Hello Dave and List,

A dealer is one who sells.

My wife said to me in 1997 in Feb. at the Tucson show. It looks to me
like they are all selling meteorite to each other are they all dealers.

My answer was yes.

Dave you must have noticed this too, because you did a cartoon once
showing just that.

A TRUE DEALER is one who sells, that's it.

Part time or full time, classified, unclassified, long term , short
term, fair pricing, PRICE FIXING what the market will bear, material
prepared, material not prepared, its an open market.

Let's not kid ourselves



Take Care,
Tim Heitz

Dear List;
A recent post seemed to repeatedly shuffle my quaff. How do we
classify a dealer and why? If a person sells a few meteorites for
money to buy more meteorites to add to his collection, is that a dealer?

  If a person like myself who sells a kilo or two a year to promote the
hobby and make a buck (not much more than that) is that a dealer? Do we

have to make a living, or a substantial part of our income from
meteorites to be judged a true dealer? Seems to me that anyone who
"deals" is a dealer. Suppose in the old times to some of us, sell three

and get the forth one for free.
Any comments welcomed.
Works for me,
Dave Freeman
