But as for the auctions goes, I dont see how the final prices can reflect the meteorite market value, prices go up and down and auction prices cant gauge the real market value of any given meteorite. Also, Jason made a great post about the value of meteorites and what collectors look for in determining value, so I think that is also something good to think about.

He said about all that needs said. One thing I dont understand is why the auction was considered a wholesale event, I never understood it to be as such - no more then ebay auctions and from what I have read, some prices were just as above "market" as others were under.
