Cj91030 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Do you see many good marbles, or is this mostly cheap marble kings? vintage "bumblebee", oxbloods, swirls, corkscrews, patches, etc. These marbles range from 5/8" to 11/16" with a few 1" shooters.

sclsu Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 It does look like a mix of several vintage makers. Condition doesn't look great, and nothing stands out as uncommon or rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj91030 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ok thanks, what's the value per marble for a lot like this? 15 cents each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 If you're interested in resale, that's probably high compared to what you could get back for them. But with my fondness for bumblebees I might pay that much to get those and then just enjoy sorting the rest. I'd guess ten cents a marble might be closer on average, but don't take my word for it. @sclsu, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj91030 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Thank you, I just bought the lot at about 15 cents each. I just got into making boro marbles and my vintage marble collection was looking pretty sad. I just wanted to make sure they were what they were advertised as. Now I need to get a couple lattacinos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 10 cents apiece sounds right. Some might be worth a dollar or two, but most have no collector value so it averages out to about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hey, when you need a marble fix, you do what you gotta do, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I would have probably had to buy them at 15 cents each too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj91030 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Cool, thanks for the help. I got some german lattacinos today, for like 5$ each. I should be recieving these soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj91030 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ugh, just got these. Was supposed to be 200+, theres 149, about 20 of which are badly damaged (cracked, or more than 10% missing in large chips). There are some nice ones, but it brings the price i paid close to 30 cents each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 awww .... was it ebay? If so then you can get a refund for the misrepresentation of amount. Or I guess you can enjoy the nice ones and let it go. We all have our expensive lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 What a bummer... Didn't get all the marbles they promised. COMPLAIN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yep, don't get too upset. The bay will usually make the buyer happy no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
