There is no need for value added middlemen anymore since the distribution model is Finder to Moroccan Dealer in Eurfud? directly to Collector.? No need for classifications when they can let a little bit of a new find out and borrow (steal) the nomenclature and classification from somebody who follows the rules. This is a collectors dream as far as pricing goes unless they want legitimate nomenclature and classifications. Thankfully, There are no pairing issues in artifacts, the direction I am heading. I will remain a meteorite collector but the days of hunting are soon coming to an end thanks to a few people.

I bought a large amount of this meteorite at a high price, sent multiple samples to be classified, including to NASA for organics work, and before I arrived back home from a trip I see both other dealers and Moroccans dumping it at less than my cost. If you are buying from people who did not submit specimens for classification, you are possibly and probably getting scammed. Am I the only one sick of being undercut by the same people in Morocco that sell to me? What is the purpose of helping these people get classifications just so they can instantly stab you in the back and dump more material at prices cheaper than they sold to you. In matching their prices, I am now losing money. It is easy for the lazy dealer to grab some material and piggyback other people's work to rapidly sell out without putting their own money at risk. It has become a very common game and we all lose for it. Sick of the Moroccan/Nigerian scam model of take the money and run laughing to the bank.
