Hi Gang,

Last week, I announced that a friend of mine is getting married and
needs to sell off part of his collection to help fund the wedding. I
received a few offers on the entire lot, but nothing materialized, so
now we are breaking up the collection into smaller lots. I will try
to sell these lots first. If you are interested in individual pieces
without buying the entire lot, contact me and make an offer - although
I will give priority to buyers who take entire lots.

FWIW, I am making almost nothing from this sale. This is not helping
me out, nor am I making a big finder's fee or percentage. Almost all
of the funds from this collection sale will go towards my friend's
wedding. He is a Marine who just got done serving multiple tours in
Iraq and Afghanistan - so let's help this guy have a proper wedding by
buying up these meteorites! :)

The specimens are listed below. These are not listed on my website
yet, so if you are interested, please contact me via email -
meteoritemike at gmail.com

I will provide photos of any specimen on request. Note, the asking
prices for the collection lots include free domestic Priority shipping
with signature confirmation. Overseas shipping may be extra,
depending on the weight of the lot and destination country. Lots over
$100 that are sent overseas will be sent by Registered Mail, which
incurs an $11 service charge which I must pass along to the buyer.

Before I get to the collection list, here are a couple of links to
some very fresh Katol specimens. These were gathered before the rains
and show no oxidation. One piece has crust. These are on the website
and you can use coupon code "metlist" at checkout for 20% off your
order.
