that guy is way overpriced on everything. Plus you've got to pay to ship it over here. Might as well buy from Mike.

Exactly, if I ever was going to buy an expensive ray I would without a doubt buy from Mike.
 
yeah i think blacks are nice but then in times i think they get a lil played out but as for marbles man...the design are truely amazing if you have a high grade marble. I would say pricing is on demand.
 
This is laughable.... now you guys are allowing yourself to accept the fact that a super nice marble motoro is worth as much or more than a banned and hard to get black ray?

this is all a joke... american hobbiest sit back and bandwagon the japanese because they come up with some term we jump all over it... guess what... nice marble motoros were in vogue b4 asia went ray crazy.....

a marble motoro cost 35-75 at the river...... once in the usa it should cost anywhere from 175-300 depending if you have a really nice one I can see it selling for 500 because u just gotta have it but anymore than that you are tossing ur money out the window... if asia wants to pay 1500 for a nice marble than let them waste their money....

black rays black rays black rays funny huh because a nice pearl is one the most beautiful rays around... so is a itaituba now all of a sudden a leo is nicer and better than a pearl or p14?? because they are high priced.....

You guys sound like a dealer I see on another board

Jap AAA quality this and that lol
 
I have never been a black ray fan. I do love pearls though. My wife is the one that freaks over black rays, but if you ask her if she wants to sell our marble babies for a black ray she quickly responds with a NO! Black diamonds aside, Leos all look the same to me. Yeah some have large spots and some have eclipse spots but no matter how you spin it, they are still black with white spots. MM's on the other hand can be dark or light, they can have reddish to tan spots, they can be dirty looking and they can be bold. So much variation to choose from at 1/4 the price. These two marble pics are what I call some nice rays. Sorry I stole you pic JD7:D Oh yeah, forgot to add Mobatic's avatar as well.

Another thing to add is that ray prices do fluctuate....

There was a time when black rays were not so expensive, things change! Perhaps there will be an eventual swing for nice marbles?

Because of demand. The more people desire them, the more the prices go up.
The bigger the craze the bigger the price.

Agreed, we need to stop posting about marbles and let the fad die down before it gets out of hand:eek:

MOBATIC I WOULD TAKE THAT MM IN YOUR AVATAR OVER A BD RAY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. DUCKMAN SHOW YOUR FEMALE. ONE OF THE NICEST IN THE COUNTRY. STOP HOLDING OUT. THE PRICE OF A MM CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 100-1500. I KNOW OF TWO MM RIGHT NOW ID GIVE 1500 FOR NO PROBLEM. AND THEY OVER 12 INCHES. WE GOTTA START BREEDING OUR OWN IN THE STATES. THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT MM AND BLACKS IS THE MM COME IN TONS OF DIFFERENT PATTERNS AND COLORS. A BLACK RAY IS WHAT IT IS EXCEPT FIR SOME SPOTS BEING DIFFERENT. THE COLOR ALWAYS THE SAME. I LOVE THEM BOTH, BUT U CANT COMPARE THE TWO. APPLES AND ORANGES. OWNING A BLACK RAY IS MORE OF A STATUS SYMBOL. FINDING A QUALITY MM IS A MISSION.
 
NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ASIAN MARBLES. AFICIANADO. WE SAID WE WANT SOME NICE MM. THERE IS ALOT OF THEM IN THE STATES. THEY AE COMING IM PRETTY NICE FROM THE WILD RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THEY ALL WE START BREEDING THE BEST IN THE WORLD. THATS MY GOAL. THE ONLY REASON WHY THEY GOT A JUMP ON US IS BECAUSE THEY AINT AFRAID OF SPENDING SOME CHEDDER. U GET WHAT U PAY FOR. AMERICANS WONT PAY WHAT THEY DO IN ASIA, EVEN OUT THE RIVER. THATS WHY WE ALWAYS GET THE LEFT OVERS.
