Hello

I not have buy only on ebay Tenham, I have buy my 45
gr. slice for $2.1/gr. and if you see who have tenham
for the price of 6-10/gr. not sale why now the people
have the right price of this meteorite is $1.2-2/gr. -
thanks to the all put rare or historical meteorites on
ebay for ruined prices - after is not only the low
prices for some meteorites, other is many esagerated
type request $3000/gr. for a slice of Renazzo when
time ago I have find a 10 gr. slice for $5000,
unfortunately I not have $5000, but if I trade from a
museum the value is $300/gr. not 3000 - over a 1 gr.
of Orgueil - Park Forest if I want I find pieces take
the first days for this price, but is over the 50 gr.
and is not for me.....the price guide is to change
all, who have the old prices not sale many, I see my
historical pieces, the just price but no go sale...
Regards

Matteo
