Hello Everyone! (Who might care)


I would suggest one thing with this "New" Fall
from Morocco. Before buying any....wait until it
is classified and wait until a ~ total known weight
is known. Buying in the beginning can sometimes
be smart....but often, until all the facts are known
you will get a price burn.

You might want to wait a bit......

If there is 100 kilos or more of this new fall....it will
be on ebay for $2.00 a gram (perhaps) in the
near future. However, if there is only 10 kilos you
might want to grab it now! You see....there is
information missing here..... and you could get
a bad price burn by not having this information.

When Zag first came out it was $3-$5.00 per gram
and then it shot up to $11.00, and now you can buy Zag
for $1.00 to $5.00 per gram......

Also, I do not have any...nor do I plan on getting
any in the near future..... my advice about waiting
is from personal experience with a meteorite
collection now numbering well over 700 falls
and finds.

I mean..... CR2,s were $200 to $500.00 per gram last year
and now you could of bought some last week for $20.00
per gram! Be careful!

In anycase....just a few personal thoughts....


Best Wishes

Michael Cottingham
