Anne, Ruben and List, Ironic that Anne Black mentions Jason Utas being ripped off. That SOB still owes me nearly $20,000 USD from over 3 years ago. Anyone dealing with Jason UTAS be aware that he is a thief! I have a written contract signed by him as proof. Karma, Jason UTAS! Jason UTASs days in the meteorite world and professional meteoritics are in doubt. Dirk Ross...Tokyo The Latest Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/

I no longer buy or sell on Ebay, too many scams (just ask Jason Utas!), too many fakes. If I see something there I would like, being presented by a seller I do know, I will contact the seller directly. So, I am sorry, but no I won't use an auction service whether it is meteorite-oriented or not. Good luck. (BTW: the convertion option on your site does not work. I asked it to convert GBP1480 into US$, the answer was: GBP1480 = US$1480. I don't think so.) Anne M.

This is a great idea and I applaud you for your hard work. However, 99.9 % of the people on this forum know each other and know meteorites - we don't buy or sell fake meteorites. In other words you're preaching to the choir. You need to tell this to the millions out there buying off ebay (who are the unknown buyers) and that will be hard to do. What I mean is this, ebay does have it's share of issues but as someone who has been selling on ebay since 1998 I can tell you it's worth it - It is at least for me. I preface every ad I place on ebay with a short bio about myself (a little annoying? maybe, but it works) and I sell a lot of meteorites. I would love to support your endeavor as I said it seems like a good idea, but ebay reaches so many more people than your site. Even if all 1000 members of this forum signed up for your selling site it would be mush easier to reach them by just placing an ad to this forum just like you did. Anyway, good luck I hope you can somehow reach the masses as that's what it would take for me to join.
