Steph Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/251096683666 They're still at it. The green is looking better. Their best are still the fancies. I used to like bennies a lot. Bid2win has turned me into a bennie cynic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 They are making good money on those, and 100% positive feedback. http://www.ebay.com/csc/youhave2bid2win/m.html?item=251096683666&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc Gutta perchas will probably be next on the agenda.

Speed Racer Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Never did like the bennies anyway, but his is just wrong in all kinds of ways. Check out the brand-spanking newly-made snowy-white clay exposed where they broke them apart after firing. Hey Steph, are these the same crooks we caught buying all the ingredients needed to make these off the bay a couple of years back? And they denied the whole time why they were buying large bulk glazes and colors and clay needed for these? Pre-1970's my ass. If everyone on this board reported them at the same exact time every week, might get some attention. I'm feeling a little cynical myself, but it is time to take a stand for the hobbies' sake. How many of you would be on board for some finger-pointing and button-pushing? Hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Wonder if they ship USPS. Federal offense if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes, these are the same folks, Roger. The eagle bennie people. I don't think ebay cares. Might require tests to prove they're new. I'm not aware of anyone in the know who ever made a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Most probably wouldn't admit it if they did. They're selling alright. It's like zeroing in on a meth lab. >>>There it is!!!>>> Yet we sit and watch and worry somewhat about the people taken to the cleaners. I guess I just feel sorry for them, the people taken to the cleaners, especially in this economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 LOL. It appears we've uncovered another one of the ID's the Birchfield consortium is using to distribute and/or acquire their product. Were we aware of the 2muchstuff4me2buy ID before? I don't remember it among the list of Birchfield ID's we already knew about. But hey, they've made it easier to remember now. On June 30 they changed it to marbleconnection! It wouldn't be the first name tribute they've made. Once when they were p.o.-ed at Pete they registered Land0fMarbles as an ID, with a zero instead of an Oh. Since Pete had LandOfMarbles legally protected ebay scrubbed that name. So here are a couple of their listings for you to enjoy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170871175522 http://www.ebay.com/itm/170871396882 Hey, look! They finally admitted the marbles are modern! Well, how about that! 1970-Now > Hand Made The item description is now "ANTIQUE VINTAGE STYLE CLAY MARBLES OLD BENNINGTON TOY LOT". They added "STYLE" to the keyword bonanza in the old description. (Version from the other account: VINTAGE MARBLES ANTIQUE TOY OLD BENNINGTON CLAY LOT) And one of their photos for posterity .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Marbles Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/...005%26rk%3D2%26 I guess we are making an impact after all. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Only partial. Now it's a possibilty that bidders may think there is an alliance/connection with the board. It can be a blessing though that if bidders do a search they will find the board and learn just what kind of people they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 At least the seller knows someone is watching and cares about what they are doing to the buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
