[meteorite-list] The Global Meteorite Price Report - 2015 available NOW! (ad)
Team Meteorite: The bi-annual edition of The Global Meteorite Price Report - 2015 is now available. Purchasers will receive it as a pdf file attached to an email. I've been selling this report on the meteorite-list and on eBay since 2004 because I knew it would be helpful to collectors. It is the only source in the world of retail meteorite 'price discovery'. It is good to know what your meteorites are 'worth' or what new ones might cost. This edition has been expanded to cover dealer prices for 264 meteorites and their permutations. Expanded from the last edition, there are now 52 'generic classifications' so you'll know What does a typical NWA monomict-eucrite cost? The report begins with a description of the methodology I used in interpreting the information. The data is now professionally presented on an Excel spread sheet. You will find prices for some meteorites beginning in 2005, even more meteorite prices for 2007, even more for 2008, 2010, 2012 and then the 316 items surveyed for this year. Many meteorites have pricing for most or all of these years making trend spotting easy. No stone (or Iron) was left un-turned :) The 'State of the Market' considers whether meteorite collecting is a fading fad. I review the results of a survey sent to several International dealers to gauge their confidence in the future of our hobby. The long-term impact of NWA's is revealed. Next, we go to the Campo del Cielo strewn field where questions about the origins of 'New Campos' and another possible pretender are entertained. My take on The Collapse of Lunar and Mars Meteorite Prices is certain to be controversial. For those unaware that there never was a dog left like ashes in a moment by the Mars Nakhla meteorite fall, the truth will set you free. I warn of certain (cheap) numbered and nameless NWA's having the potential of being sold as certain (expensive) historic meteorites. The 'Meteorite Price Analysis' completes the report, parsing price movement and availability of the most important meteorites in all classifications. But the report is not just words and numbers, it's dense with photos of people we know, places we wish we could visit, and meteorites. Totaling 33 pages- by far the biggest edition yet- this price report will enlighten, entertain, and likely save you a lot of money on your next meteorite purchase. It might be useful in determining insurance coverage for your collection (ask your agent). Dealers can check their sales prices against their competitors. Researchers and museum met curators can follow market trends. I haven't raised the price of this report for years and I hope you will agree that it remains a bargain at $15. I offer this work because I think it is good for you... for everyone... not just dealers, to know the current market prices of different meteorites along with which direction they are going. I asked a dear friend, the former editor/publisher/founder of Meteorite! magazine to take a look at this report to save me from my errors and omissions. He did so, adding Well done – it’s a real contribution to the meteorite scene. - Dr. Joel Schiff Please visit Paypal.com, use my name to reach my account and deposit $15. I will have the report on its way to you in 24 hours. Collecting meteorites is the greatest hobby and I am proud to contribute. Thank you for your support of this project.

Petersen visited the places and the eyewitnesses and delved into their stories, expanding her photographic observations with found documents and interviews.

Yes Paul, It was announced yesterday, and here it is again, see below. Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com impact...@aol.com -Original Message- From: Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com To: meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sun, Dec 21, 2014 10:59 am Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Price Report I seem to remember a contest involving this report and the price in 1 years time for Chelyabinsk. What ever happened to that? Did I miss the outcome? If so please let me know. _paul G -- Team Meteorite: Almost two years ago I solicited you to guess the average retail price for the then-new Chelyabinsk LL5 fall, as calculated for my next 'The Global Meteorite Price Report - 2015'. The report will be available momentarily, but We have a winner. I calculate that the average dealer sale price for average specimens of Chelyabinsk is $24.85/gm based on eight dealer websites as of mid-November, 2014. Both Larry Adkins and Linda Barany guessed $30, and those guessing lower than $24.85 weren't closer. So we had to go to the tie-breaker! Larry predicted that there would be twelve dealers and Linda hoped for twenty-five. Congratulations, Larry. Your copies of the pdf price report, which I will offer world-wide either tomorrow or Saturday, along with an electronic pdf - file copy of my book The Art of Collecting Meteorites will be on its way to you attached to separate emails no later than Sunday night. And Larry, if you have a 'hard copy' already, send me someone else's email address and I will send the eBook to them in your name as a gift. Thanks to all that entered. There is a little more joyful back-story about the Chelyabinsk contest entrees in the upcoming report, which has been expanded to pricing out 264 meteorites and 52 generic classifications for a total of 316 sampling points. At 33 pages, by far the biggest 'issue' yet, it will enlighten, entertain, and likely save you money on your next meteorite purchase. It is full of photos of people, places and meteorites :) I've added essays on the Campo del Cielo strewn field questioning the origins of 'new Campos' and am including a chapter dedicated only to Mars and Lunar price trends. I have also included warnings about certain common NWA's being sold as certain (expensive) historic meteorites. Unlike the stock exchange, or Blue Books for cars or price sheets for stamps or coins, there is nothing published anywhere showing current or historic prices for meteorites - except for this report, which I've done every two years since 2004, maintaining the same statistical methodology, actually refining it over the years. I hope you will agree that it is a bargain at $15. I think it is good for everyone, not just dealers, to know the current market prices of different meteorites, along with where they have been and in which direction they are going. You will be surprised.

[meteorite-list] Hijacked journal list 2014, first edition, June 2014
Yes, it is a familiar theme these days. It seems that many have lost their moral compasses when it comes to respecting other's property, whether it be intellectual or otherwise. These unscrupulous leeches have a sense of entitlement. When they are confronted, they blame the creators/owners of not protecting themselves, therefore it is their fault. They think because they put out the effort to steal that they are somehow justified in their actions. This is one of the reasons I no longer deal meteorites on a regular bases. I have been burned too many times, especially when it comes to money and plagiarism. A seemingly honest person can go awry when money is involved forgetting contractual obligations and promises. It is not only limited to publications and meteorites. I am dealing with a corporation that thought it would be alright to divert a creek from my private ranch to a reservoir since the creek empties out below the reservoir instead of behind it. My property sits around 200 feet above the reservoir so they installed a dam and a 2,000 foot plus canal on my property without an easement or permission. They are diverting 8 cfs or over 3,500 acre-feet (billions of gallons) of water from my property which is completely surrounded by over 20,000 acres of BLM land. I simply want the corporation to restore the creek to its natural course and remove the ugly 2,000 foot scar from my property. I purchased the property because of its beauty and having the 3,000 foot plus creek front reduced to 1,000 feet is unacceptable. to me. They diverted this water to behind their reservoir so they could charge for it even though it meant molesting my private property. They feel that they are putting the water to better use so disrespecting my private property rights must be alright. This new entitlement attitude and it is alright to steal from others is detrimental all the way around. It destroys creativity and punishes those willing to put out the effort.
