I have to say it seems real. I had just asked Rob off list about micros of Hambleton, and to my shock he replied he was out of the meteorite business, that someone had bought out his entire stock and he was retiring. If this is a joke, it seems a pretty elaborate one; if Rob is staying on as a dealer, telling your customers that you are out of business is a really weird advertising ploy.Tracy Latimer> From: info at mcomemeteorite.it> To: gsac at gmx.net; Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 16:49:27 +0100> Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: Rob Elliott retiring as seller (?!)> > from what I have seen its all real> > Matteo> > ----- Original Message -----> Da : "Alexander Seidel" <gsac at gmx.net>> A : Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Oggetto : [meteorite-list] Fwd: Rob Elliott retiring as> seller (?!)> Data : Wed, 04 Apr 2007 17:42:51 +0200> > > A dear meteorite friend of mine just suggested sort of an> > "April 1st joke" to me, regarding this message.
