Canadian meteorites need export permits, period.
Including temporary export for research.
Here is the Canadian Heritage site for all the info regarding this.

Not to give anyone a bad name or scare those who
are already bidding on some of them, but it seems kinda strange how
there is no mention of export permits.. I PMed them and according to them
she's selling them "for research" and as such they can get away with
selling BCs without a permit. It seems they are legit.

Well Jason, I certainly could be wrong.
I just hate to see anybody here get burned.
My eyes can't tell for sure that those are fresh, fusion-crusted stones,
as opposed to little black earth rocks, due to the photo quality.
They do look somewhat probable though, I'll admit.
The larger problem to me, is the export permit.
Was there any mention of that when you spoke?

Melanie, Linton,
The photos depict what are clearly fresh stony meteorites, regardless
of their quality (viz., the photos').
This seller is a local and has been selling Buzzard Coulee stones
since shortly after the fall.
I've spoken with them on a few occasions, and, while I haven't
actually purchased any stones, they do seem to be on the level.
Regards,
Jason

Melanie,
No, I do not know the seller.
The poor quality photos are just a nuisance.
The text indicates to me that the seller does not know meteorites.
Sounds like he took a few notes from someone elses legitimate ad.
No mention of export permits is a giant red flag, though.
You could always ask him/her about that. I almost did.
The price/gram is sure a lot lower though, eh?
Almost too good to be true, isn't it...
And you know what they say about that!
Linton

Worldwide shipping and no mention of an export permit for any of them?
Anyone here know this person and if he/she is for real?
