I have a demonstrated ability to find meteorites and have approached some of the major retail meteorite dealers with such a proposition. Nada... In fact, with Glorieta I offered to "wholesale" to them all that I found. Instead, they tried to edge in on me on that, telling me that my asking price was too high. Okay, they can find them themselves-- let's see where the prices will go then. Anyway, that is a whole other issue. The fact is that I know of no dealers, or institutions that will "grubstake" such a venture. Without being too sarcastic, if you find one, let me know-- I have been looking for over 20 years. >I assume there are many ethical hurdles that may trouble some people, but I >would be willing to meet reasonable demands for job performance assurance >and I do not desire to keep the meteorites myself.
