Simple: DEMAND. US and European falls are always sought after more than ANY other falls. From my sales of meteorites over the last 13+ years, the US and European FALLS fly off the shelves whereas Moroccan meteorites, take some time (sometimes YEARS to sell). Furthermore, the majority of collectors in the world are from the US and Europe, which drives up the demand.

The most thing I noticed is that UShunters have one word, otherwise some NWA dealers who do not have access to such a fall try to breake it by saying there is 500kg or a Ton, btw, does anyone know what's the TKW of Tamdakht? My experience tells me even a common chondrite falls in Europe or US would cost 30 times the same material falls in NWA, i klnow that USand europe have stong economy, but it's about meteorite fall, no matter where it falls. Please let me knwo what is the difference between NWA falls and American/european falls!!! what about a US lunar find, i think it would cost $30k a gram. I really hope to ge some reasonable questions!! My best and happy hunting to our friend in the Wisconsin field.
