Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Fukang
Hi Michael. Yes, what you said was that: "It [Fukang] was being offered at less than 10Euros a gram in large chunks, I saw pieces from 100 grams to 2 kilos." I believe the operative phrase here is 'LARGE chunks', not beautiful, 10-20g translucent part slices, but LARGE chunks. 2000g x 10 Euro/gram = ~$24,000.00 That is pretty much the wholesale price for that quantity of Esquel, isn't it? I'm betting that there is currently more Esquel available for the market than Fukang, and most collectors already have Esquel. Almost no one has any Fukang and there are very few places that one could purchase it if they wanted to. We can each make up our own minds as for what that means for the market, but if you think the market is going to be "flooded" with Fukang, then by all means wait.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Fukang
I thought I made it clear that it was being offered here at less than 10 euros per gram, if you have some esquel for that price, chunks, slices, or endcuts, you let me know, I will buy, but thus Fukang pallasite, while gorgeous, if fukang huge, and with 900 kilos, or 300 kilos, the market cant hold up a high fukang price. Bob Haag and I were discussing it over many beers at the Hofbrauhaus saturday night, and we both know what is going to happen. High price on market, low sales, then panic and offers very cheap. It has happened to many times before.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Fukang
Yes, that about sums it up. You know, we heard the same thing about how many meteorites now, Agoult, D'Orbigny, Ben Guerir, etc etc etc, always the same story, large meteorites, only a tiny bit to be sold and this one is near 900 kilos. You tell me, all these investors and you think they arent going to all be trying to cash in before each other? I am sure there is a long line of people waiting to dole out $250,000 each for slices, I have those kind of sales almost daily:). The writing is on the wall, when no large slices sell,they will begin flooding the market with small pieces, then when the price drops, I will buy.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Fukang
Hi Rob...My personal opinion is that Fukang will not be selling for any less that it has been selling for, and my bet is that, if anything it will be selling for more. When you say Mike saw a "whole bunch" in Munich, I'm assuming it was less than or equal to 7.7 kilos of mostly end-pieces. In any case, it is pretty clear to me that the majority of the Fukang pallasite will not be hitting the market, and considering that it is the only best looking pallasite out there, I don't think that any of the very few people that have any will be in any big hurry to sell it for less than say...Esquel. If anything my prediction would be that it will be priced well above Esquel.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Fukang
So, to sum up: There isn't a whole lot of fukang meteorite to go round so don't expect the fukang price to go down. If you're looking for a fukang deal you may not a get a fukang specimen. But then Mike saw a whole bunch of fukang meteorites in Munich so the whole fukang market is in question.
