Are you just now figuring out that there are several factors that affect the value of anything that is collectable? Lots of factors have negatively affected the prices of meteorites over the past few years. In contrast, some people will say that the net effect was a GOOD one because it made rarer material available to the common man who collects meteorites.
What I really hear in your posts sounds like sour grapes. High prices must be okay to you if you are currently in a selling mode, yet you complain about the prices being too high when you decide to buy. This is a pretty common practice used and desired by businessmen (and women) - buy low, sell high. The skillful dealers in this business know when it's the right time to buy AND sell.
That's the way the market goes. Learn to live with it.

I have write the portales when is exit in the market the price it was to $35-40 grams, and for me is ok for a special meteorite type Portales Valley - find another similar meteorite - but after few years the price is go to $12/gr. when the main mass is go cut. The same is for Park Forest, now people sale for prices over $40/gr., but at few years the price for sure go to under 10/gr., and Park Forest, for the moment, is a ordinary chondrite. What change from Portales and Park? All 2 have hit houses, all 2 is a witness fall, but the first is a very fantastic ordinary chondrite, the second is a normaly chondrite. You now put a portales valley for sale for $35/gr. no persons buy this, the same is for Park Forest, now all want a piece and pay high ammount of money, but at few years the price change, specially if someone ruin the prices of market like already was done with the lunars, martian and varied historical meteorites, make losing money to who had invested grosses adds.
