Damaged Orbs.

[Joe2]

It's been really difficult for me to purchase and I'm considering not to buy anymore unless I see some change. In a sad State of Mind with production, I have to say almost 90% of the marbles are damaged from handling and I get it the boxes are just too heavy or press for time without care. This is my Squabbling

Bummer, I feel your pain - the undamaged marbles are costing you about 10X what they should.

I feel your pain.  Sellers like Sami Arim (machinemades), Bob Block and Lee (cedarman7) wrap with bubble wrap and the first two with boxes.  Never had any problems with them.

Not just marbles but glass in general. I bought a rare piece of Blenko (charcoal fish)that I had been looking for over 10 years. I was ecstatic when I bought an example on eBay. The seller wrapped in brown Kraft paper and shipped it in an oversized boxed, showed up in 100+ pieces. We were at a local show and I related this to a Blenko seller. I walked around the corner and I literally bowled my wife over reaching for the same fish, for $25.
I’ve had 2 other pieces show up broken since then.

it is heartbreaking to open the package and find damaged goods. 
I now verify that glass will be double boxed, willing to pay the price.
