Re: [meteorite-list] Pricing question
If it's leaving on a train from Chicago does that mean it arrived the day before at 40 MPH after being bought on ebay the day before that at 20,000 MPH?! ;-) Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From: "Darren Garrison" To: Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 5:44 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Pricing question On Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:06:50 -0700, you wrote: Suppose you have 3 specimens of a fairly common meteorite.

Suppose you have 3 specimens of a fairly common meteorite. Specimen #1 is a nice 100g individual. #2 is an equally nice 100g endcut with a polished face. #3 is a similarly nice 100g full slice, 3mm thick, with one side polished and the other side rough. All specimens are of equal quality (i.e., #1 is not a fabulously oriented piece, #3 does not have a super-fantastic inclusion). If specimen #3 sells for $10 per gram, how much do the others sell for?
