Hi All,

As promised, I told you guys that I was helping my friend raise some
money, and she is doing that by selling off her most prized meteorite
possessions.
I told her that I would sell them for her on my Ebay account. I hope
that I don't disappoint.
She has trusted me to sell them anyway I see fit, but she paid a
fortune for the Krinov books, and the LARGE Libyan Desert Glass piece
that I have up this week.
I told her that if we sold the Krinov collection for 0.99 starting bid
with not reserve we would be alright, so wish me luck that it actually
fetches what we all know it is worth,
Otherwise, I could easily be sorry! (fingers crossed).

So here is the auction for this really cool collection, it is the book
"Giant Meteorites" by E.L. Krinov and the winner of that auction gets
3 old vintage Sky and Telescope magazines that all have really really
interesting articles about the Sikhote-Alin meteorite fall, and two of
those magazines are articles by Krinov as well.

so, you can bid your little heart out for that here:

She has also trusted me to sell her LARGEST and GREENEST Libyan Desert
Glass piece in her whole collection here:
