BEGIN LEGAL DISCLAIMER: These are just my opinions and mine alone. I do not have any malicious = or libelous intentions toward anyone and I am perfectly happy with the = knowledge that others do not agree with me. Live and let live, I'm = okay, you're okay, one size fits all, objects in mirror are closer than = they appear, do not bend, fold or mutilate, don't eat yellow snow, dry = clean only yada, yada, etc..., etc... END LEGAL DISCLAIMER I won't join the yahoo group to post ebay announcements because of two = reasons. It is my understanding, and I could be wrong about this, that = one has to be an IMCA member in order to post (or at least IMCA = membership is preferred), and, for reasons which I will not elaborate, I = have no intention of joining the IMCA. Second, the idea of a whole list devoted to ebay auctions sounds awfully = silly to me. I know how to get to ebay and how to check for meteorite = auctions and I know how to bid and sell on ebay. Everyone else who is = reading these words knows how to do these tasks as well and I really = don't see the need for a separate list devoted to things which I and = others already know how to do.=20 And, well, I guess there is a third reason. Given that some list = members seem to enjoy participating in mud-slinging, libelous posts, = threats and accusations, childish behavior and general intolerance of = personality/cultural differences among others, I have no problem with = comparatively innocuous and at least in some way meteorite-related ebay = ads. Besides, apparently Art doesn't mind either.=20 Now... I recently got in a bunch of those 1 x 1 inch boxes that some of us use = to house micromounts, the ones with the foam pads. I normally sell them = for .50 each but for list members they are .35 each, any quantity, plus = a small shipping charge. Also, beginning tomorrow evening EST and lasting for several days, I = will be selling some meteorites and supplies on ebay. I really don't = know what some of what I have is worth, so I will start all auctions at = .01 and let the free market decide. These include a huge 619 gram = individual of NWA 869, a 383 gram Odessa, a slice of Valera (the cow = killer from Argentina), a crusted Pultusk endpiece, display/storage = cases, a lot consisting of 5 meteorite books and 5 meteorites, and a = huge collection of maybe 40 or so specimens, complete with storage box = and cases. Maybe even some cutting and polishing equipment (have not = decided on that yet). Some auctions are underway already and some won't = start until later but they are all only 3 day auctions. This will be the only email concerning this sale :-) Thanks and bis spater, -Walter ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com Walter Branch, Ph.D. Branch Meteorites PO Box 60492 Savannah, GA 31420 ------=_NextPart_000_0060_01C3C21C.65EB5420 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1276" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello Everyone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>First, to address Christian's=20 concerns.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>BEGIN LEGAL DISCLAIMER:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>These are just my opinions and mine = alone.
