Mike,
Always trying to get the last word in. You start
many of your auctions out
at 1 cent. We start many out at a nearly a hundred
times greater amount, 99
cents. If you do not realize how important this
ratio is, you should take
some courses in business management. We are
collectors first and foremost,
and dealers secondary. We feel it is great share
some of our discoveries, a
lot of them at a loss. The amount we make on ebay
comes no where near the
amount needed to support our avocation. As matter
of fact you may be happy
to hear that there is a 99% chance we will be
shutting down meteoritelab and
our weekly rare material specials in a few months so
that we can focus
full-time on our collection.
All the best,

Mike,
You brought it up. We are only making a
legitimate claim. Ratios
should
be
very important to anybody who deals anything.

Here it is,
meteoritehunters 2.3
meteorite-hunter 2.3
meteoritelab 7.2
raremeteorites 1.6
naturesvault 1.6
The real question is who cares? Reading little
blurbs about how great
you
are is getting old to me and alot of other
people. We are all dealers.
You guys are getting more and more
IN-Your-Face with this retarded
best
sellers (I mean Collectors) in the business.
Adam, who really cares,
you
sell I sell we all sell.
The only thing you need advertise is your
material, nothing else.

Mike,
Let me check your ratios and get back to you
in a few minutes. Ebay
has
all
kinds of extended tools to check things out
and yes they do keep
track.

Adam, I know what you are talking about, but
that is BULLPUCKEY, are
you
telling me that you did that for every
seller of meteorites?
You would have to if you claim to be the
best.
Myself, I have a 7.1
Of course it is totally flawed since most
buyers who have already
left
feedbacks do not bother to continue to leave
them, as they really do
not
affect the feedback score.
Any other ways to try and make it seem like
you are the best seller
out
there?
I thought you were just collectors? You sure
don't try to market
that
way.

Mike,
A good measure of customer satisfaction is
how many times
customers
repeat
business. It is very simple to figure
out, divide total number of
positive
feedback by unique feedback and our ratio
is over 7 to 1, the best
by
far
in
the meteorite/tektite subsection. This
means that on the average

customer
