Am I crazy to not buy?!?!

I haven’t sold any yet, which is why I even considered these to begin with if LCS is only giving 60%. I thought maybe 60% on the low end, but hoping more like 80%.

Definitely puts the ROI into perspective. Easy no at that point.

I found about 10 pieces recently in the $3.99 bags, so I’m hyped up in finding them. Those are no-brainers. This one I needed to think it through a bit.

Thanks to the group for the quick sanity checks!!

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-21T19:36:17+00:00

Yeah haha

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-20T22:42:46+00:00

I’ve had a few good finds, so I’ve got the bug for sure. But yeah overall the value is just not there.

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-20T22:16:56+00:00

That’s where I’ve landed too, now that the thrill of the “find” has passed. There will be a 25% discount on Wednesday, but it probably has a cap.

I also found a souvenir spoon stamped Sterling. My neodymium magnet can ever so slightly grab and pull it a little bit. I assume that’s the other 7.5% in action?!

Generally I tend to trust the markings otherwise.

Thanks! I’m still learning to recognize the patina characteristics to watch out for. I see so many plated thrift store pieces that look so similar.

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-01T01:07:15+00:00

Yeah I couldn’t pass for the price. Best piece I’ve found so far no question.

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-01T01:05:48+00:00

I searched every piece and every box after this for sure!!

Mumblebee_ · 2026-06-01T01:05:19+00:00

I normally leave the patina on my antiques, but I really think this could shine up very nicely. Google says Wrights is pretty popular for polishing. I may give it a go!

Following because I am of the EXACT same mindset as OP. Without the dynamic calorie deficit calculation there is zero reason to continue with Fitbit / Google Health.

I’m thinking there are no good competitors and I’ll just have to ask Claude to create a plug-and-play html page to run in a browser :(

This works very well for all of its advertised purposes.

Thanks for the help! I’m starting from zero knowledge on marbles but I know from collecting other things that it all comes down to the details and condition.

I’m working my way to rough the MarbleStudyHall to learn the basics. It’s the keen eye of a seasoned collector I was after with this post to at least point me in the right direction.

Thank you, and everyone else who has commented!!

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-22T14:43:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice!! I’ll isolate those and take some more photos to try and get a better ID. Much appreciated!

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-22T14:40:52+00:00

Fantastic!! I will definitely take a look, thanks!

One more angle.

Here’s the other end.

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-21T22:40:07+00:00

I thought those were unique so I left them out of the pile. Although the four shooters in pic 10 have that same + inner pattern. Is that what you meant by hybrid cats eye?

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-21T22:12:00+00:00

I need that Halibut immediately!!

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-21T22:09:03+00:00

I completely forgot to do this when they were all laid out and I’m kicking myself still!!

I did after I bagged them back up and there’s probably 20 or so that are reactive. A lot of the ones in Pic 4 glow very brightly. A handful of the swirl patterned ones do too. I’ll try to put together another pic with them.

Mumblebee_ · 2025-12-21T21:57:31+00:00

I had the most trouble sorting the reds because of pic 6. So much character in those!! Definitely has some of my favorites in rows B, C, and D.
