Am looking for the large size little pain plastic marble stands - used to get them from glasswurx, they don't have the large ones right now.

Also- just wanted to share - I also get lucite block stands in black and frosted white - I get them from displaycaseart.com - turn out to be about $4 ea. they are 2" square - I sell them for $10 and a lot of people go for them.

Try some rubber o-rings, nylon rings or napkin rings.
Try a craft store and walk the isles. I've found all kinds of 'marble stands' that were labled as someting else.

And for some reason he doesn't have any up right now, maybe email him and see if he has any.

slice up some tubing? even without a saw, there are ways to score cleanly. i don't make marbles, round ones at least, but thats what i'd do

Not sure if anyone is intersted, but I work with someone who makes molds/sclulptures for things and he can make molds of plastic which aren't just rectangular blocks. He does some crazy stuff if the price is right(cough).....

I buy hand turned wooden stands from a dude in my town for $4.00 each.

Thanks for the links Greymatter + SNYD, I will check those out. I don't like glass on glass for marbles as they can scratch the surface.

I use large hex nuts for marble stands.

I used to get mine from him. Now he says to e-mail him outside of Ebay and that he won't take PayPal any more. Sounds fishy to me.

I ended up ordering some of these:

Came in like 2 days after I ordered them.
