Hello Everyone,
First, to address Christian's
concerns.
BEGIN LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
These are just my opinions and mine alone. I
do not have any malicious or libelous intentions toward anyone and I am
perfectly happy with the knowledge that others do not agree with me. Live
and let live, I'm okay, you're okay, one size fits all, objects in mirror
are closer than they appear, do not bend, fold or mutilate, don't eat yellow
snow, dry clean only yada, yada, etc..., etc...
END LEGAL DISCLAIMER
I won't join the yahoo group to post ebay
announcements because of two reasons. It is my understanding, and I could
be wrong about this, that one has to be an IMCA member in order to post (or
at least IMCA membership is preferred), and, for reasons which I will not
elaborate, I have no intention of joining the IMCA.
Second, the idea of a whole list devoted to
ebay auctions sounds awfully silly to me. I know how to get to ebay and
how to check for meteorite auctions and I know how to bid and sell on
ebay. Everyone else who is reading these words knows how to do
these tasks as well and I really don't see the need for a separate list
devoted to things which I and others already know how to
do.
And, well, I guess there is a third reason.
Given that some list members seem to enjoy participating in mud-slinging,
libelous posts, threats and accusations, childish behavior and general
intolerance of personality/cultural differences among others, I have no
problem with comparatively innocuous and at least in some way meteorite-related
ebay ads.
Besides, apparently Art doesn't mind
either.
Now...
I recently got in a bunch of those 1 x 1 inch boxes
that some of us use to house micromounts, the ones with the foam pads. I
normally sell them for .50 each but for list members they are .35 each, any
quantity, plus a small shipping charge.
Also, beginning tomorrow evening EST and lasting
for several days, I will be selling some meteorites and supplies on ebay.
I really don't know what some of what I have is worth, so I will start all
auctions at .01 and let the free market decide. These include a huge 619
gram individual of NWA 869, a 383 gram Odessa, a slice of Valera (the cow killer
from Argentina), a crusted Pultusk endpiece, display/storage cases, a lot
consisting of 5 meteorite books and 5 meteorites, and a huge collection of maybe
40 or so specimens, complete with storage box and cases. Maybe even
some cutting and polishing equipment (have not decided on that yet). Some
auctions are underway already and some won't start until later but they are all
only 3 day auctions.
This will be the only email concerning this sale
:-)
Thanks and bis spater,
-Walter
