Re: [meteorite-list] park forest fall on tv now
Happy Barwellmas ;-) Or upload the tv prog somewhere that us folks in the other remote parts of the Universe can access it (with a link on the list)...then that would be marvelous. Just a thought that as Tucson is always after Christmas then family can't browse around for presents...so all you dealers are missing out (and collectors for that matter)surprised I havn't seen seen some of you selling meteorite gift vouchers...would work online too?as most family have no idea what to buy in the form of a meteorite for their loved one then that would help everybody out :-) Hope everyone has an excellent festive break before the build up to Tucson.

Fwd: [meteorite-list] Park Forest fall
Hi Mike and List, Because the news media reported that the going price is $500.00 and ounce, it makes me wonder what the Field Museum is willing to shell out for specimans. Or are people just going to be browbeated for their finds? Seems that the Field Museum will be the recipient of a two-edged sword. First they tell everyone to donate to the Museum / Universities. Then the media heats the fire with the $500.00 an ounce curse. Let me see if I have this right: Media reports $500 an ounce-Field Museum doesn't have those kind of funds (for dinosaur Sue yes), but tells everyone to come Saturday for their big payday.hm. This should be interesting. Steve Sachs (also from Chicago area) IMCA# 9210 ---BeginMessage--- I am also saddened, the people here mostly still have their stones, they think they hit the lotto and made millions. I have offered $5000 for several stones today in the 1 kilo range and been laughed at and nearly booted out. They think that is an insult and freaked out. This is what I am saying, there is no sense of reality now, they all think they are millionaires. I expect there will be a few hundred grams for sale by us dealers, not much more. I mean, who can buy it here and make any money? I hope some change their minds so that we can provide for those who did not make it here. I love meteorites, and love the chase, and this one could be so cool but it is already too stressful. Ask Steve Witt.

By the way, I don't suggest going to the police station or calling them regarding the meteorites, you will not get a warm reception. Mike Farmer ---End Message---

Well, in defense of the common man here, imagine yourself as someone who knows squat about meteorites except for tidbits that cross the news every now and then that tell of a SNC or Lunar selling for a crazy amount of money. Then all of a sudden you have one fall in your yard, it's all over TV, dealers are swooping in and setting up tables to buy it, Museums are clamoring for it - what would you think? I would think I'd hit the jackpot too. As a meteorite enthusiast, I think this would be the perfect time for some meteorite education. Set up a lecture one night to tell people about the different types of meteorites, maybe even have a few to show. Explain why some are really valuable and some aren't quite so valuable. A meteorite saavy public probably would have avoided much of this. After all, in everything, ignorance is our worst enemy. Steven Steven Singletary 54-1224 Dept.

My guess is that when the finders show up at the museum, they will probably be told that it's their duty as citizens to donate the meteorites or sell them at a low price.

Re: Fwd: [meteorite-list] Park Forest fall
I hope you are right, but now it is being bought by dealers for $12.00 gram . This is not such a large fall, very populated area, so not many lying in fields. Good luck to all wanting some, ill be home in a couple days, I will have some for sale, price unknown but quite expensive. If you want to wait, no problem, but then you risk getting nothing of this fall. Time will tell. I saw nothing today, the people who have the large pieces in there homes will not sell, except one that is, I got that one here beside me right now. It smashed a house, and a printer, and a computer game. I got the printer, meteorite, hole cut out of the roof, shigle with hole through it. 1 kilo, of course, NOT FOR SALE WHATSOEVER, NEVER WILL BE. Sorry to the dealers who tried to outbid me and buy out from under me, the woman who sold it to me had enough integrity to keep her word and complete the deal we made over many hours of haggeling and phone calls.

I can deal with it now, I will get him a nice piece from what I have, so anyone else who wants to donate, go ahead.

I would be glad to donate $20.00 or so for such a worthy cause. With Mike Farmer busy working the fall, it doesn't seem appropriate for him to be given the added burden. Any volunteers? Let me know and I'll send $$.

[meteorite-list] Park Forest fall
I am also saddened, the people here mostly still have their stones, they think they hit the lotto and made millions. I have offered $5000 for several stones today in the 1 kilo range and been laughed at and nearly booted out. They think that is an insult and freaked out. This is what I am saying, there is no sense of reality now, they all think they are millionaires. I expect there will be a few hundred grams for sale by us dealers, not much more. I mean, who can buy it here and make any money? I hope some change their minds so that we can provide for those who did not make it here. I love meteorites, and love the chase, and this one could be so cool but it is already too stressful. Ask Steve Witt. The man filed a complaint saying Steve ripped him off by not paying him the $500 an ounce ! The police chief told Steve to get out or be arrested. I mean really, what kind of crap is that? By the way, I don't suggest going to the police station or calling them regarding the meteorites, you will not get a warm reception. Mike Farmer
