Hi Steve,

meteorites forsale
> anywhere, beside ebay?

The short answer is no. Pretty much every one of the 30 official Nevada
meteorites is
either in a museum/institution or privately curated by its finder. Primm,
Nevada (H5)
is a rare exception as there are several people (Mr. Verish, myself and a
few other
list members included) who have personally found a few Primm meteorite
fragments.
But you should consider yourself fortunate if you can acquire even a small
fragment
for your collection. As another list member (was it Paul Martyn?) recently
posted,
California and Nevada meteorites are special cases because the majority of
the finds
from these states have been made by only a handful of researchers doing
detailed
field work over the last 5 years or so. As such, California and Nevada
meteorites
are a bit like Antarctic meteorites as far as their availability to private
collectors. --Rob
