Scroll to the bottom for today's listings and I just upgraded Yahoo to =
allow you to view the=20
REALLY LARGE PHOTOS




Hello all-

I have been asked by one of our list members to assist in the sale of =
his meteorite collection as his son has taken ill. He is self employed =
and many of you out there know how lousy private insurance can be. This =
is not a sale that can be run over a great amount of time as the bills =
are piling up rapidly and his son is thus far no better and in need of =
further testing.

It is with a heavy heart that he came to me with his collection of ~300 =
pieces with a retail value of ~$50,000 and asked me to help.

There are many world class pieces here and I intend to show them all to =
you over the next month. What I am going to do is list for you folks 10 =
meteorites each day with brief info including price and a link to =
photos. From that time you folks will have one day to purchase them =
direct. The next day I will list those that did not sell on eBay and =
give you a crack at 10 more...and so on.

Speed is key here, no holds, no day after inquiries, no counter offers =
the price is the price. I will get these out as fast as possible via =
priority mail for $4 US and $5.50 foreign unless otherwise stated. First =
reply takes the piece and if I don't get back to you then you were not =
the first reply. Sorry for seeming rude but time is of the essence and =
it will hold me up as well as delay medical treatment for his son if I =
stop and reply to everyone who didn't win.

The photo link will be to my Yahoo Photos where you will find folders =
labeled Monday-Sunday. Just click whatever day it is and find the =
photos.

I WILL NOT disclose any information on who the owner is, that is =
confidential information and I feel I've already said enough.

I don't want to upset any of you who don't like constant ads, so the =
name of the thread will stay the same each day and I will only be =
posting to MetCent so you will not receive these in triplicate. If I get =
flamed for these sales then I will stop the offerings here and use eBay =
only. The text will continue to be shown each day for any who missed it =
all somehow but the pieces and prices at the bottom will be different.

Finally, please be patient, this is a lot to sell and I lack the =
streamlined precision of some of our eBay Powersellers out there. Doing =
the best I can to clear this out so our friend can get on with things.

  a.. I accept cash, check, PayPal, money orders=20
  b.. Sorry, no trades=20
  c.. I will hold delivery on request but payment must be made for each =
one, less shipping after the first. Let me know when to send them=20
  d.. I will try to end the eBay leftovers to end between 6 and 8pm=20
  e.. I will try to list to you folks between 6 and 10pm

So, without further ado allow me to present:


Bjurbole LL4 Finland 15.4 gram fragment $105

Dhurmsala LL6 India super thin 6 gram slice $42

Estherville Mes Iowa awesome 15 gram partslice with crust $110

Macy L6 New Mexico 9.2 gram polished partslice $38.50

Haxtun H/L4 Colorado 18.0 slice $42

Mont Dieu deformed octahedrite France 183.3 gram half slice $375

Kendleton L4 Texas 11.8 gram thin slice with crust $175

Springer H5 Oklahoma 10.2 gram ULTRA-THIN partslice with crust $25

El Sampal IIIAB Argentina 27.8 gram etched partslice with 2 edges of =
crust $70

Salar De Imilac H5 Chile 29.97 gram thin crusted slice $110

......and the link

......and the URL =
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/robandcolleen11197/lst?.dir=3D/HELP+A+BROTHER+=
OUT&.src=3Dph&.view=3D

Keep an eye on eBay too as some of these are bound to reappear.

More tomorrow
