Hi Mike and List,
Because the news media reported that the going price is $500.00 and ounce, it
makes me wonder what the Field Museum is willing to shell out for specimans.
Or are people just going to be browbeated for their finds? Seems that the
Field Museum will be the recipient of a two-edged sword.

First they tell everyone to donate to the Museum / Universities. Then the
media heats the fire with the $500.00 an ounce curse.

Let me see if I have this right: Media reports $500 an ounce-----Field Museum
doesn't have those kind of funds (for dinosaur Sue yes), but tells everyone
to come Saturday for their big payday.....hmmmmm. This should be interesting.

I am also saddened, the people here mostly still have their stones, they thi=
nk they hit the lotto and made millions. I have offered $5000 for several st=
ones today in the 1 kilo range and been laughed at and nearly booted out. Th=
ey think that is an insult and freaked out. This is what I am saying, there=20=
is no sense of reality now, they all think they are millionaires. I expect t=
here will be a few hundred grams for sale by us dealers, not much more. I me=
an, who can buy it here and make any money? I hope some change their minds s=
o that we can provide for those who did not make it here.
I love meteorites, and love the chase, and this one could be so cool but it=20=
is already too stressful. Ask Steve Witt. The man filed a complaint saying S=
teve ripped him off by not paying him the $500 an ounce ! The police chief t=
old Steve to get out or be arrested. I mean really, what kind of crap is tha=
t?=20
By the way, I don't suggest going to the police station or calling them rega=
rding the meteorites, you will not get a warm reception.=20
