I would appreciate your thoughts on this. For a long time, when I

Norm, I prefer the asking price be left--we understand that some deals are made
to special clients but the world need not know the specifics that is why we call
it an asking price. I think that is a good compromise between removing it
immediately and leaving it up for the time you have a particular meteorite in
inventory. Future resale is in most --but not all cases more than a week from
purchase to resale. I can't see how the asking price being listed on the
website would influence a short term sale anyway.
