With the caveat that a crop sensor (APS-C) provides magnification
over the effective full-frame lens rating. So if a lens is 1:1 at
35mm on the Canon APS-C sensor it'll effectively be 1.6:1
I'd rather have less pixel density on the same size sensor (lower
megapixels) to get better low-light

Hello,
I'm selling my Draveil specimen to finance future expeditions.
It fell on july 13, 2011 near Paris (France) and is the only specimen for sale
(except several micromounts I'm selling). It's a H5 chondrite. This fragment
with a cool fresh crust weighs 120.46 grams.
It's a major addition
I've been noteing that on ebay, that the Chalyabinsk offered is alot more rusty
than the material that was recovered right after the fall.
Thanks, Derek.

Yes, months of melting snow and rains tend to oxidize meteorites.
Why do you think I rushed over there in the snow and got all I could?
The pre-melt material is exquisite.
The newly found is still quite nice and some are nearly flawless still, but
many show mild to moderate oxidation.

Hi all. Mike when you went there (Chelyabinsk) did you actually search for
specimens or did you just purchase from people that already had collected
them? Where did all your specimens go? As a regular Buyer from you, was kind

Thank you Jim.
I don't do Ebay either, too many fakes and scams there.
And there is an easy way to find all (or most) of the meteorite
dealers, just go to the Meteorite Exchange: www.Meteorite.com and
you'll find us there. And a whole lot more.
Thank you Paul and Jim.

Hello All,
What Mendy said is correct.
There is a $1 million minimum in online sales in the current draft
(indisputable fact), and some politicians have suggested raising it to
$10 million. In other words, unless you gross over a million dollars
in online sales, you will not have to collect or

Hi list! I seldom post but enjoy all the remarks from the regulars. About the

As a buyer, however, I have at times gotten some incredible deals on ebay on
high quality meteorites from trustworthy sources. To never
Hi all,
I'm not a big buyer by any means but when I do buy on eBay, it's
only from the well known Meteorite list members. KNOW YOUR SELLER.
If shipping is ridiculously priced on eBay I go elsewhere. I also buy
from list member dealers direct when I can. I hope this helps future
buyers.
Hello Jim, Michael,
I'll be frank: I do not believe that the majority of meteorite hunters
and especially locals would have reached out to submit their find data
had not an official/NASA online tally been published.
At the very least, I think we can all agree that you would have

It is great to see that most dealers are doing the right thing by following
protocol to make these pairings official.

Hello Jim, All,
As others have said -- it probably depends on the state. At least
here in CA, paying sales tax is required for only online sales to
buyers within CA. Ebay/Paypal have always enforced those taxes on me
when I've bought things.
Anne has just said something similar about Colorado.
For all of the smack I talk about eBay for sellers, as I buyer, I love
it. Buyers can do no wrong. eBay coddles it's buyers because it's
profit model changed when it acquired PayPal. Prior to the
eBay/PayPal era, eBay tried to compete with PayPal by offering a rival
in-house payment service
Agreed. Having reliable analysis by a reputable lab, to establish a
legitimate pairing via the proper channels is the way to go. It helps
everyone - private and science. :)

Hi Adam and List,
While I do not share 100% Adam's firm stance against taxation by the

citizens of a given state pay in taxes based on revenue generated by

re: Navato, Sutter's Mill...
I feel that the efforts of one individual purposely 'attempted' to drive a
huge wedge between the private sector and the land owners starting at
Sutter's Mill (I was not at Navato to witness first hand this, but read
about it!!). During that meteorite event,

After getting turned down a few times, I started asking a few
questions of the landowners who said they were committed to only
NASA coming onto their land.

I will not argue the point anymore here on the List. It is turning into a
