I have a great idea, everybody. Before anyone offers anything for sale, they should email Matteo to ask him how much the asking price should be. Then all pricing would be perfect.in the eyes of the Italian Stallion. Mark - Original Message - From: M come Meteorite

Dear Matteo and List, I have watched this pricing debate go on and on for a long time now. I believe there are several price levels for any meteorite. One must consider if the meteorite is a whole stone, complete slice, part slice, fragment, a fresh piece, weathered piece or has cool

I dont think people will ever agree on a value for meteorites. I am a member of coin and stamp disscussion groups with excact catalog values and a big part of the postings to coin and stamp discussion groups are bickering over values. And those are products with known mintages, grading systems and

Dean, Great post. There are so many factors to the value of any particular specimen as you pointed out. One thing I think people selling meteorites should do is take a little more time in justifying the price they are asking. This means justifying why the price might be particularly

Steve, There is no justification. Meteorite sellers offer a commodity and of course add hype as they see fit. A buyer has to be informed. My rule is to NEVER buy a meteorite when I want to. New falls in particular are the worst buy. Collectors need to buy like dealers and there is no reason why
