You must be joking! Bessy is digging in the dumpster of Saharan meteorites and selling them at dumpster prices. Too bad he he wants a stupid price for this new fall but sells the rare stuff like it was scaring him to death! By the way Dean, the Moroccans want some money, it seams you owe them a substantial amount and they are getting very angry. I got a call from Habbibi last night who says you are not welcome there anymore.

I am relatively new to meteorites, but If I had experienced these drops in value over the past year: > CR2: $200-300/GR. now $20-18/gr. > R4 - 3.9: $500/gr. now $40/gr. > SNC $2000-1000/gr. now $500-200/gr. > Lunar $35.000/gr. now $5000 - 1000/gr. and then chased this new find at $15/gm just to see it a week later at $2/gm, this would not be my idea of fun.  These look like NASDAQ price ranges.  And they may be more like the NASDAQ then we would hope, spectacular prices, never to be seen again. >From my limited vantage point, I see buckets of Saharans and Sikhotes and loaves of Brahin slices on ebay.  Someone commented that Bessey is relatively new to meteorites but it looks to me like he's got the best grasp on the impact of ebay and the internet. glenmore ---------- From: Martin Horejsi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] a little collector advice........ Date: Tue, Mar 12, 2002, 11:42 AM 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. Right? Cheers, Martin
