It's all in how you market it.
With the big gemstones, they've been bought, sold, and used as a
commodity for literally hundreds and probably thousands of years.
Diamonds didn't get their current popularity/price until DeBeers
started their major marketing campaigns.

Hello All,
When you start pulling a ton of Brenham out of the ground don't expect to find,
or quickly make, a market for it. Once the relatively small group of meteorite
collectors (I'll bet there isn't five hundred that would but a pallasite in the
world) get their specimens you will still hav

Hi GeoZay. No. You can list up to 10 days. I know you can list up to 30 days
but I believe that would be for "Buy it Now" items and other certain
conditions that allow a 30 day. Hope this helps.
