I would have to agree with you about the termite. How could one prove that the termite died from the meteorite fall? Maybe the termite was so excited about the meteorite landing by it, it died from shock. I am not sure what I would do if a meteorite landed right by me, but I hope I wouldnt die from shock cause of excitement of a meteorite?landing by me. But I guess if I did die, the value would go up and if it some how came in contact with me, the price would be through the roof, or if it was a lunar meteorite :)

Adam,
Forgive me but I had to Google this termite sale to believe it.
All due respect to you Adam I just think this is great.
I was at the auction and I wondered at the time why anyone would pay $70.00 for a dead termite carcass.
Now I know. This poor termite probably never saw it coming? RIP.
No doubt this was found at the scene but if it was killed by the fall then why is it not squished?
Too funny.
If somebody would pay for a "termite found dead" at the scene of a meteorite fall. maybe someone would pay high dollar for Steve's gems from space?
Has the whole world gone NUTS?
Hey, I once sold a cheap African Rhino horn bracelet for $3K on ebay. I don't know why but two people wanted it at the time.
To each his own.
Carl
