Hi Everyone. I probably know several of you on here. I have been selling for a few years now and have a true appreciation for all kinds of mibs. Sometimes I go hog wild with naming and people get upset and then I have to cut back. I have noticed for a while now Peltier Collectors have gone "out of control" lol with names. I really think this comes from a lot of people being passionate about different types and having fun with naming them. I don't have a problem with this at all. I also like to name marbles sometimes but I will always put an ASTERIX * in the title by the name with an explanation. I will be pairing down the naming over the next couple months so it does not get too confusing over which names I came up with and which ones are VETTED marble names and have been generally accepted by marble collectors. As with all things, there are changes, and keeping marbles current and relavent to new collectors has it's place along with old classics that will never "get old" so to speak. There are also some rare cases where if I find a marble name offensive or not okay to say I will call it something different but still reference the old name in the body of the listing.

Anyway I know how it can be when marble sellers "go rogue" and this is not my aim. Looking for constructive feedback and input from people willing to be kind and understanding with criticism and Learning. I firmly believe we can begin to see eye to eye if we don't already, with a little understanding and cooperation :)

Yay! Hawkeye! I've bought many marbles from you! Love every single one of them. Still have them all and I appreciate still, all the passion that you share as you sell. Haven't been able to buy many lately, but I'm always looking and am so happy to see that your auctions are going well! I love the names that you come up with. I know that there are a couple of schools of thought on naming marbles. I like that you are making a distinction between the established names and the names that you create. For me, that's the main thing, that everyone knows the difference. IMO. Looking forward to your posts! Best wishes!
