Yes, most Moroccan dealers fail to realize the world economy is in the worst downturn since the great depression and barely showing signs of recovery. For example, they are stilling asking $10.00/gram for Eucrites when only $5.00/gram can be realized on eBay, even after suffering a cutting loss. In the end, they will find out how tough a market it really is. No amount of hype or press will bring the prices up on the open market. It is a supply and demand issue. Maybe once the stockpiles which are dwindling are exhausted the prices will go back up. Until then, I will be purchasing older U.S. finds which are priced most reasonably at a few dollars per gram.
