Subject: [meteorite-list] CR2s a
temporary bargain
Dear List
I am one of about 4
dealers who bought up CR2s in Morroco.We all shared our good fortune with
friends, collectors and Ebay buyers.This however was a very temporary
opportunity which will never be seen again. Dean Bessy allowed collectors for
a once in a lifetime chance at letting them have CR2s at $23 a gram. People
who would never have dreamed one year ago at such an opportunity, now proudly
display their CR2s and are expanding their collections.He will sell out at
Tucson leaving only three of us with the lion's share of this find. The strewn
field is small and totally worked over.Those of us left will never after
Tucson let this rare material sell for under $100 a gram.I probably control
half of the fall and will personally keep or donate it to the Royal Ontario
Museum in Toronto , Canada. [ about4,000+ grams]. Thus supply and demand kick
in and those that have it are in no hurry to sell it at low prices after Feb.
2002. For those that bought CR2s from Dean, Congratulations on the great deal.
For those who didn't it's highly unlikely you will ever be offered this gift
again, which was more of a temporary parntnership to help offset Deans
investment.Dean has done well by buying from the source and adding a bit
of a mark up. He is providing material today that we could only
have dreamed of a year ago at affordable prices. He has helped to expand
the base of our collecting community and is an asset to us.Those who bought in
the past at high prices should not worry. The material is limited and will
continue to sell to high prices in the future. Best regards
David Gregory
