Very strange. ...

You an also find similar marbles in some of the craft stores and, apparently, some Dollar stores. Here's a link whee you can buy Megas/Vacors - http://www.emarbles.com/mega6.htm Back to top I Love Marbles Joined: 11 Aug 2007 Posts: 83 Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 2:45 pm    Post subject: When 2497teresa first started selling marbles on ebay, informed her all the marbles she had listed as pre-1970 were not. She thanked me, but just kept doing the same. She's a big time marble pusher, works with other pushers to run each others marbles up!

Too bad she decided to keep selling as if she doesn't know. _________________ Maggie Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone Forum Index -> Pros & Cons All times are GMT - 4 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Marvelous Mibs----------------Marbles & Glass ChatMarble Myths & MisconceptionsPros & ConsArchivesThe LoungeThe Test Forum Welcome!----------------Community Guidelines & AnnouncementsContact the Moderators or Administrator The Collectors Corner----------------Collectors Anonymous  You can post new topics in this forum You can reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
