Translation - "Thank you for peeing into the wind. I don't care what you say or how much you know about meteorites. We don't care to do any tests, because they will confirm that our specimens are bogus. Many thanks." Any person with an ounce of experience and has done their homework can take one look at these specimens and discern that they are not meteorites. A blind man could make that determination from looking at the photos. Sadly, sellers like this prey on newbies, trusting folk, and people shopping for big bargains. And they will continue to do so until the proverbial cows come home. eBay will not put a stop to these auctions and the rest of us are powerless to stop them also.
