wvrons Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Sure $3.00 why not. I have been searching my local Goodwill monthly or bimonthly for ten years. Also searching them to and from shows all over. I have yet to bring one marble home from Goodwill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I gave up on goodwill a while back, most of the good stuff never makes the shelves. a local antique/thrift store reopened recently, found a great Puuko knife and 1930’s blenko vase for pennies on the dollar.

Marbleized Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 My plan was going to be to check out the local thrift shops, since I just moved. But then Covid 19 caused them to close. The last thing I bought at a thrift shop was a button made out of an antler for a dollar. It was the coolest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I got some turquoise marbles at a thrift store. The lady in the sorting area in the back had a bag of marbles for filling in missing marbles from games. She let me go through it and take out all the turquoise ones for a buck. Today I got a bag of mostly cat's eyes from a yard sale -- vintage but common. A few rainbos and all-reds. A beat-up PPP. I told the folks what they had. They enjoyed the lesson and then I asked what they wanted for 'em. They made me pick a price. I offered 10 -- which I think was fair -- and they agreed to it because they trusted my assessment. And I got some other stuff. Might be the first glass marbles I ever got at a yard sale. I found some plastic Star Trek themed marbles once. Yeah ... feels good to find any kind of vintage marbles in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I dream about finding an old marble collection at an estate sale. I also have nightmares about my kids selling my collection at an estate sale...😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
