Hello Everyone!

Thank you to those of you who replied both publicly and privately.
Your feedback confirmed the problems I saw with trying to implement
this idea which is why I asked for your feedback.

Thank you for keeping the rocks small! :-)

Hello Everyone!

One of our beta testers asked if we could do something to filter out the
junk ebay auctions. Here is one idea.

If all the meteorite-lists "Sellers" added the same code (example
"ML1947") in the title of all their auctions then all of the "Buyers"
could search using that code and eliminate the junk. On our page
visitors would have a choice of "All ebay Sellers" or "Meteorite-List
Sellers" and would not have to remember any code.

I don't know if there is enough interest to warrant the extra step all
the sellers would have to do. If anybody feels strongly one way or
another please discuss. If the list is in favor of this, I suggest we
Not take up list bandwidth discussing what the code should be. We should
let a few of the major players choose what works best for them.

I have my helmet on so throw away :-)
