how are these people trying to screw buyers and why do they need to be stoped? the auction does say quite clearly that they arent sure what the thing is and that they arent experts. they include a photo that would allow anyone who has more than 5 minutes of experience with meteorites to

I have sent him numerous emails, but no feedback yet. It's been over 3 weeks since the auction. this might seem overly harsh, but I would think that maybe he hasnt left feedback because he thinks you are pestering him on the issue. 'numerous emails' seems to be a bit above and beyond

I fear you have missed my point. just because your emails were friendly doesnt mean that the dealer in question doesnt think of your 'numerous emails' about feedback - even through friendly - arent an annoyance. He may have time to list other ebay auctions but that doesnt mean he gives the

from what i understand this is because of illegal boarder crossings, not because the authorities care about some stones... if stones were comming into morroco from other nations and their export is made illegal they will just travel to another state where the export laws are more lax.

Perhaps MetBull 90 will clarify this but does anyone know anymore about this NWA 1929/2690 paring? the material is likely paired (although it's not OFFICIALLY paired - per Adam's 'rules'), the only issue is that the diffrence between a howardite and a eucrite is a arbitrary deliniation
