davesnothere Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 All the antique dealers around me are shutting down. the recent tariffs Make it impossible to buy outside Canada and subsiding sales on ebay has flattened as well. I can't find marbles anywhere đ« or anything else that I collect. Blah blah! It's been a slice thanks to you all that have been nice enough to help me ID my mibs.

I cannot speak for @Fire1981 (well maybe a littleđ) but if you need some to look at--I will send some--a box full. I am trying hard not to get political here--not accepted @TheMarbleConnection ( stay out of the politics everyone--I will delete it )--but this will pass also, politics. You need a good fix with marbles? I am there for you and you will not be dissapointed. Just PM me your address and the game is on! I encourage everyone to send a few up north to our old friend @davesnothere. Marble--On!!. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I made a print--it faded out, these are metal and it worked on day two-some guy on a motorized skate board(really)?? We had some hail damage in the area last year and I was constanly getting bugged about a new roof. One guy put his foot in the door--with me! (Instant Pissed) I payed up for nice expensive roofing about three years ago. No damage here. I was more worried about my windows-bang, bang, Bang--I guess that I did them right too. The clicker was when some old dude ( yah, I am old too but this guy pissed me off and I will not be pushed around) selling religion got in my face through the screen door about reading the Bible (nothing against that--just stay out of my face and do not judge me--or get angry with me). I am glad that the ladies stayed in the carđ. I am a nice guy--I think--but limits are limitsđ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
