Hello All,
After nearly 15 years my early, early Garmin is dead in the water. It was a
good one, but a little inaccurate compared to the newer models I have
witnessed.. Anyone know of a good all round model in today's world? Any help
will be appreciated.
Best Wishes and Thanks

FINALLY a voice of reason.
I was wondering not that the Count brought up Blood's auction. How does
auction fees compare to eBay? I would be they are more and there is a buyers
premium which eBay does NOT have.

I think this is something that is very on topic as regards to ebay fees and
such. Many people here buy and or sell meteorites on ebay and the fee increase

Hi Listees...
I have a 2g Zagami fragment that needs to be sold. It has a very cool pyramid
shape consisting of two fragmented sides, a large cut and polished face, and an
entire backside of glossy black fusion crust. It actually weighs 2.1 on my 1/10
scale, but I'll sell it at an even 2 grams.
I am getting tried of reading about how someone might go about screwing
with other businesses and request that this topic be defined as off
topic and taken off list.

I saw this earlier this morning but haven't had time to follow up on it.
It could have been overcast hence the reason no fireball was actually seen.

That trick has been around since the beginning of eBay. It's now officially
against the rules:
According to the eBay website. the policy on fee circumvention for shipping
is as follows:
Unreasonable shipping or handling costs - The seller may add a reasonable
shipping and handling fee to t
So far no one has mentioned the most obvious part. This idea of small
product price/high shipping price is not new. It was pounded into the ground
by sellers and it is a trick that became synonymous (in the eBay meteorite
circle) with the fake meteorite sellers passing off hematite as Chin

Everyone here knows I'm no meteorite dealer, but I do have my own business. My

Thank you for this info brend. Glad you are back.
This is very interesting. It is yet another case where O-isotopes rule!
Even though by definition these Winonaites are the same as silicated irons,
the O-Isotopes move them up to a higher status as Winonaites.

Hi Richard, hope you have been good.
You are right. To circumvent ebay fees by increasing shipping is a violation of
ebay rules. Anyone who is a TRS would get it taken.
I agree with Mike. Let's take our meteorites to websites and focus on
advertising them.
That's what I am doing. I will still s
On further thought, allow me to clarify, so I am not misconstrued.
I do not advocate cheating eBay out of money or stealing for them. I
did not bring up that idea and I do not condone it.
I joined eBay back in 1999 and the atmosphere was entirely different
and more positive then. You never hear
I usually don't sell on ebay, but when I did sell a few items, I put in the
actual estimated cost for shipping the item instead of using ebay's

with and I got a warning that my price was higher than it should have been.

Hello Jeff, All,
An excellent point - it's hardly a question since your hypotheses were
spot-on.
All of these paired "metal-rich winonaites" are actually *the same
meteorite* as the silicated iron NWA 2680.
