All,

There is a misrepresentation in a current ad running on eBay for
"Warrenton,Missouri/Large micro meteorite", item number 290023409215; seller
illinoismeteorites - Steve (Chicago) Arnold.

To quote from the ad... "The TKW is 45.4 kilo's,but there has never been any
forsale."

While specimens of this particular meteorite are not frequently sold, there
are a number of documented instances where specimens have been made
available for sale or auctionm thus making the above statement a falsehood.

I call upon Steve (Chicago) Arnold to remedy this misrepresentation in his
eBay ad.

Dave
