I noticed a lack of nice large unclassified NWA at similar prices to
last year. Similar large stones I paid 15?/g for in the past was
selling for 35? or more. And it wasn't because it was better material -
far from it. Luckily I found what I needed from Comet Shop - thanks
guys. I was getting worried as I needed it for a special project for a
friend.

I agree, it seems like the perfect way to promote the auction.
