Since many years I'm sitting on a slice of Kainsaz, which I want to get move now. Well Kainsaz costed in past on the dealers' pages usually 50-150$/g, until the Russians made a few years ago their new finds. You may will remember how, well shall I say, "optimistically" they overestimated the absorption power of ebay, and cramed the US-ebay in a short period with slices and cuts, so that the price soon dropped to a ridiculous low level - much cheaper than any desert CO3. A certain amount of that Kainsaz-orgy is still up for resale and several dealers webpages, of course cheaper than in the pre-Russian times. The new finds are internally weathered, no surprise after so many time in the ground (remember the "Space van Gogh"-Kainsazes..). My problem is, that my Kainsaz is fresh and unweathered. It would be inaquedate to offer it at the price of the weathered one - on the other hand, if I take a higher price, the collectors will moan about me to be an extortioner, so my question: What would be a reasonable price for fresh Kainsaz??
