the auction the day of the auction and cancelling all bids. Or Steve do you
have a very good explanation?
Potential buyers or bidders beware! And whoever purchased the meteorite

Friday morning editorial.
It will be interesting to see how Steve Arnold Chicago responds to
this allegation, that is, if he responds at all. My guess is that
he'll go into hiding for a time and then reappear as if nothing has
happened. But, in all fairness, I'm willing to
I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a dishonest member of

price on it. I wanted that particular piece and contacted him immediately,
saying I would buy it for that price. He told me

No naysayer at all, John. Thanks for your objective and noble statement.

The sellers motive for closing an auction early and canceling all
bids should indeed be taken into account. If the item is broken,
stolen or you find out it does not function properly after you listed
it, then you have a legitimate reason to close an auction early and
cancel bids.

Hello Everyone,
As a follow-up from yesterday's posting about the website Cloudy Nights, I
would like to invite fellow Meteorite Central list members to check out the
Space Rocks forum at Cloudy Nights. Not as an alternative to Meteorite
Central, but simply as a nice place to visit and post.
Hi Walter and List,
I just wanted to comment on a couple of points that Walter raised
about Cloudy Nights.
First, Cloudy Nights (CN) is not a competitor for Art's List. It is
more of an accessory to it, from a meteorite standpoint. CN is a huge
forum system with a daily traffic count that

Since Walter was nice enough to bring up Cloudy Nights, I'd just like to add
that you can browse all the fora on CN without being a member, including
Space Rocks, but you have to be a member to post messages.
And now a word from our sponsor: if you are a Cloudy Nights member (which
