This is true that meteorites might be low priority during hard times, however,
a tangible asset is any object which can be held, enjoyed, and money can buy. I

wad of cash, not something you can look at and wonder abo

Reminds me of an article on the stock market from yesterday:
I don't see meteorites as a tangible asset. Tangible of course. Asset, iffy.

people that place a great esoteric value in them. That number dwindles when

It is interesting what Mike has to say. I for one, am not a dealer, but a
collector and I try to pick up larger specimens, they have become fewer and
fewer. I'm not interested in the smaller micro / macro pieces, but more on
the substantial side as long as the price is within reason.
Hello all
I upgraded my collection piece today so I am willing to drop the price on
this one to $1580
Have a look around, you'll find it to be the best price on the web, couldn't
get any for less than $10 in Tucson last year.

My take.
Prices are up, business is way up for me, this has been my best year yet. I
disagree on the planetary material, my prices have been up and sales
increasing. Supply is down, rare stuff (NON-NWA) is scarce, and you are right,
we are hoarding stuff. My safe is full of fl

Hello List, Al and Mike(s),
Excellent market analysis, Mike (Bandli). I agree with most of it.
Personally I believe that the planetary meteorites will keep on losing their
value (except maybe some exceptional falls) as they become less and less of a

immediate effect on the meteorite market. My observation has been that
historical and older witnessed falls continue to rise and sell quickly
(especially from the Old-World). More and more rare/historical falls are
