Hi Jim, It's been tried before, most recently Eric W. tried it. (if memory serves me correctly)
The problem is, many meteorite dealers are very competitive with each other, and I think if a dealer owns/runs the auction site, some other dealers will avoid it - no matter who that dealer/owner is. But I agree that a meteorite auction site (with traffic) would be great. :) Best regards, MikeG On 3/17/10, meteorite...@comcast.net <meteorite...@comcast.net> wrote: > > It seems that the solution to these high ebay fees is a no brainer.
