Subject:[meteorite-list] AD: 37.1 g Mifflin Slice
Hi all,I'm offering my 37.1 g Mifflin end cut once again. A previously 
interested party reneged on the purchase so it's available. This thick slice is 
from the 332 g Kerchner main mass. It's fully crusted on one side and has been 
expertly prepared. The last picture in the series is the main mass. See it 
here:http://s1231.photobucket.com/user/Billkies/slideshow/Mifflin Slice From

offer.Regards,Billparkforestmet at

[meteorite-list] AD: Tucson Show 2003 video

2003-03-03 Thread BobHolmes
Hello All,

As many of you may or may not know, John Gwilliam and I have been
working on a video about some of the meteorite  people and events at the
recent show in Tucson.

John has completed the final editing and  Copies will be available for
sale this Friday, March 7. A webpage will be up on Thursday or Friday,
and I will post a link when it is. I can, however, give you a little
information now. The tape is in VHS format with a running time of 41
minutes. The cost is $24 plus shipping ($6 inside US)

If you would like more information now, or would like to order a copy,
please send requests to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with 'Tucson video' in the
subject line.

Thanks for looking, 
Bob Holmes

[meteorite-list] Re: [MeteoriteCollectors] Ebay Experiment

2002-06-30 Thread BobHolmes

Matteo-
I am certain that you are always looking for a deal, and I know you have
bought many NWA's. But by your purchasing meteorites at what you call
'ruined prices', are you not in fact adding to the problem you speak of?
If this lowering of prices is so offensive to your principles, don't buy
the stuff at those prices. You are like everybody else in the world, we
all want to but low and sell high. But as we all know, we can't always
get what we want.

Add that list the approxmately 1 kilo Kediri (L4) stone at ASU. I'll see

Re: [meteorite-list] VOTE IMCA an observation EGO????

Hello All-
I was sitting down to express my thoughts to the list when I read Ken's
email. He pretty much summed up what I wanted to say. 

Vote: IMCA

  I don't have the answer either. I just
know that original IMCA was based on
no one person having the upper hand. All were to be equals. When we
began voting, I felt that the majority's will would be known and accordingly
the direction the association should move. First a discussion, then a vote,
is the only way I know to obtain a consensus.
 Rhett, however was deeply hurt by the way
things were regressing. The name was already established. Web Domain was
set up.  List of members were made up and posted. Yahoo Groups was
set up. Paypal account eastablished  All of this was now to be changed! 
Can you understand his frustration? To some it may not seem like "that
much"  but  where is the end ? Perhaps in the beginning 
there should have been more discussion and then a vote. But there wasn't
because there were no members at the time.
 Efforts to persuade him to return have also
failed.  I hope he returns to the fine job he started. Not to change
what has been done but to progress forward
