Madcap Laughs Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just got into collecting Masters and started out getting mibs from friends for around $5-$6 each...Now that I am a little further more into things, I'm definitely noticing the high prices (Speaking on ebay and from other sellers). What is the general price range for a Master mib? I know that sounds like a very basic question. How do I find out the worth of these marbles? For instance, is this a $35.00 marble? I know that worth can be relative, but how do sellers come up with these prices? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyDadLovedMarbles Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I looked up Master Marbles in one of my dad's books. I took some pictures of what I believe is relevant information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Size and condition are very important in determining marble prices. Also, Ebay tends to be artificially high. If you can attend a marble show, I think you will find better prices and a more realistic idea of value. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit banged up, so it's unsellable! Pretty one you have.i think it has a prize name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
