Thanks Alex - glad you cleared that up - of course - this is what I was sort of meaning - a place for good prices, honest materials and accredited dealers in a safe forum. Of course, a bargain is exactly that - a bargain (or, as you said it wouldn t be a bargain, but the actual price!) I guess I was just thinking aloud about an alternative sales place to Fleabay - not to take away from dealers' sites and thier customer base, of course, just an alternative to eBay!
Best from cold, dank Brighton! dave -------Original Message------- From: Alexander Seidel Date: 12/01/06 21:13:34 To: Dave Harris; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] wot we need.... Dear Dave, no bad intention, of course! What I just meant to say was: the price has to be fair, a bargain may a bargain, but a bargain is not the LAW, it is the EXCEPTION (...as else it would not be a "bargain" by definition..:-)). We small little creatures on this very Earth all wish to survive some way or the other, and everyone should have his/her little fortune, but when it comes down to e.g. such a tiny little issue as aquiring a meteorite from dealer xyz, the whole system of fairness of trade for ALL the participants in a contract should still be active and workable for the future. And btw: you will always find strange people in every market place, may they be Big Brains from windy cities or odd Mars sellers from elsewhere. This is what you can´t avoid even with a good intention of creating any new list...
