"NEW" DAG489 Mars rock. At a 15% Discount to.

Yes, I am offering DAG489 on eBay (As well as on my website: 
www.meteoriteshop.com), and yes, I am marketing it as a new meteorite. Like 
many meteorites this one is beleived to be paired with another one - in this 
case DAG476). If you look at Nasa'a website it is listed as the 14th 
meteorite (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/snc/index.html) and the BBC news artical 
which has a link from the site indicates it as the 14th, even though it is 
indicated that it is possibly paired with another one.
This meteorite even has an officialy different name. To listen to  the 
earlier agruement listed on this mailing list I (Or anybody else) could sell 
DAG476 for DAG489 (or vice versa) and it be OK which of course it is not. I 
think that people would be upset if they received DAG476 when they ordered 
DAG489. The meteor naming organization feels that it is different enough to 
segregate it with a different name. That in itself makes it different.
I ask you this question: If a new meteorite from Mars was discovered 
tomorrow would it be known as the 14th or the 15th? I beleive that it would 
be known as the 15th. Wither or not they are from the same fall, DAG476 and 
DAG489 will always be considered different. As such no Mars collection is 
totally complete without both DAG476 and DAG489.
SINCE I WANT TO HELP EVERYBODY COMPLETE THEIR MARS COLLECTION I AM GOING TO 
OFFER A 15% DISCOUNT TO READERS OF THIS LIST FOR ANY DAG476 or DAG489 
PURCHASED FROM MY WEBSITE FROM NOW UNTIL TUESDAY. (www.meteoriteshop.com). 
You will get the one that you ordered. No substituting DAG476 for DAG489 or 
DAG489 for DAG476.
While I am at it the 15% discount will also apply to all meteorites listed 
on my website from now until Tuesday - including the Zagami and THE big 5MM 
piece of Shergotty.
I will be putting up more DAG400 moon rock shortly also so check back at my 
site around the middle of the week - my 15% discount will apply to the 
DAG400 moonrock all week. (I broke up the big piece that I just bought and 
was going to put my affordable micromounts of DAG400 on my website today but 
unfortunately I ran out of display cases so will have to wait until I can 
buy more sometime in the next few days.  Oh yes, check out my rare Layayette 
and Shergotty on eBay along with the DAG476, Zagami and DAG489. Just think 
of me as your Mars meteorite dealer, or just "THE MARS MAN".
Cheers
DEAN BESSEY
