Hello everyone! Since were talking about e-Bay,
Please come take a look, I have auctions started @ .99 with free shipping! There are plenty of cool meteorites including my New NWA 6077 with provisional classification as a Ultra Rare Brachinite, also New, provisionally classified NWA 6080 a gorgeous LL4 with awesome inclusions. These meteorites come labeled and in most cases, have accessories like a black box or clear case. They all come with ID cards, and a certificate of authenticity, I even throw in a cool book mark for free! And @ .99 with free shipping, and all those extras...come down and shop around! http://stores.ebay.com/Outer-Space-Rocks Thank You, Have a Great Day!

It should have read : you can NOT even identify the other shoppers standing next to you.....
