Hello All,
Seems to me that using website prices isn't too good of an idea.
After all, meteorites are only worth what people are willing to pay
for them -- they have no practical value or set price. In fact,
they're really just collectors' items now (they do have some
scientific value but I know for a fact that most of you collectors and
dealers aren't in it for the science). Website prices merely reflect
the opinions of a few select individuals trying to make a profit -- if
you really take website prices seriously we should all be paying $1.50
- $6 per gram for Sikhote Alin. I've never paid that in my six years
collecting...and hope never never to for a Sikhote... Ebay is the one
true place left where the buyers set the price, therefor, it should
give a good estimate of the current market value of meteorites. If
people are only willing to pay $500 per gram for that stone (on ebay),
guess what -- it's probably worth only that.
Regards,
Jason
