marbles34 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 My father scored these parrots at a local auction today!! They are all between 7/8" and 1" and mint condition! Four of them even have adventurine in the green! How much does the adventurine affect the price of these marbles compared to a parrot without it?? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Marbles Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wow, Nice Parrots!! How much does the aventurine affect the price of these marbles compared to a parrot without it?? I would guess + 30-50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 wow, wow, nice find,, agree, aventurine is a big plus, this is such a condition sensitive group because their veneered color, a few yrs ago each one would have brought 60 to 75 bucks a pc, but have come way down in recent years,, i love the green in them, again nice haul,,, bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Great looking group! One of my favorite marble types. I agree with Big John, prices have dropped over the last couple years. Still a very marketable marble though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semdot Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Adventurine is a small premium maybe 20%. Condition affects value the most. The amount of white also has a drastic affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
