Little addendum:

in remembering the prices from past days, we always forget about the
inflation.
I just found that nice tool:
http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

According this calculator, USA had an inflation of roughly 50% from 1990 to
2005.
And 150% from 1980 to 2005.

Sniff, I paid 2$/g 1986 for Chinga at Carion. Would be 3.50$/g today...
Uuuh, Buehler asked 8 years ago 7.43$/g for the first Udei Stations!
Would be now: 8.7$/g.

Hey, we have a slice left: 5.5$/g + 3$ ship.

Buckleboo!
Martin

Don,

Perhaps some people remember that Murchison typically sold for $30-40/g
a dozen years ago and refuse to see the justification for such high
pricing today, while others newer to the scene are content to buy high.
