Selling Marbles - getting started
If you are interested in selling an individual marble, a few marbles or an entire collection of marbles directly to BuyMarbles.com, we are always interested in discussing this option with you. I pay top $$$ for quality vintage marbles.
We also buy marble related items such as original boxes, tins, bags, postcards, photos, artwork, games and just about anything else that is related to marbles. Marbles we are interested in are almost always pre-1950's.
If you are interested in selling marbles or related items, send us an email us and we will contact you within 48 hours to discuss it further. If you already have digital Images of the items, go to the Email Us button below to email them to us.

what to send
If you have just one or a few marbles, you can send individual shots of each marble if you like. A group shot is fine also. Group shots are preferred. I will let you know if I need to see additional pictures of a certain marble or marbles.
If you have a large amount of marbles save yourself time by sorting your marbles into groups of 30 or 40 marbles. (larger groups are fine if you have 100's) Please send full size images, not cropped or down sized.
PLEASE READ THIS: Quickly eliminate marbles of little value by taking out all solid color game marbles, transparent clear glass marbles of any color and all of the cat-eye style marbles. (these have no value to collectors) See pictures below for examples.

what happens next?
If I see marbles that are of value, I will send your image back to you with arrows pointing out marbles that are worth taking a closer look at. Sometimes I might give you a phone call as well. About 90% of the images I receive for appraisals are marbles of little or no value. BUT you might have a gem that could be real value. I have paid thousands of dollars over the years for good marbles and related items like original box sets of marbles.
Please be patient. This is a free service and I attempt to get back with you within 48 hours. In the last few months, appraisal requests have been at an all time high and I receive a few hundred emails a month. I will get back with you as soon as possible.
