MARBLES
Who needs marbles
I have a somewhat funny story about marbles
heres the thing you guts will think I've lost my marbles when I tell you
Okay yesterday I was looking at auctions on the internet when I come across this on line auction
they were selling gift items but you had to bid on large lots of things
cases of picture frames, little windchines and things like that..
heres the good part or maybe crazy part
they had pallet loads of marbles and glass blobs like marbles you have all seen those in crafts on flower arrangements or what ever
The thing is you had to bid on them all
There were 5 skids or 150 boxes that have about 25 pounds of marbles in each
the way it works is instead of making it 1 bid they break it up and say you arte bidding on 150 cases of marbles and whatever you bid you have to multiply it by 150
So I thought I would bid on them and re-package them and sell them because what would anyone do with about 4000 pounds of marbles
well it would take you a long time before you could lose that many of them
A guy at work suggested using them as mulch instead of white gravel or something along those lines well my mind began to work overtime and I started figuring how I could use this cheap mulch
I said Terry you could make a flower bed line it with rubber and put pots of flowers down in it and never have to worry about weeds
then I told myself I could make a bed again lining it with rubber and filling it with one color of marbles and bury a pump in it and install a fountain that would shoot up in the air and the water would flow back down into the marbles to be pumped back up again
neat idea huh
another one was to put the rubber edgeing it the ground and make the outer edge in the shape of a bird or even peacock and put edgeing in the inside to separate the marbles and make different sections for the feathers and body features
well I've decided that if I win the marbles I will now keep all 4000 pounds and have a really colorful yard.
The last bid last night when I looked was a total of 39.00 dollars and I figure only local or loco people will bid on them because who would want to ship 4000 pounds
Wish me luck I,m going to bid although the bidding doesn't end until Sunday at 7 :00
