Hey Dave and All,

Great story, and thanks for sharing. I have to chime in here in saluting Blaine as well.

If it were not for Blaine I would not be here today. For my first six years in the meteorite business, I had only one customer...Blaine Reed.

In a world where everyone tries to "buy low and sell high" Blaine always asked not "How little do I have to pay Steve to get this next meteorite?" But rather he would see how much he could pay me each and every time.

Blaine bought 100% of all the rocks I pulled out of the field my first 6 years.

Sometimes checks would show up in the mail unexpected from Blaine. I would call to ask why? He would reply with something like: "The Richfield I bought from you a year ago turned out to be an LL3 instead of an L4 so this is extra money to make it fair."

Those kind of checks happened a LOT more times than just once.

I just want everyone to know, not just on the selling side of things (as in Dave's case) is Blaine more than fair, but he is that way on his buying side of things as well.

The Meteorite world is a far better place because of Blaine.

If you are buying or selling, you owe it to yourself to check out the offer Blaine is able to make you.

Hi List,

Just wanted to send a quick note of admiration regarding Blaine Reed, who
most of you surely know by now. Follow this link, click "Featured," then
click "Deport" and read the brief Remarks:
http://www.fallingrocks.com/collection.htm Such a pleasure to do business
with dealers who do the right thing...even when they don't have to.

Oh, and a special thank you to my good friend Sean Murray, who recently made
my posting site a much more pleasant place to surf...much appreciated!

All the best,
