If he can come up with samples of everything and they turn out to be meteorites, then I might believe him. But as of yet ALL he has sent me is everything BUT meteorites.

But yes, I expect he will be listing his "meteorites" at ebay-- it is only a matter of time.

(maybe he will even set up his own lab, where everything submitted turns out to be a meteorite)
