Greg, Mike, List,

I looked at the bidding record for this whatever and the half dozen participants in the auction ALL have hundreds of purchases of ..not just bid on, but won...meteorites and tektites. Lotta gamblers out there.

I've already burnt a loaf a bread trying to get an image of Obama...contrast problem...:)

>> Hello-
>> Not sure if any of you were following (or possibly won) this ebay auction:
>>
>> http://cgi.ebay.com/Unclassified-meteorite-242-2-g-Salt-Fork-State-Park_W0QQitemZ320404111590QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9992c0e6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
>>
>> I was very surprised to see it sold for $33 (started at $9.99)
>> after (5) bids. I have to admit I watched it since I live maybe 50
>> miles from where it was found and have been to the area often.
>> I know chances are extremely minimal this is really a meteorite-
>> but somebody is really placing their bets on it. The descriptive
>> paragraph has many errors and assumptions. For a meteorite to survive
>> in Ohio damp ground, yet be found it that condition, would be nearly
>> impossible.
>> I would appreciate other's opinions, and if one of you were the
>> buyer- let us know what you received!
>> Thank You
