He has even just added a nice Amgala = piece to it. Just a word of caution though. You may need to put a bucket = in front of the keyboard to collect the drool! ;-) http://www.meteoriteguy.com/collection.htm Cheers, Jeff ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Mike / flattoprocks=20 To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com=20 Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:16 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Collectors and dealers. Hello list, I do not post very often. 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?
