Tom,
Hard to say... the seller could not tell me if the item
was attracted to a magnet. This auction is limited to
Australia. The seller and bidder are in Australia.

The Great British Meteorite Hunt ended with
over 1,000 suspect meteorite reports being
 submitted. Of 100 checked, only one real meteorite
was found in the lot:

Since then end of the Hunt an increased
number of wrongs have been showing up in the UK.
(Hmmmm:>) The following auction :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2294138814
was one in which the seller was caught
shill bidding their wrong and kicked off ebay.

Perhaps a possible scenario. Then again, perhaps not.
Best,
Ken
