Hi Jim,

It's been tried before, most recently Eric W. tried it. (if memory
serves me correctly)

The problem is, many meteorite dealers are very competitive with each
other, and I think if a dealer owns/runs the auction site, some other
dealers will avoid it - no matter who that dealer/owner is.

But I agree that a meteorite auction site (with traffic) would be great. :)

Best regards,

MikeG
