pedidoll Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I haven't been watching anywhere for marbles that are for sale as I am having a bit of a cash flow problem and am thinking of selling some of my peltiers and alleys but if the market is on the slow side I will have to come up with a plan B. Can anyone tell me if the market is strong or weak? The peltiers would be my green rebels and the alleys are some oddballs. Thanks in advance!!

pedidoll Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was really just asking about marbles in general guys...like does 50 dollars get you more or less today than 6 months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 High end stuff is going well, you will probably be happy, although reserves seem to keep some folks from bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedidoll Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Why does it deter people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 It's psychological. If there is no reserve then people start the bidding low because you think that (even subconsciously) you're going to get it cheap, then as the bidding goes up, you are already emotionally invested in the piece and keep on bidding so the other guy/gal can't get it. Also, bidding activity tends to cause more bidding, because it causes people to think that the item is something special if there is so much interest in it. Generally an item will sell for more if it has no reserve, than if it has a reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Marbles Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 my 1 cent thought on this.... Well I think marble's are getting higher for opening bid... pelt's for example. But I still seem to have the same issues as always: watching auction an then the seller end's auctions for bin's. A good example of this was my recent sale, I have 35 people wanting me to end my auction early... I image that this goes on with most/all auction of interest.... ??? --side note-- Anyway, I still have my website that I'm still working on. I have two new cabinets and photographing everything as I put them into it. So far I have the pelts up. I won't price anything till the photo's are done for everything... maybe a month or so. I'm currently on my CAC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I for one just don't bother with reserve auctions. Live or online Don't know why exactly. Just kinda seems to take the fun out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 For me, a reserve makes me feel like there is no chance of getting a deal, and makes me way less interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedidoll Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have had several people ask me what my reserve was. And I told them. I'm really not selling it to give someone a "deal" and if I had more time I would send it to chad on consignment. Which I still may end up doing. Im selling it cuz I need the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
