Hello yet again, List Members,
Several of you have been kind enough to let us know
the images for the new lunar meteorite auction were not displaying. I
think the image server must of had a sensor on it to determine when the most
inappropriate time to go offline would be and then performed this task
flawlessly to show us who was the boss. It failed 10 minutes before the
first auction ended. Five out of fourteen items sold so we are not
complaining too much, what good would it do? I think I will threaten the
server with the largest screwdriver in my inventory and show it who
its daddy is.
Now I know why we gave up computers to pursue
meteorites. Fortunately meteorites do not have sensors on them to detect
when the best time would be disintegrate to cause the maximum amount of
stress.
For those of you who bid, thank you and for those
of you who didn't thank you for being patient.
All the best,
Adam

at below wholesale prices (Ad)
Dear list members,
Thank you for your patience regarding this lunar
offering. We know the overall health of the economy maybe affecting
sales of this new material or the temporary lack of a name. So far it
looks like four of the fourteen lots will sale. We will diamond lap any
material that does not sell and offer again a much higher price due to
polishing losses and prep time. If you are at all interested and are
more concerned about price per gram than a gleaming finish you may consider
bidding on this material. We only know of one dealer who polishes lunar
material and they demand a premium for material offered this way.
A few dealers are accusing us of dumping this
material as we had predicted. We told them there is no shame to
themselves bidding this price and there should be plenty of room for profit in
the future. It seems some do not have enough patience to wait. We
do not see where a one time offering can permanently effect the price of a
certain commodity. These truly are wholesale priced and we hope that
some collectors that are not prepared to spend several thousand a gram will be
able to take advantage of this price. Do not worry, we will not loose
the respect of fellow collectors by selling this material to a jeweler who in
term will only offer lunar Rolexes to the wealthy. For some reason
this would go against the grain of what we believe in.
If you are at all interested you can check the
status of these auctions which end in about an hour by clicking the link
below.
Thank you for looking and if bidding, good
luck!
All the best,
Adam and Greg Hupe
