Hello Michael, Darryl and List,

I agree with Darryl on this issue 100%! This very same subject comes up
every year right after the Tucson Show. Should, or should not, the Blood
auction results be published on the Internet in one form or another. I do
not remember if they have been in the past or not. If they are posted
without any disclaimer that the prices realized are "Wholesale, and NOT to
be considered Retail", then there is a huge problem which I could only guess
would result in fewer entries in future auctions. I believe Michael will do
the right thing by the sellers and make this statement Loud & Clear in
print, no matter what type on publication he may make.

Best Regards,
Greg

Michael,

Please do consider not publicly posting the auction results---or if you are
intent to do so, I urge you to consider making it absolutely clear the
auction occurs at a wholesale marketplace and the prices attained reflect
the same.

The last thing needed is more confusion for the growing legion of new buyers
who are exasperated in their efforts to navigate the murky waters of
meteorite valuation.


Thank you for your consideration. All the best / Darryl
