Hi Listees and fellow meteorite fans!

A recent turn of events has set me back some cash that I can ill-afford
at this time. A vicious thunderstorm rolled through my area two days
ago. Lightning bolts were dancing all over the place - as if Zeus himself
was angry. (I didn't find any "thunderstones" afterwards!)

One of these lightning bolts struck our utility pole and fried our phone
line, DSL line, DSL modem, wireless router and my Ethernet card. Just
today, I have everything back up and running with replacement equipment.

I won't go into my whole woe-and-sorrow story, so suffice to say, I need
to recoup the money this act of nature has set me back.

I won't offer any meteorites for sale to this list because my prices are
too high and I cannot compete with the other dealers in this respect.

But I am offering something I hate to sell, but I have to right now - my
books and magazines.

Here is what I am offering :

1) Meteorite Magazines - August 2006, Feb 2008, May 2008, August 2008.

2) MAPS Journal (published by the Meteoritical Society) - Jan/Feb 2008,
July 2008, September 2007 supplement (Ernst Chladni & the origins of
modern meteorite research)

3) National Geographic Sept. 1986 - Invaders from Outer Space issue with
an extensive article on meteorites with many color photos.

4) Sky & Telescope magazine June 1978 - article about the Jilin fall.

5) Sky & Telescope magazine May 1975 - article about the Henbury craters

6) Sky & Telescope magazine Feb 1967 - article about Mundrabilla and it
has a photo of the largest Australian meteorite on the cover.

7) Out of the Sky - an Introduction to Meteoritics (Nininger) - softcover,
overall very good condition with a previous owner's name written on the
cover lightly in pen and a few other minor markings. Dover 1959 edition.

8) Meteorites from A to Z (3rd edition) by Michael and William Jensen.
This is the new edition, signed by the Jensens and it has a couple of minor
pencil marks from me inside. Otherwise near-mint condition.

All of the magazines and journals are in excellent or better condition,
and I can provide photos of the above items on request.

I am open to offers on any or all of the above (no lowball offers please).

PayPal is preferred, so I can get my money quick.

I have over 700+ all positive feedbacks on eBay, AstroMart, and Cloudy
Nights - so have confidence in this deal.

Thanks for looking and clear skies!
