It looks like the seller is trying to make people think that they are bidding on the pictured meteorite, not a copy of a paper about the meteorite. He's hoping people will bid high without fully reading (or understanding, for non-native English speakers) the description. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] killer glenormiston iron
Hi Darren, Regarding the Villalbeto de la Pena meteorite paper, I thing the Seller mirko66 was quite explicit about offering a paper. Also, having personally dealt with the Seller, I am sure if someone bid up a paper to the value of what the main mass would be worth (1.4 kg), he would not force the sale, and that there is no oddness whatsoever about this auction. Btw, you responced to the wrong post, what is Bob Walker thinking about auctioning his glenie piccie?! Best wishes and Best health!

Re: [meteorite-list] killer glenormiston iron
Ah cmon The Glenormiston is not for sale I'm not asking for any bids - the Glenormiston is not going to be auctioned and I'm not selling a copy of a paper about the meteorite The QMIG site is a work in progress to encapsulate the meteoritical history of Queensland The piccy of the Glenormiston is merely available to view - its one that you would never see otherwise http://www.rawnet.com.au/~qwalkra1/index.htm I do intend to sell some numbered limited edition specimens but pictures and prices of these are again a work in progress and as stated will flow on from the nomcom process as and when that occurs - its a longer term plan to bring new stones to the meteorite community Ciao - Original Message - From: "Darren Garrison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] killer glenormiston iron > On Tue, 16 Jan 2007 09:15:24 +1000, you wrote: > >>Hi listoids >> >>Checkout the killer Glenormiston iron at >> >>http://www.rawnet.com.au/~qwalkra1/glenormiston.htm >> > > Kind of questionable auction, in my opinion.

Auction? All I see is a pic of a very different iron... Am I missing something? IE7 often goes awry in its displays...

My reply was meant to be for the "what a beauty" thread with this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/A-flight-oriented-meteorite-Villalbeto-de-la-Pena-Nr-25_W0QQitemZ30007185QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3239QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem People don't always read auction descriptions when they bid. There have been multiple occasions when people would list the BOX for something-- like an Xbox or PS3-- and put it in the description in the listing that it was nothing but a box. But people who didn't read the description well would bid it up to the full action price of the acutal item, and end up with an empty box. That's what I expect to happen with this auction.

A A fool and his money... One day, I will fall foul of this sort of thing. Then you can quote me back to me and make me feel an even bigger numptie! I'm just hoping that as a Scot, I am so cynical and tight fisted to part with my money without being careful. But maybe one day. I've seen the "box" type scams too but I don't think this is in the same league. Anyone who knows about these things is likely to check and read properly, surely? Especially something like glenormiston. If it was a con like the other meteorite stuff it'd be a bare-faced lie, surely. Rob McC Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
