I have so many reasons to disparage E-bay when it
comes to meteorites that I think it would be redundant
for me to go into it again. As I remember, years ago,
this was a hot topic on this list. As I remember, I
preseneted my objections to it then, and don't need to
now.

A search of the archives will reveal my thoughts.

My thougths have not changed.

And I wonder what Dr. Nininger would have thought. It
is easy, years after he is gone, to put down what we
would think he would say about E-bay now now.

I have a extreme hatred for E-bay, and its auctions,
and the mentality of it.

Thus I won't sell meteorites there.

Just my personal opinion.
