Schools, libraries, and even the local Snapology place are all fair game. Now, I am looking to donate them to any place that will take them within reasonable distance to me. Listen, I’m not driving for 30 minutes across horrendous Minneapolis construction traffic to get $5 or $10. They’re still here a week later and I’ve had 3 conversations with strangers who want to give me $5 for them and drop them off at their place. “That should get them gone quickly” I said to myself. So I started to explore what to do with them.įirst, I put them on OfferUp for $10. 814 marbles weigh A LOT and take up space in boxes. They were my collection! I have some pretty awesome king marbles and of course I can’t just get rid of them.Ĭue a montage scene of me hauling 814 marbles around 5 different locations in 3 different states. In the intervening 17 years, I’ve stopped buying more marbles, but I didn’t get rid of them. Thanks to my 10 year old self, I owned 814 marbles because I also decided to count them one day. Anyone who collects anything knows that more are better. I didn’t stop at any reasonable number. I blew my limited allowance on cheap marbles from Dollar General. Not rare vintage ones I found at garage sales and estate sales. I mean literally.Īs a young girl, I decided to start collecting marbles. Today, I am Toodles at the beginning of the movie. And I’m not sorry about spoiling part of the ending because it’s 20+ years old and you really should’ve seen the movie by now. When Peter asks him what he’s looking for, he says “I’ve lost my marbles” and then continues to search the house on his hands and knees.Īt the end of the movie, Peter finds Toodles’ marbles and Toodles can fly again as the source of his happiness is back. In the movie, a former Lost Boy named Toodles is crawling around on the floor. If you haven’t seen it, I’m not sure what you’ve been doing with your time that was more important.

You know that movie Hook? The one with Robin Williams? ( RIP)
