Hi Mike and All,

When I built my web site and announced it in December one of my goals was to
try and address this issue in an easy and sensible manner for all concerned.
It is quite a challenge even to update a sold item the minute it is paid for
so no one else asks to purchase the item that had just been sold. Whenever I
offer something new or have a sale I try to make sure I am at my computer
for a few days in order to fill orders and mark the items sold or take them
from the site. I have a database switch where I can show sold items or make
them hidden. Typically I like to show what has sold in the beginning of
something new I offer so everyone, buyers or non-buyers, can see what the
meteorite looks like.

In the meantime, go shopping at Nature's Vault and let me know what you
think:

Best Regards,
Greg

Dear Sellers on the list,

I have been looking to purchase a number of different meteorites, so I have
been going to the webpage links under some of your seller messages. What I
find on some pages are a bunch of items that appear to still be for sale,
but when I go to the meteorite linked page, it says SOLD.
I ask... if you have it listed on one page for sale, then when you go to the
item page it is sold, and you have posted it that way... why keep it on
there?
It makes it more difficult to shop around, and I will probably not shop on
that site any further. I see something that appears to be for sale, and I
think I might want it... only to find out it sold, over and over on that
site.

Okay, I know you are proud of your past finds and sales, but think of the
shopper.... Maybe you should put together an archive section of items
sold....

Just a thought...

Thanks,
Mike
