Ah... I see you've chosen to apply the "monkey see, monkey do" approach to pricing meteorites, Ruben. An approach guaranteed to yield maximal profits for the time being.

Unfortunately the analogy does not entirely apply because specimens locked up in university collections often can be traded for. I've had some success at this lately myself, and knock on wood, maybe in the near future.

Well, hold a piece of Creston for me while I put my first born up for sale... ;-)

(Just poking... You know I dig your ebay sales. :-D )

Cheers,
John
