[meteorite-list] Auctions Ending - Will Trade Land For Meteorite Collections
Dear List Members, I have some meteorite auctions ending Tuesday and Wednesday night. Link to all auctions: http://www.ebay.com/sch/merchant/ancientechoesartifacts METEORITE COLLECTION TRADES FOR LAND WELCOME: I have some properties/land that may be of interest to some of you since they are near where meteorites have been found. List members have already acquired land from me including a parcel in Franconia, AZ in the strewn field and a few ranches in Northern NV including a creek-front Battle Mountain property for way below comparable listings. They are extremely pleased with the favorable pricing, the quality of these properties and how smooth the paperwork went since I handled everything. I was able to close within a few weeks on all of these land transactions, partially because I owned the land outright and do not need to deal with agents or brokers. I am accepting trade or partial trade offers. I am interested in meteorite collections including NWA planetary material that predates 2012 or NWA 7000. The meteorite bubble burst sometime around 2008 so I see some sectors as a good investment ready for liquidation. I am willing to give full retail credit in trade based on what meteorites have been selling for on eBay since many consider eBay some kind of benchmark for meteorites which seem to be treated like commodities these days. I do not think the prices will go any lower with the exception of witnessed falls so I feel safe trading for material. Here is a partial list of properties that are now available. I have plenty more which will be listed in the up and coming weeks priced from as low as $10,000.00 for a CA property all the way up to $1,400,000.00 for a patented NV property which is discounted by 50% of what a neighboring unimproved lot recently sold for. You will not find a better price on exceedingly rare waterfront land in NV than this 40 ACRE LOT PERSHING CO.
