Not this time. Not sure if I was laughing about how bad the condition was or how bad the sellers eyes must be. http://cgi.ebay.com/MARBLES-AKRO-AGATE-GIANT-1-inch-BLUE-MOSS-AGATE-NM_W0QQitemZ370060811298QQihZ024QQcategoryZ2573QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Disclaimer: Don't know the seller from booo. Judging from past sales doubt I ever will either. This is MY OPINION and nobody need to listen. Just thought it was a pretty bad auction that was good for a laugh. P.S Is it a Marble King?

He has been around and is no newbie. Kris Back to top orbboy Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 164 Location: Ontario, Canada Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 5:24 pm    Post subject: Wow that's sad. Just makes this auction all the worse.

Let's use his name in the post so anyone looking for a recommendation will find this one: iloveglassballs Back to top Ponkochan Site Admin Joined: 03 Aug 2007 Posts: 1834 Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 8:13 pm    Post subject: Not an Akro Moss Agate........that's for sure. Probably Marble King. What's funny is that he says, Quote: THIS IS A AKRO AGATE VERY HARD TO FIND GIANT " MOSS AGATE " WITH A TRANSLUCENT WHITE BASE AND ROYAL BLUE MARKINGS.... THIS IS ONE COLORFUL MARBLE AND A VERY RARE AKRO TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.. and also mentions that it's a very hard to find one..........but yet, has a "Buy It Now" for $8.99. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm..........? _________________ Lizzy Back to top roany poany Joined: 07 Aug 2007 Posts: 473 Location: area 51 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 1:54 pm    Post subject: could be the Akro Moss Agate term is a mistake ... mayhaps he used a previous ad template. just sayin' _________________ Dubby™ I love this place....pure entertainment Back to top lstmmrbls Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 312 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 6:33 pm    Post subject: He posted at LOM defending one of his off the wall listings. I wonder if he has an excuse for this one. Now I see Buddy posted his excuse(LOL) Peace,Galen _________________ CACs please.

Back to top Ponkochan Site Admin Joined: 03 Aug 2007 Posts: 1834 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:36 pm    Post subject: I didn't realize that it was cracked until you mentioned it, William. But it is! In the listing it says: Quote: IT HAS NO FRACTURES OR CHIPS IT HAS A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL FLEABITES I SEE A COUPLE OF SMALL PINPRICKS.... Instead of using the wrong template this time..........maybe he's posted the wrong pictures with this listing? The description does not match the pictures at all. _________________ Lizzy Back to top orbboy Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 164 Location: Ontario, Canada Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:49 pm    Post subject: Oh Boy! Has anyone taken 5 min to check out his completed listings? Poor newbies getting hosed all over the place. Granted a few nice marbles here and there, but seriously what's up with the rest? I'm torn between "lazy" and "just dont give a damn". My faves were the Single Indian and the Clambroth.

I got a pretty nice glowie cork off this guy and something else--I can't remember what. But nothing he's had has made me say oooo.
