NEW EUCRITE:
The entire mass of the new eucrite that Matt has been selling was available
at Phillips this past January for $55,000, or $38/gram. It failed to meet
the reserve and did not sell.
Less than two months ago, a 20.6 gram partial slice of this same meteorite,
with fusion crust, was offered at Phillips and also failed to hit the
reserve of $40/gram.
Yet now $100/gram is eagerly being paid.
My point is that before anyone complains about the pricing of meteorites,
do a little research instead and your efforts may be rewarded.
(I possess much of the balance of the eucrite, but per an arrangement with
Matt, I will not be making any more material available until he sells-out
his inventory.)
Prices are more stable than what they might otherwise appear to be despite
the ridiculous figures being tossed around...which reminds me of a
vaudevillian joke: >>
