Hello fellow met-heads and listoids,


This week's offerings are sure to please: http://www.ebay.com/sch/mendyo/m.html

1) Tatahouine: I have an amazing selection of Tatahouine that vary greatly in size, texture and features. For example, there are fine and coarse grained examples, "typical" green and rare black and the rarest of all, one specimen with 100% guaranteed fusion crust (not the chromite that is sometimes confused as crust). The crusted piece is selling far less per gram than a "nice" Chelyabinsk per gram - and will hold its value for far longer. For anyone who doesn't know, Tatahouine is an observed DIO fall.
2) Ash Creek: Super crusted slice that features everything you want in a slice and TWO specimen cards from Meteorite Men's Steve Arnold - one says Ash Creek and once says West, the original name before becoming official.
3) NWA 100: Big hefty and crusted slice of a really early NWA specimen. I have this listed at a price which is hard to beat even compared to UNCLASSIFIED material. Weathering 1, Shock 4 and only 7.14kg TKW - you can't go wrong.
4)Taza: As some of you know, other than being a type collector, I enjoy collecting sculptural and/or highly oriented specimens. I am releasing some Taza specimens from my collection that are real beauts. One looks like a fish and another has a claw and deep regmaglyts.
5) Battle Mountain: There is a great deal of attention on the recent Chelyabinsk fall, but it was not that long ago that another fall occurred called Battle Mountain with a TKW of only 2.9kg. This fall is sure to become an American classic and it is selling at less than Chelyabinsk that has a TKW north of 500kg! Slices and fragments available, and all but one are crusted.
6) Faucett: Great 35g slice with a really old Haag specimen card.
7) Gan-Gan: Spectacular etch on this hefty 204g iron (IVA).

Last week I reported I had rare AML specimens with matching cards - these are all gone!
Maybe not Chelyabinsk, but I do have fully crusted Bassikounou peas wih a beautiful crust. Size ranges from 1g to 9g stones - $6.50/g. Did I mention these are FULLY crusted with primary fusion cust? Shipping is separate and once listed on eBay they be listed at $7.50/g.?

My original listings used to use eBay's Global Shipping program. It only took one auction to figure out that this option is very expensive to my customers and I will never use it again. I unfortunately have one auction where I can't de-select the option because it already has bids. If you win this then do not worry, we will work something out more reasonbale.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you wish to make any offers on my items listed or make offers on eBay.
