Since 3 years I'm reading his posted SALES and as far as the prices are = concerned, they aren't especially cheap, they are quite the normal = average prices for each locality and only very few pieces are below = average. In that respect he's an example for market stability. I'm talking about the collecor's prices, not of the bulk trader prices = or dealer's prices or singular "Blow Out" sales, nor from ebay. Since years I'm compiling lists comparing the prices of the complete = assortments of meanwhile 140 dealers and dealer/collectors worldwide. Of course there are handfull dealers, who have a special high price = level or much more highest prices on single meteorites than the average = and those may be scared in sudden price developments or special offers = (I don't want to argue about, because of course my lists can't reflect = the quality of the offered pieces), but Cottingham's offers are in the = very most cases simply average priced. Of course there was a large crash of prices of especially among the rare = types, but on the other hand the prices of most "classical" localities, = "meteorites with names" vs. desert finds remained stable since 4 years = (according to my lists) and some even raised in price. Again, I'm not talking about ebay. And please don't email me, because = you want to have my lists! It's a horrible work to make them and a good = cook never will publish his book with secret receiples. Regards!
