Anne,
I've been on this search. We got a marble run for Christmas and it only had plastic marbles, so we wanted replacements.
I found a big bag of marbles from an antique mall in PA. I'd recommend trying that kind of venue.
Also, different historical museum shops have them. It's a nice bag of various size marbles, including a few shooters. They also sell a bag of clay marbles.
Call the Manassas Musuem and see if they have them. If not, the little Weems Botts Museum in Dumfries has them. (I was there a few weeks ago).

I actually found some not too long ago at our local Walmart. They were just marbles sorted by color, not complete sets. I did find a complete set last summer at the Cracker Barrel; it was in a nice tin and came with directions. Amazon also has some large sets of Mega Marbles in assorted colors and sizes that looked like they were a good price if you can wait for delivery. Here's one link , but I also saw large wooden boxes each of which contained maybe 25-50 marbles in assorted colors. Each box had different sized marbles.

We got ours at Walmart. They came with a little booklet of games you could play. I think there were 100 in the bag and they were different sizes.

I was wondering what the answer would be because I think mine have been gone for a long time now! 
Wal-Mart or Dollar Stores would be my first guess.

I believe I can get them at the little variety store here (there is no walmart ) or at Rite Aid.

Thank you so much for your suggestions!! I wish I knew about this a few days in advance, so I could have picked them up for him, but I chatted with dh this afternoon and he found some at a toy store on his lunch break. Thank you!!
