[meteorite-list] eBay policemen?
Hi, I have to throw in my 2g's worth here - seems that some people on the list spend too much of their time trawling eBay looking for auctions to criticise and debunk and publish their 'findings' to the list. Fine in principle, but we are not here to police eBay - I think that Caveat Emptor should prevail here. If anyone is naive or stupid enough to spend thousands of bucks on a so-called 'meteorite' and from a supplier who doesn t sport the IMCA label then so be it. Like a lot of people, I find the exceptional ripoffs very funny and I am quite happy to have my attention drawn to it, but on the whole these auctions for faux meteorites are all a bit sad, desperate and not really funny. Seems to me that every Metlist digest I get now has a look at this eBay auction... gleefully pointing out some stupid ad - Can I suggest that perhaps one could spend one's time better employed? frustratingly frustrated! dave IMCA #0092 __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] eBay policemen?
Thanks Dave I liked the way you phrased that. I have been bypassing some of the posts for the more interesting and informative ones like Mike's and Atul's. My minor was anthropology, so I find hearing about India interesting. Its also a look into what can be expected when one travels for any reason. When one travels abroad, searching for meteorites or just for pleasure, one really needs to keep in mind (and an open mind at that) that you will often leave the western world behind and enter into a civilization that is so different that its hard to comprehend. I wish I had the fore-sight when I was younger to search for meteorites when I was overseas. But I enjoyed those far away lands all the same. This list has opened the world up for me again and although I do travel and camp a lot here in the northwest, its not the same as being in a non-western country. I would like to hear of some of the other major meteorite hunting peoples exploits in distant lands. Maybe, if they read the list, they will post some of their travels and enlighten those less fortunate or willing. I find that as much fun as the meteorites they find and buy.

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay policemen?
Hello List, Please correct me if I am wrong! Please try to be polite when doing so! : ) I think it hurts us all when some one uses misleading tactics to sell meteorites. Why do I think that? I will tell you. Ebay is by far the best, cheapest and easiest place to get meteorites. Lets say someone new goes on ebay and sees a 2000g Campo described as "HUGE" and looks around and there is no Campo larger on ebay at the time, the buyer goes back to the auction and finds a IMCA link, clicks on it and learns what a honest bunch of sellers IMCA members are. The new buyer even clicks on a few links and does not see a Campo that big on any of the sites. The buyer will feel like he is getting a Huge Campo at a great price. He goes back to the auction and uses Buy it now. He gets it and is thrilled with this Huge Campo. He gets the "BUG" and goes back to Ebayto look around. This time he finds a 94lb Campo, but his campo was huge? So what is a buyer to think? DON"T TRUST THEM DISHONEST IMCA MEMBERS, that whole bunch are full of #%$(# ! Now what, buy from none IMCA members, OK, and it turns out to be slag! Oh well, this meteorite collecting thing sucks! You can not trust anyone! I do know, one important part of selling, is you need buyers. If no one wants to buy meteorites, no one can sell them!!! I live in AZ, and it is still summer here, still in the high 90's, to hot for GB, so all my meteorite hunting is done on ebay! I am just telling you all of my hunting adventures. : ) All I am trying to get across is that honesty is the best policy. If you have a 2k Holbrook, tell people it is huge!!! If you have a 2k campo, say it is nice sized or something, save HUGE for the huge Campos!

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay policemen?
Personally and practically, a 2kg meteorite of any type usually I regard as 'huge' mainly because it would have cost me a lot ofmoney - I have been collecting for a few years and I don't have anything approaching 2kg in size, so for me 'huge' is an appropriate adjective! Also, I would, if Iwere that buyer, look around sosee what else was on offer in order go guesstimate the correct sort of price, and decide that if it is good value and looks good then ok, it may not be a 3/4 ton Otumba as in the NHM (London) but for domestic collections it is pretty substantial. It is all relative! But I agree with Tom's last statement that theperhaps the seller oughtto check out what 'huge' is relative to the rock he is selling. I personallywould regard 0.25g of Calcalong Creek as 'huge'!

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay policemen?
Hello all, why can't people write 1500g Campo in their description instead of saying huge Campo. Instead, they make people look at the auction to see what the sellers idea of huge is. What would ebay be like if everyone simply wrote meteorite in the description, you would have to look at every auction to find what you are looking for. I don't want to look at every auction to find the size I am looking for.
