Sorry about the previous post - itchy trigger finger.

I've been doing some similar record keeping for ebay sales and can add this about Chelyabinsk specimens >= 3 grams:

Through the end of March, the average cost per gram, including shipping, was about $35.

This declined steadily. For August sales, the figure is closer to $8.

Cheers
