I would guess that 90% of the = meteorite people on the list rarely if ever post. Anyway I was wondering = if the dealers at the top of the meteorite world still have time to = collect meteorites? Do you collect each new fall and or find that you = sell? Is it more fun to sell a new meteorite or to add it to your = collection?=20 I am fairly new at collecting and selling meteorites. Each time I see = or find something that is new or different I tend to collect it. I just = added a Canyon Diablo to my collection that has a hole through it. It = would be very easy to sell it and make a few bucks, but I would rather = keep it in my collection. I found a Gold Basin that shows flow lines and = has a rollover lip, I could sell it for a dollar a gram, but I would = rather collect it. I guess I am wondering if anyone is collecting meteorites or just = selling them. I would like to hear about the really cool one you put in = your personal collection, maybe even see a picture. I had a friend give = me a 2 kilo Gibeon (the best I have ever seen) as a gift. I would not = sell the piece for $100.00 per gram. I also had a friend give me a 14.5 = gram iron from AZ, I would not sell it for $100.00 per gram either. Am I = the only collector out there?
