I am relatively new to meteorites, but If I had experienced these drops in
value over the past year:

> CR2: $200-300/GR. now $20-18/gr.
> R4 - 3.9: $500/gr. now $40/gr.
> SNC $2000-1000/gr. now $500-200/gr.
> Lunar $35.000/gr. now $5000 - 1000/gr.

and then chased this new find at $15/gm just to see it a week later at
$2/gm, this would not be my idea of fun. These look like NASDAQ price
ranges. And they may be more like the NASDAQ then we would hope,
spectacular prices, never to be seen again.

>From my limited vantage point, I see buckets of Saharans and Sikhotes and
loaves of Brahin slices on ebay. Someone commented that Bessey is
relatively new to meteorites but it looks to me like he's got the best grasp
on the impact of ebay and the internet.

My suggestion is to buy out of the pure excitement of collecting. You win
some, you loose some. But in the end, it should all be fun. Right?

Cheers,

Martin
