Here we have a rare titanium and iron meteorite that sold for $17,000 from a
seller with 0 feedback. He still has 0 so I'm guessing this was never paid
for.

A newly listed alleged Chebarkul meteorite:

This one was allegedly found in Lake Chebarkul, looks kind of big for
0,213g. The picture can be found at Russian Radio and other websites. I
think it's a picture of one of the first pieces found.

Another from the same seller. The picture was taken from the Mirror News.

If you type in Chelyabinsk meteorite and hit "completed auctions," you can
see numerous items sold as Chebarkul. Too many to list here!
