Aw, c'mon Mike, it's a polymict planetary with diamonds. And for only $152!
LOL, I wonder how much this will go for?

Hi List,

Here is another unfortunate example of an obvious meteorwrong being
offered as a "pallasite".

http://cgi.ebay.com/Meteorite-Must-Sell-Unfortunately-Love-Pallasite-/170668340104?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bca03388

There is so much wrong with this one, that you have to read it for
yourself. Read the silly description, then scroll down and read the
nonsense answer the seller gave to a question.

Seller also states he "would like to have the option to buy it back" LOL

I have several "pallasites" like this laying in my back yard - who
wants to buy one?

Sadly, this lump of crap has several bids and is currently bidding at
$152. What an expensive lesson to learn.

Best regards,

MikeG
