Re: [meteorite-list] IMCA not a knight in shining armour !
A knight in a rusty armour is better than a rogue in a golden robe. IMCA-labels reduce the probability especially for the beginners to fall for such sellers like the Minors, de Russes, Lindforses, Evanses, floridacoasters of the world and the Far-East-fakes-sellers... remarkably.

Ooops, of course I don't mean inhabitants of coastal Florida :-) It was that incident, when on ebay several auctions were held by a seller, whose ID was floridacoaster or so, who sold forged Dhofar-lunaites, not only with an invented legend, but with falsified certificates of the Institute of Planetology in Muenster, and the finder of that Dhofar number told too, that other than the story, the seller told, he never was selling material to him.

[meteorite-list] IMCA not a knight in shining armour !
Listoids Heaven forbid ! The alleged guardian of our sacred community condoning the sale of Mekong Iron It isn't the first or last time that Listoids have been unhappy with IMCA... I'd like to hear from other Listoids who have had disagreements with IMCA - I'm beginning to take the view that there is a bad odour to IMCA ( ? by dealers for dealers ?) - tho I'm still acutely aware of the excellent work done by many IMCA members At least it will take the heat off Bob EVANS for a while __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] IMCA not a knight in shining armour !
Oh Thanks Bob, Believe it or not I have many happy customers who continue to make purchases. And now that my customer base is shrinking thanks to all the conjecture that is strewn about this forum, some of them will be getting some great deals on my auctions. IMCA is a joke. Some of the most respectable people in the business never have and never will be a member of the IMCA. - Original Message - From: Bob WALKER qwal...@mailbox.ezadsl.net.au To: Meteorite meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:51 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] IMCA not a knight in shining armour !

Re: [meteorite-list] IMCA not a knight in shining armour !
I have buy only one time from Bob Evans and all its go ok with no problems. For IMCA I agree with the words Some of the most respectable people in the business never have and never will be a member of the IMCA. this is right, many meteorite dealers is not IMCA member and they sale with no problems and its honestly. What I have say to a IMCA member time ago: a Logo - IMCA logo - not confirm if you are honestly or a good dealer. I am a ex IMCA member and I am kick off from this why I I had battle with Farmer, but for me is not a problem, I not cry if I not have a IMCA logo.
