Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest meteorite debacle - whats a fair price?
NO ONE has 3 kilos, I have one piece of 928 grams, and 900 grams of fragments. I paid dearly. Also I have added up all of the pieces I know about, and I doubt there are too many yet found that I havnt seen except the pieces the museums and people got the first day. I belive now that there is less than 25 kilos known. I would like to know if anyone knows more.

Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest meteorite debacle - whats a fair price?
Hello, Several other stones were purchased for about $1.00 per gram. Approx weight maybe around 3 kilos. However these went straight into personal collections! On a funny note many stones were turned away from several buyers at $1.00 per gram because it was believed that there were going to be 100's of kilos. NOT! Next day, the buyers tried to buy those stones at the $1.00 price per gram and were laughed atby then it was $10.00 per gram...thanks to the police and museum.

Okm Matteo, let us know when you find another Pultusk fall in Italy.

Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest meteorite debacle - whats a fair price?
Yes but Alfianello is 1883 historical fall, andd all pieces is in museum and is hard this exit, I see who sale Alfianello for $100/gr. go sold with no problems. The same for my Albareto, I sale for $200/gr. and this go. Many have write to me alfianello, albareto and other historical falls is ordinary chondrites and the price request is esageratedwell, Ensisheim is a ordinary chondrite, why this person not sale for $2/gr. ? Barbotan is a ordinary chondrite, why this is sold for $200/gr.? This person have a 200 gr. of alfianello, but when I have ask to sale to me for $2/gr. the piece I not have received answer, strange...is a ordinary chondrite. The same for this new falls, is not a historical fall, probably at 50 years this new fall enter in the historical falls, but now is a normaly ordinary chondrite fall with over 50 kg. + and a price of $7/gr. is just. Ask to a italian museum a piece of a normaly meteorite or historical, the answer is nothing, no money accept and no trades - very very rare the trades here - is for this the italian/historical meteorites is hard to find.

Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest meteorite debacle
Hi List, Mike Farmer mentioned the specimens being worth $500.00 an ounce but when we were in the library asking around one of the ladies there told us they were worth $2,000.00 an ounce ($73.00/ gram) so it keeps going up in price. People in that area need to really get a grip on this one. There has to be lots of material around, including some that people haven't come across yet. This looks to be like an LL6 as others have mentioned. It is an ordinary chondrite and a quick look on dealer sites on the internet or if you wish ebay, those items don't usually sell for much more than $2 or $3 a gram (except in low total weight falls). What's a fair price?? I think the guy that sold to Steve W. for $1.00 got a good deal as well as Steve got a reasonable purchase. No one got ripped off. --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Mike and all the others that went to Chicago, I want to thank you all for your attempts and to say that this will bite the asses of all that have pieces that want too much for them. Let the idiots have there day and think they are going to be rich. Let the museums show their true colors and disappoint those that think they are going to get rich by selling to the museums. Do not let this crap get you mad. I predict that in a month or so this stuff will show up on ebayat first for way too much, then the price will drop. As long as some of our members have some samples they will be able to tell the rest of us if it is real when it hits ebay. In the past couple of years on the antiques road show a man from Tucson had an Indian Chief Blanket on there...valued at $500,000.00+ dollars. My wife and I buy and sell alot of native american blankets. After that blanket aired on the Roadshow every blanket we saw at sales was priced through the roof whether it was native american or made in mexico. We tried to explain to the sellers the differences and they all got mad, said they would rather "donate" to the Heard Museum or what they termed "real" collectors and get the tax break then sell too cheap. Everyone thought they would get rich. For a while you couldn't touch the blankets. We left our cards with everyone and just left them to their own devices. Well then the bubble popped, the museums told them what they had were not the geniune items, and many that were genuine were not "Chief" blankets which are truly rare. Soon after the bubble popped we were bak to buying blankets for what they were worthand we did have the satisifaction of telling those that were truly rude to shove their blankets were the sun don't shine. My point is that these morons with stones that listened to the other morons say it was worth $500 an ounce will soon find out that they can't sell it for that and the museum is not about to pay that much and will be looking to sell the stuff. Afterall, all the museums I have ever dealt with have "limited" budgets. It is not like this is a lunar, how much of it will they actually want to buy? And if you factor in all the "wrongs" that will show up which will probably be 5 times more than the real thing the museum will close shop quickly enough. You guys that went there to get the stuff deserve a huge thanks from all of us for trying. It will show up sooner or later. When people think they have a treasure that will make them rich they are always anxious to get the money. When they find out they are not millionaires they will sell, and then you will be in the driver seat. Hopefully there will be plenty for sale soon Mark M.

The news is not good. The people here all think that they are millionaires, they all want $10 to $20 gram now. The police chief tols Steve Witt to leave or be arrested as they think he robbed a meteorite finder by paying several dollars per gram! The news has stated that they are worth $500 per ounce ~$15 gram. The Museum in Chicago has not helped, stating that dealers are here to rip the locals off and that they should "donate all the pieces" to the university/museum. I have been in 6 homes today that were penetrated by meteorites, serious damage to many of them. There are many pieces but as I said, people now want $100,000 for some stones and they are NOT JOKING. I wish anyone who plans to come out good luck, I will hunt tomorrow and try to secure a stone or two, then go home and let people get to reality. I do have 4 pieces totaling about one kilo, 3 pieces that hit a house and damaged the siding. The other piece is a half individual that impacted the median in a road, and has the nose imbedded with yellow street paint. I do not know if there will be any out for sale any time soon, the price is so high we are just walking away from many people. A few got a few cheap specimens, but very few. If any will come for sale from me, it will likely be quite expensive. I do not know what the next few days hold, more pieces should be found though so maybe we will have more luck. I will email more info later. Mike Farmer
