If one will have to pay for classification, I can't see any new advantage for a dealer at all, as at other institutions they get the classification for free or, if they don't want to wait many months or a year, they already do have a place, where it can be done in a few weeks for a fee - and for a collector, who wants to get his NWA or Franconia classified, it would be a worsening. Hence just another place for classification and not a new link between researchers and dealers? But let's wait, what Killgore will hopefully tell us. Buckleboo!

And that from now on, if someone wants to have classified his/her meteorite in only a few weeks, it will be for free. That's an improvement." During Killgore's talk at the Micheal Blood auction, he mentioned there would be "classification opportunities." So after the talk, I asked Dante and Marvin, "What does "classification opportunities mean?" >From their answer, to get meteorites classified through the center, you will have to join a subscription like service. That you would pay a certain fee and it would allow you to get so many stones classified. Numbers were not worked out at the time.
