Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
Pete, I would guess low cause it seems that SNC meteorites tend to be low in weight, but again its an NWA and it seems more and more always shows up some how.

From all the reports I have been made aware of, this fall has already handily exceeded the weight of Shergotty (5Kg) and is quickly approaching that of Zagami (18Kg). The single largest piece I have heard of weighs ~1,500 grams with two others weighing ~900 grams each. It will be interesting to see the final figures. There should be plenty to go around, a collectors dream! I can hardly wait to get my hands on a massive chunk.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
The larger stones Adam just mentioned were part of the first ~5 kilograms recovered and, to my knowledge, none in that size range has been recovered since. The total known weight is currently 10-11 kilograms. Before Luc announced the fall, it was at 5-6 kilograms.

because of my first eBay auction ever?! ;-) Seriously, this is obviously a spectacular meteorite which is worth far more than the current prices at which it has been available both here and in Morocco.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
Hi Darryl, I have sold valuable items on eBay but never meteorites so I don't blame you for removing the auction. Too bad though. I was looking forward to bid. I am always nervous too when I do a no reserve auction. You have to have a pretty strong stomach to stick it out to the end but the rewards are high traffic and usually the correct fair market value. Unless of course what you are selling is available in abundance. In which case yours wasn't so you would probably have gotten around the $1k per gram as suggested IMO.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
As you have pieces at http://www.rocksfromspace.org/MARS.html of around 1g for $500 or $600 then it will be interesting to watch thismany on ebay will not know about those and thus it may make the $1000/g or more.but the pieces on the website will certainly be a bargain then and shouldn't be around for longwill be very interesting to see what the price will settle at for this amazing fall Good luck Darryl.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
It will be noteworthy to see how this great Martian fall pans out. This time, I am relaxing on the sidelines and watching from afar. There are plenty of dealers willing to part with some right now for those who like to be among the first to own some. I may decide to get involved if the price stabilizes before the Tucson show where I fully expect to see a huge amount of it. The marketing posturing seems subdued or at least delegated to the background for now. Perhaps it will explode onto the market by the time the Tucson show rolls around. Personally, I am hoping that a price war breaks out so that I can add a giant piece of Tata (b) or whatever they may name it to my collection for a reasonable price.
