If you’ve already received a serious offer for your marbles, I’d like a chance to do better. I’m not here to appraise or auction—I’m here to buy. Directly. Personally.

Send me the same photos and a copy of the written offer you received. If I’m interested, I’ll match it—and add 10% to the total when the marbles arrive and check out. No delays. No fine print. Just a fair deal from someone who’s been collecting marbles since 1970.

Got an Offer for Your Marbles?
I’ll Match It—Then Beat It by 10%.

If you’ve received a written offer from a legitimate marble buyer, I’ll match it—and add 10% to the total if I accept your marbles after inspection. Fair. Simple. Guaranteed.

How It Works

1. Send Identical Photos and Your Competing Offer

Use the Marble Price Match form to upload clear photos of your marbles. If you’ve received a written offer from another buyer, include a copy of that too (photo, screenshot, or email). Group shots are fine—just make sure everything is visible.

2. I’ll Review and Price Match + 10% (if accepted)

I’ll look over your marbles and the competing offer. If I decide to move forward, I’ll match that offer—and increase it by 10%. I’ll let you know quickly and respectfully if it’s not a good fit. I receive many requests, but I do my best to reply within 24 hours.

3. You Ship. I Pay.

If you accept my offer, you can ship the marbles to me, and I’ll cover the shipping. Once they arrive and I confirm condition and authenticity, I send your payment: the matched offer plus 10%. If I don’t buy, I return your marbles at my expense (signature required).

Why Trust Me?

Over 50 years of experience. I started collecting marbles in 1970 and know what I’m looking for.

Personal transactions only. You’re dealing directly with me—not a corporation or auction house.

No games. I don’t pressure anyone to sell. If it’s not a match, that’s okay.

Fair market value. I buy marbles I truly want for my collection or for resale to other collectors.

What I Buy

  • Antique handmade marbles (German Wwirls, Onionskins, Joseph’s Coat, Clambroths, etc.)
  • Early machine-made marbles (Akro Agate, Christensen, Peltier, etc.)
  • Rare or collectible marbles in excellent condition
  • Contemporary handmade marbles by known artists
  • I generally do not buy common modern toy marbles or chipped pieces unless they are part of a larger valuable group.
