I would like to hear his reply .Lets hope he takes care of this matter. Next time you send a meteorite make sure you get full payment and if they don't like it return the money minus shipping.

I view it is as my duty as an IMCA member and a proactive citizen to warn other meteorite collectors of this person to help them avoid entanglements with this person, thus I post here. I am pursuing other action, both police and court to recover my material. The person I tried to trade with was Bob Evans of Romeoville, IL. Timeline: Aug 5, 2005- I shipped him a 1.44kg quartercut of Wellman(f) for his review. On August 5, 2005 he confirms he received it. At that time Wellman was worth $3/g, thus a $4320 piece. >From August 2005 to January 2006 I was put off several times with excuses about his wife 'stealing' his collection in a marital dispute which included my Wellman (f) piece. He asked me to keep quiet about it. Being sensitive, I did as asked. Febuary 2006- Tucson show. I cornered him at the Tucson show, he agreed to a reasonable trade amout in exchange for the Wellman. Febuary 7, 2006 - The week after the Tucson show ended I got an email from Bob stating he's changed his mind and no deal. But he didn't ship back the Wellman. March to June 2006 - After numerous unanswered emails and phone calls, I sent a certified letter demanding the Wellman's return. There has been no response at all. Yes, I'm aware I was foolish in letting myself be fooled for almost a year. I tend to overly trust the meteorite community in general. Perhaps its a character flaw of mine. -- McCartneyTaylor, IMCA 2760 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.
