Thanks for reviewing the marble polishing machine:

The field for the name would not also hold "OutOfRound" so I shortened it to "Douglas" only, hope that is OK. I hadn't received feedback on it, so I appreciate it! It's selling quite well, I hope it helps educate people re: what is and isn't polished. Based on your review, I know that you are now much better educated on that - nothing like polishing first hand to help you recognize the hallmarks of a polish job! IMHO, it's more important than ever to know how to recognize it. I've bought quite a few marbles on eBay where the seller says "this surface is mint and original, the marble has no been polished." I don't want to name names, but the seller would be more honest if he said "I've no idea how to tell a polished marble from a Mint one!" Would have saved me time and grief. Do your homework people!!
