Norbert,
Sellers like this must think that the rest of the world is as ignorant as
they are. I find these auctions amusing but hope that no one is foolish
enough to bid on these imposters. Some might think that a 490g meteorite
is a bargain even if the price goes up to $25 or so. However, before you
bid, take a look at the shipping costs. If its shipped to me (here in the
USA) the cost is $88.00 USD. IF you (Norbert) are the winner of this
auction, the shipping is $82.00. What a scam!

Best,
John Gwilliam
