About Just Marbles
Little glass planets, properly graded. Here is exactly who we are, how the business works, and what you can expect from us.
Business identity
Just Marbles is the collectibles storefront of Hardy Apex, based in Quebec, Canada. The site at justmarbles.online is owned and operated by us; there is no third-party dropshipper between you and the marble. Customer service runs through info@hardyapex.com and is answered by a person, normally within one business day.
How the business works
We buy marbles individually and in collections, photograph each one, grade it, and list it as a single item. Nothing is mass produced or restocked: when a marble sells, that listing is finished. We hold the stock we sell and ship it ourselves from Canada.
- Source — private collections, estate lots and collector trades.
- Grade — construction-first identification and a ten-point condition grade.
- Photograph — the exact marble you receive, marks and all.
- List — one item, one price in CAD, on this site and our marketplace shops.
- Ship — padded, tracked, insured, worldwide from Canada.
How we describe marbles
Attribution is given as pattern-based opinion and always labelled attributed, undocumented. We never invent makers, years or provenance. Manufacturing marks — shear and cut-off marks, pontils, seam tails, as-made pits — are described as marks of manufacture, and real damage is described as damage. What you read is what arrives.
Where you can find us
Beyond this site we list on Shopify-powered checkout and on Etsy as JustMarblesVault, so you can buy through whichever platform you already trust. Prices and condition notes are kept identical across channels.
Buying safely
The whole site runs over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, and checkout is processed by Shopify — card details are never handled or stored by Just Marbles. Every order is covered by our grading guarantee: if a marble does not match its written grade, return it for a full refund.
