I sent him an email asking who he originally bought the specimen from. Am
curious to see his response.
Had a thought regarding fraudulent sellers on eBay. We should make a list of
these people and make sure they cannot buy specimens from us. Here is my
logic. Seems like some of these scammers buy genuine items to lend
credibility to their other not-so-genuine items listed for sale. I for one
do not want anything I sell to be used as part of someone else's fraudulent
activity. I will start putting a list together and I'll send it out to
everyone who wants it. I will block these eBayers from buying from me.
If you want to be amused by someone completely delusional, read the
description for this "moon" rock. I feel bad for Dr. Korotev for having to
put up with this kind of BS.
