Yes Mike,

I have bought a few very select meteorites there, some
thin sections three maybe four in fact, and some
select tiny pieces for making thin sections.

BUT YOU WILL NOTICE...

I have never sold any meteorites there.

And when I make an offer on a slide I set in my mind
how much I want it and is as far as I go. I really
hate the Ebay auction hype, and won't get caught up in
it.

BTW:

I HATE EBAY ;->
