Hello David and List,

David, please don't take this the wrong way as I am not trying to tell =
you how to sell meteorites but why can't those of you (three =
individuals) who have the remaing CR2 supply sell it for lower prices, =
as Dean has. Did Dean lose money selling at $23.00/gram?=20

Best wishes,

-Walter=20

  Dear List

       I am one of about 4 dealers who bought up CR2s in Morroco.We all =
shared our good fortune with friends, collectors and Ebay buyers.This =
however was a very temporary opportunity which will never be seen again. =
Dean Bessy allowed collectors for a once in a lifetime chance at letting =
them have CR2s at $23 a gram. People who would never have dreamed one =
year ago at such an opportunity, now proudly display their CR2s and are =
expanding their collections.He will sell out at Tucson leaving only =
three of us with the lion's share of this find. The strewn field is =
small and totally worked over.Those of us left will never after Tucson =
let this rare material sell for under $100 a gram.I probably control =
half of the fall and will personally keep or donate it to the Royal =
Ontario Museum in Toronto , Canada. [ about4,000+ grams]. Thus supply =
and demand kick in and those that have it are in no hurry to sell it at =
low prices after Feb. 2002. For those that bought CR2s from Dean, =
Congratulations on the great deal. For those who didn't it's highly =
unlikely you will ever be offered this gift again, which was more of a =
temporary parntnership to help offset Deans investment.Dean has done =
well by buying from the source and adding a bit of a mark up. He is =
providing material today that we could only have dreamed of a year ago =
at affordable prices. He has helped to expand the base of our collecting =
community and is an asset to us.Those who bought in the past at high =
prices should not worry. The material is limited and will continue to =
sell to high prices in the future. Best regards David Gregory=20
