wlmmc Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Ok - so you find yourself in a flea market….you see the jar or box….what color swirls or patches etc make you go….hmmmm? How many colors on one marble make you say…yup I’ll buy it and figure it out later… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVacorFan Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I think that depends on what manufacturer you want. I guess purple and lavender or pink is good to look for if you wanna get Jabos or other modern ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe2 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 The size usually captivates my attention, any smaller than 5\8" are a+ for me. Hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I "figure it out" before I buy. I also buy towards a collection theme or goal, not randomly. That way I avoid buying a lot of ballast. But that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoozer Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I look for individual mibs in a jar. Price the mibs as compared to the jar price. Excess mibs get bagged to give to kids at local antique shows. Most kids hate going to shows with their parents, so getting a free bag of mibs makes them happy. I add cigar boxes as I have them for storage. keeps my excess down and salts the community for when I start selling my collection. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I think a 2 and 1/2 Red Latticino handmade is one of the rarest colors I’ve ever seen in hand🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
