Steph Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Dang! Good luck. Are you sure you don't want to break those up into smaller lots? I'd think some of the Vitro items would have great appeal as standalones. Edit: and I made that comment before I even saw the Blackbeard's Treasure Chest box. But seriously good luck.

mmuehlba Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I thought Jackson marbles never made it to market ?/ and as far as yellow jackets ?? well I think I will hi jack this post . Mike http://www.ebay.com/itm/181353342574?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 some are what some call yellow jackets by some collectors these are harder to find there are a lot in this lot as in all other lots I would pull and save and now there coming to an end of the all reds I had so there in this lot . yes I think this is a hijacking .

Steph Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Does this link work to view all the pics? p.s., I just noticed a Vitro box I've never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I agree with Steph that you are probably losing out on selling it all in one lot. I know that I won't bid on the whole thing but I would bid quite high on several individual items. What is the reserve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmuehlba Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 yes always would do better splitting the lots unless ?/ there are a lot of item with high reserve just to get ?? . as far as the Jackson are ?/ the label ? It is believed that Jackson Marble Company produced only about two boxcars full of marbles, an extremely small amount considering the millions made by other manufacturers. Most if not all of these marbles were sold to other marble companies rather than directly to the retail market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marbles inside of the 2 Jackson bags have been view first hand by several persons that are vey credible and agree they are Jackson marbles.

Killermarbles Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 How much is the reserve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigafoose Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 You will notice in with the Vitro 8 Fingers are some oddballs that I came across over the years at the old plant. Some people will say the white based ones were made out in Washington but you can see the 2 "flats" that I found also at the plant in WV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I believe hidden reserves on Ebay auctions keep some possible bidders(that may have the money to win) from bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigafoose Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I believe hidden reserves on Ebay auctions keep some possible bidders(that may have the money to win) from bidding. If someone has enough disposable income to spend that much on marbles they wont be afraid of a hidden reserve. Bid what you wanna pay and if its not meet then move on,sometimes it pays off. As a side not the reserves is close to being met....you could be the lucky winner Galen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg11 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 yeah Galen, this is right up your alley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I really liked it but don't like hidden reserves. I was really talking about me(LOL) For some reason I like them much less than a high opening bid. And that was a very nice price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
