By the way, the prices below do not include the 25% buyers premium.

As a general explanation as to likely why some of these have high bids: - The $312k moon pieces seem to have 1 bid but the reserve may not have been met yet. Still, at $175 per gram it may be a good deal if you have the money. - The mask also has 1 bid, probably due to good advertising, although the reserve also is not met. - The Seymchan sphere has over 20 bids!!! People seem to like spheres. - The NWA 725 doesn't have any bids, it's just the asking starting price. -Yinan On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 12:40 PM, Mendy Ouzillou <ouzillou at yahoo.com> wrote: > Lot Number:49049 Current Bid:$312,500 > FROM THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON, THE FOURTH LARGEST PIECE OF THE MOON: > DAR AL GANI (DaG) 1058 End Piece A: 116 x 231 x 35mm (4.5 x 9 x 1.4 > inches) and 1096.47 grams (2.42 > pounds) > End Piece B: 116 x 238 x 23mm (4.5 x 9.33 x 1 inches) and 683.19 grams > (1.50 > pounds) > > Lot Number:49079 Current Bid:$130,000 > GIBEON MASK - AN INCOMPARABLE IRON METEORITE > 9.37 kilograms > > Lot Number:49023 Current Bid:$8,000 > SEYMCHAN SPHERE - PALLASITIC METEORITE FASHIONED INTO PERFECT SPHERE > 548.4 grams > > Lot Number:4905 Current Bid:$9,500 > NWA 725 METEORITE - LARGE COMPLETE SLICE OF VALUABLE WINONAITE > 195.28 grams > > -----Original Message----- > From: Yinan Wang [mailto:veomega at gmail.com] > Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2012 9:26 AM > To: Mendy Ouzillou > Cc: Meteorite List > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Heritage auction > > Yup, should be fun to watch, they stream it live online when it starts. > Which bids are surprising? > > Also fun to watch (slightly off topic): > The Red Bull Stratos skydive happening right now and streaming live! > Watch as they attempt a 23 mile sky dive! > http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/ > > -Yinan > > > On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 12:19 PM, Mendy Ouzillou <ouzillou at yahoo.com> wrote: >> Anyone following the auction? >> >> The live bidding does not start until 2:30 pm Central Time today, but >> some of the proxy/internet bids so far are REALLY surprising! >> >> Mendy >> >> >> >> ______________________________________________ >> >> Visit the Archives at >> http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html >> Meteorite-list mailing list >> Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com >> http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > Received on Sun 14 Oct 2012 01:06:41 PM PDT |
