Steph Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I really have no idea how much people who buy Wales style marbles would pay for them .... How much are they worth?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Are you talking about a bag of Wales marbles? There are many different style bags with different marbles in them, like basic cat's-eyes, 3 way crossthru cat's-eyes or the variegated (as they spell it) or the ones that look like Vitro Conquerors. Or are you talking about a single marble, like the Vitro lookalikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 The Vitro lookalikes. That fella yesterday was acting like we were pulling the rug out from under the value of his conquerors by calling them Japanese. Just got me wondering .... how does the value of one of those conqueror lookalikes compare to the common conqueror? Neither would be very valuable. Might the Japanese marble actually be worth more?

orbboy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I sold a single Vitro looking one with a patch that looked like painted on green Aventurine nail-polish for $15.00 I have another one like it that has a big blow hole in it that I consider pretty much worthless. Even though it has way more Green on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 From a $ value on the marbles themselves, I have no idea. From a finding them standpoint, I obviouly find far fewer of the Wales bags with the Conqueror lookalikes than I do Vitro bags with Conquerors. So, at least from that standpoint, that would make me think that the individual Wales marbles might be a little more valuable. Here are pics of a couple of the Wales bags for people that are not familiar with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think one would be happy to get anything for them unless outstanding color and aventurine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
