[meteorite-list] AD-Large (?) Rare Specimens-Still No Reserves!

I consider anything over 200 milligrams (1 carat) large for planetary material,
some with a Total Known Weight of only 26 or 42 grams as is the case with a few
pieces. A 388 milligram specimen is almost 2 carats. I don't see anybody
listing 2 carat diamonds starting at just 99 cents and this material is millions
of times rarer.

I am not trying to mislead anybody. These are very large specimens for most
collectors and will not disappear into thin air if one sneezes. I do not see
anybody else listing pieces this large without protecting them with some kind of
reserves.

I guess it is just a matter of perspective.

Best Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

When I saw your post for "Large" rare specimens starting at 99 cents, and no
reserves, I was starting to get excited, my mouth salivating at the
possibilities.....


Then I saw that the largest was only 388 milligrams and all the others were even
smaller. Oh Well. Maybe next time.
