Hi Mike and all,

I like the text and I'm happy about every new meteorite buyer!
Without a lot more new buyers we can't avoid that the prices of the
hundreds of "extremely rare"
and "scientific important" meteorites that are listed on ebay week
after week after week "are in ruin";-)!

Cheers, Peter
