Greetings Pierre and all,
        Pierre, I was concerned about your comment of hoping
The new owner is not a meteorite dealer who would benefit
>From the web site personally in any way.
        Being a dealer puts one in a position to contribute to the
meteoritic community and not just be some kind of blood sucking
leach!
        In fact, most of the dealers I know are major contributors to the
community & some are truly outstanding in giving of their time & energy,
Such as Anne Black, Adam Hupe - all the dealers who have served
On the IMCA board (that is a LOT of work, folks), Paul Harris & Jim
Tobin (Meteorite Times, Most of their Meteorite Exchange web
Site), etc, etc.
        Of course there are many pure collectors who have also contributed
plenty. The point is, any conscientious individual would be fine (I have
No personal interest, myself). Just because someone makes money dealing
meteorites does not mean they can't serve the meteoritic community as well.
Most dealers do - some more than others. ALL of them have to make
Money, as well, but these two things are in no way in conflict, even
Though a few dealers have made their own beds that way.
        Best wishes to all, Michael
