I gotta be honest,images sell and help

I see mostly, on the top, common Alley agates and Pelt Rainbos
Now, there may be something rare here,but unless it is in-hand or there are detailed images, I cant tell.
I tell people to use a camera and set it to 3 meg so I can download and zoom in
I think Duffy would agree with this

He means start them at 3.99 and auction style.

i am a firm fan of .99 unless it is an obscure item
In marbles, they ALWAYS get seen by everyone.
I see people starting at higher prices and if it is a 7 day listing, everyone still sees it. It is about hunting and getting that 1 rare item for nothing, which seldom happens unless the seller does Sepeku by bad photos
I saw someone get a 500.00 marble last week because the photos were bad and I think he paid 3.00

Duffy did u see my urianum post could use help with that post too... btw is this book any good?
Identification and Price Guide by Robert Block I have the 2012 ed ordered I bought all the marbles in this post an urainium post for 20-25.00 was that a good Buy?

 

[duffytrash]

yes the book is ok...but the p[rices are always high in those books/...a better book for identifying marbles is american machine made marbles by six-johnson and metzler...

what do you think of the price I paid? for those marles?

 

[duffytrash]

yes!! good deal....you could easily double your money....i feel comfortable spending 20$ a quart....the way i come to that is in a jar all marbles are a quarter a piece...sorted and classed...the keepers identified and valued...thats where you make your money....condition is the key...any hits & scratches could make a 20$ marble worth less....dont rely on marble book prices....15 years ago the books and collectors thought the marble king spiderman was worth over 300$....there was a huge warehouse discovery of them and the market was flooded so now theyre lucky to get 3.00.....dont spend too much..youll be ok....knowledge is the key...if your on facebook...look for the site --good old marbles....

 

[creeper71]

Thanks Duffy your always very helpful to me... I'm going to pull any that have chips an auction them together as nice but damaged 1.99 sound good?

 

[duffytrash]

yup...take good pictures and describe the damages...hits ...fleabites ..scratches....missing glass...if they have fractures...put em in a jar....or slingshot em away....
