I saw that marble--it is an eye catcher, but I've never seen an Akro like that. Reminds me of a Richard Beull marble. (I just got a 1 3/16 Buell marble that is bad ass!) I've bought from skorokid (however you spell it) a couple of times . . . once a bad transaction and he sent me a ton of marbles to make up for it. I ended up with one out of his last lot--looks like a cool popeye. We'll see, I guess.

what the hell...did someone make this 'kid' a pile of cullet marbles?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270404823220

here's the feedback from the first auction. thankfully lizzy saved the pics or i would've thought it was the same marble:

Good eye Chris and good save Lizzy.

seems like lily's mom is plenty happy..go figure

just kinda ball-park eye-ballin the "images with the ruler" in the auctions, the one in the first auction looks to be at or near 3/4" and the one in the current auction looks to be about 9/16"

Quote:
may contain tiny pinpricks, as made folds and /or creases, tiny as made blowholes, or ground down bubble pops, or tiny amounts of dirt or debris ...
and or 220 grit, and or 1000 grit, and or Aluminium oxide

^ Fixed^

And why anyone keeps sticking up for this seller is way beyond me.. All the excuses for his BS auctions are also absolutely rediculous IMO. He absolutely knows what he is selling and still refuses to acknowledge many of the polished marbles and cullet he sells for being what they are. This has been going on for years.

If I hadn't looked at the 2 listings side by side, I would've thought that it was the same marble!

I'd say that it is 100% ground cullet.

I wish Lily's mom could have read those before she bid... or paid and left feedback.

So, has anyone who's a regular with eBay reported this bogus marble and this particular individuals modus operandi? Seems as though he's been at it long enough to elevate it to criminal status. David Chamberlain
