Hello All,

My first batch of meteorites in my "First Steve Arnold's Famous Ebay
Discount Marathon" mostly sold out on Ebay a few weeks ago, and so I have decided to
do it again. But this time I am going to do it with more of an assortment
of smaller priced items, so more people can participate.

I will be adding more items over the next few days and will be trying to
drop the prices by 10% every 24 hours or so.

Again, I get a whopping 75% discount on the seller fees if you go to Ebay
and buy from this link here:

http://stores.ebay.com/Steve-Arnold-Meteorites?refid=store

Please book mark the above URL, then go there to look.

If you get to my page via first going to another Ebay page, I DO NOT get the
 discount. At up to 12% selling fees, that can be substantial. Keeping
this affordable (even though time consuming on my end) will help me to keep
doing this more in the future.

Thanks for all the support on the first "Discount Marathon" last month, and
best of luck this time around.

I will also be adding some items on the normal ebay auctions, so keep an eye
open for those.

I also found my lost stash of Monahans 1998 crumbs the other day. I don't
have many, but I have made some photo copies of the cover of the People
Magazine that ran the story and the inside story with the autographs of all the
"Monahans 7" on the photo.

I have decided to sell a limited number of those each with a Monahans 1998
crumb.

It is hard to believe that it was 10 years ago this next Sunday when the
Monahans City Council decided to give the boys their rock back. I had the joy
of working with the families to help them get the meteorite wrestled back from
the city and then to broker the sale for them. I still laugh when I
remember the one City Councilman angrily calling me a "used rock salesman" from his
elevated perch at the Council meeting. I thought about putting that title on
a business card, but figured no one would get the joke.

Part of my deal with the kids was to get a few grams of material, most all
of which I sold out of shortly after the sale of the main mass.

I have a small number of crumbs from 2mg up to 6mg in size. I consider
these pieces historical type specimens, that should not really to be priced by
the size or the weight. Michael Blood bought up most of the other left over
ones I had in the past, and I am not sure if he is sold out of them yet.
Other than that, I am not sure one can find them anywhere else.

I don't have a microscope, so some of these might have the famous purple
salt crystals still on them. If so, then there is a chance there is some of the
ultra rare extraterrestrial water still trapped in them.

The first buyers will get the biggest crumbs available on a first come first
served basis

Price: $39 each. Paypal works. If you want to send me a check, let me know
so I can hold the biggest crumb back for you.

Thanks,
