| Did You Lose Your Marbles?
A few days back I bought just over 200 old marbles at a local thrift store for $2.. now all the marbles were machine made but alot were quite nice and all were over 50 years old. I pulled out 30 of the "best" ones and sold the rest to a neighbor for $15 tho after looking on eBay, I may buy them back!
Other than the Latticinio in this auction, mine are just as nice: http://cgi.ebay.com/26-Swirl-glass-...1QQcmdZViewItem
26 marbles went for $312!

| Some are worth much more.. I've sold individual marbles for over $100 each as much as 10 years ago.
By the way, the marbles in the auction aren't mine.. mine are similar. | |

| I'm suprised Marbles have value. I though they were basically worthless. I do have some marbles from when I was a kid. Don't know where it is now but hopefully it has a bit of value | |

| How can you tell if a marble is hand-made or worth anything? | |
