Hi,

'Supply and demand', that's what determines prices, there is a lot more material around, these days, just look at the number of people selling stuff.

Having said that I have noticed that there are less and less larger specimens around, everything seems to get cut these days!

I think these low prices are partly because people don't know how to
sell.

Look at the Hupes - they still get good prices for their material.

Most people on the net or ebay sell meteorites like, well, rocks.
Believe in their value and their beauty, communicate their value and
beauty, and you will get better prices. Amen.

Bernhard

InLast Year

Hello List,

"The Meteorite Market is Crashing!", "The Meteorite Market Has Crashed
the
Last Two Years!", "Things Are Not Selling", "The Market is Ruin".....it
seems a common theme or underlined theme in the meteorite community. I
have
never seen this to be true. In fact, it appears to me that sales and
interest has done nothing but increase.....and at a really amazing pace.

As we continue to increase the inflow of meteorites, it makes it harder
and
harder to get a large piece of everything, but I do not think that means

things are not selling or the market has crashed. And to show this I
present
some of my website stats. Which show a general interest in meteorites
is up
almost 50%. While this does not mean sales are up 50%, the two factors
are
very closely related.

The following is a list of different visitors, per a month, to my
website,
www.meteoritearticles.com. This is not page hits or visits a month,
which
are both larger numbers. Such information is usually kept private but I

think some of you will find it of interest.
