm a little stuck, but this will resolve one way or another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane C. Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The high reserve approach is clever, I will chew on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
