I have bid on a number of items at the last Bonham auction, and everything went extremely well. I won 2 items with the opening bid, way below the maximum that I had bid online, and I won one other item while on the phone with them, bidding live. Shipping was handled via a shipping agent that Bonham had recommended. Within a day of the auction they picked my items up at the Bonham office, packed it up and shipped it with FedEx overnight. It cost a few hundred bucks, but for all that it seemed reasonable. That was my experience anyways. I am looking forward to the coming auction - looks like they have some good stuff lined up again. All the best...,... ------------------------------ Patrick www.pallasite.ca ---------- Original Message ----------- From: mckinney trammell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Timothy Heitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Meteorite Mailing List <meteorite- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 07:11:53 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Auction at Bonhams on April 30 in New York. > avoid like plague! i did on of those absentee bids > and they shilled me right up to the penny. further > more, the shipping was EXTREME price AND... when i got > the items (shark teeth) they were SHORT!!! theyb LIED > about the length!!! i f you can't be there, you are > setting yourself up for dissaster > !!! > --- Timothy Heitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hello List, > > > > Does anyone know if any other meteorites are being > > offered? > > > > > > Tim Heitz > > Midwest Meteorite - http://www.meteorman.org/ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go to Google News > > Rare meteorite goes under hammer > > 10 hours ago > > > > A meteorite is expected to fetch £500,000 at > > auction in New York this > > month. > > > > Weighing more than 925lbs, the object was > > discovered eight years ago in > > China's Xinjiang Uygar province. > > > > Its rare olivine crystals endured atmospheric and > > impact forces as it > > crashed down to Earth. > > > > Bonhams' Natural History Department director Thomas > > Lindgren said: "Less > > than 1% of all meteorites are pallasites, the most > > alluring of all > > meteorites due to their aesthetic appeal." > > > > Pallasites - meteorites composed of around 50% > > olivine and peridot crystals > > and 50% nickel-iron - are thought to be relics of > > forming planets. > > > > The Fukang meteorite will go under the hammer at > > Bonhams on April 30 in New > > York. > > > > ______________________________________________ > > http://www.meteoritecentral.com > > Meteorite-list mailing list > > Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > > > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________ _ _______ > You rock.
