Hello yet again, List Members,

Several of you have been kind enough to let us know the images for the =
new lunar meteorite auction were not displaying. I think the image =
server must of had a sensor on it to determine when the most =
inappropriate time to go offline would be and then performed this task =
flawlessly to show us who was the boss. It failed 10 minutes before the =
first auction ended. Five out of fourteen items sold so we are not =
complaining too much, what good would it do? I think I will threaten =
the server with the largest screwdriver in my inventory and show it who =
its daddy is.

Now I know why we gave up computers to pursue meteorites. Fortunately =
meteorites do not have sensors on them to detect when the best time =
would be disintegrate to cause the maximum amount of stress.

For those of you who bid, thank you and for those of you who didn't =
thank you for being patient.

All the best,

Adam

  Dear list members,

  Thank you for your patience regarding this lunar offering. We know =
the overall health of the economy maybe affecting sales of this new =
material or the temporary lack of a name. So far it looks like four of =
the fourteen lots will sale. We will diamond lap any material that does =
not sell and offer again a much higher price due to polishing losses and =
prep time. If you are at all interested and are more concerned about =
price per gram than a gleaming finish you may consider bidding on this =
material. We only know of one dealer who polishes lunar material and =
they demand a premium for material offered this way.
  =20
  A few dealers are accusing us of dumping this material as we had =
predicted. We told them there is no shame to themselves bidding this =
price and there should be plenty of room for profit in the future. It =
seems some do not have enough patience to wait. We do not see where a =
one time offering can permanently effect the price of a certain =
commodity. These truly are wholesale priced and we hope that some =
collectors that are not prepared to spend several thousand a gram will =
be able to take advantage of this price. Do not worry, we will not =
loose the respect of fellow collectors by selling this material to a =
jeweler who in term will only offer lunar Rolexes to the wealthy. For =
some reason this would go against the grain of what we believe in.
  =20
  If you are at all interested you can check the status of these =
auctions which end in about an hour by clicking the link below.
