zul32 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'm not looking for anything expensive, just something that will work. I read (I think on this forum) that for the beginner collectors (yeah, that's me) to get a caliper to measure the marble you acquire. So, I do a lot of shopping on Amazon, but I also wasn't sure if say Wally-world was an option? Suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Try and find cheap plastic ones, they are easier on the marbles. and only a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I also ordered one ... had been on my shopping list. Mine came without a battery though there's a spot in the packaging material for the battery. I've messaged the seller. Did yours arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 THis one is smaller and does fractions. https://www.ebay.com/itm/General-Tools-1433-Fraction-Plus-Digital-Fractional-Caliper-Carbon-Fiber-3-Inc/282626386748?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zul32 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi Yes, mine arrived but it's still sealed up. It's a Christmas present my wife is going to wrap it up and stick it under the tree so I can't look at it right now at all. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 lol Seller wrote back. Sounded like was saying "what you see is what you get", but I wrote back and now he has offered a partial refund. It's just a few dollars ... but it's the principle of the thing ... and all that. So if he gives me the partial refund I'll give him positive feedback for communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zul32 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yeah, positive feedback is everything on eBay, so he'd much rather take the hit in the short run than ruin their rep. Good deal. Glad that they worked it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentonacres Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thanks for this post. I ordered the one that does fractions on Amazon Prime. Merry Christmas to me. And hopefully I can soon get my "sales system" up and read to start offering some of my collection for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
