You can always depend on me to not hold back material for years and to not bleed material onto the market to keep prices high. Nope, I sell meteorites at the lowest price and if I can make 50% quick rather than wait 5 years to make 1000% profit well, boy golly, I do it and move on to getting a great deal on the next meteorite for my customers. I guess that you you are trying to say that you can now buy CR2 for $20 because of me rather than having to pay $200 like you would have had to pay in denver to get any. OK. You can convict me. I wont complain. If anybody wants CR2 for $20 a gram email me. I will accept my punishment. I will sell you some for $20. But hey, if my sales tactics piss you off, I would be happy to make amends. If you want I will grudgingly but ultimately accept $200 a gram for my CR2. And to really be nice I will even accept any price between $20 and $200 a gram that you feel that my CR2 is worth. But I will only accept $200 a gram if you buy me beer to go along with it. Sincerely DEAN >

Examples of this phenomena include Kora Korrabes, Portales Valley, and even Zag. There were vastly different regions within the meteorite making numbers like TKW and price per gram less important. One piece might be a dud, while another is stunning. > > My suggestion is to buy out of the pure excitement of collecting. You win some, you loose some. But in the end, it should all be fun.

Who is to say what he will do with this one after the next 100 kg come out.
I also checked the weather in Morocco. It has not rained in Erfound for a long time.
