Killermarbles Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I actually went to the auction to buy the 7/8 pink lutz, my high bid was 19000. Then I was out bid at 19500 The auctioneer tryed to get me in at 20k But I wondered where it would stop? Then a earlier bidder that stopper for a while jumped back in. I stayed on the side lines after my bid of 19k. This was incredible! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlene Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Beautiful in the pictures! Thanks for the link. I tried to find it earlier but couldn't. Now to watch for the price. Do they ever say where the marbles came from? Like from an estate or whatever? Killermarbles, sorry you didn't get it but you have to draw the line somewhere I think.

lstmmrbls Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 interesting marble that is well documented. it was sold for 1200 then 12,000 now 24,000.(apprx) originally came from a Grandmothers estate. A very deserved collector now owns it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
