Hello
Friends everyone buy what he want and what he can pay. Bingol is great fresh
meteorite with excellent crust. For sure worth to buy. But as history show,
in a few months there will be another super cool new fall, maybe diogenite
and what will happend with Bingol ? It will be forgotten. Like first Chellys
sold for hundreds per gram it turned to 5/g now. Same with Tissint and may
other. Mike make great sales becouse everyone is crazy on Bingol now. When
something new will fall, marker crazynes will go to the new material.

You didn't buy that Chelyabinsk from me, I never sold for that price. And
I'm sorry, but a 10,000 ton impactor flooded the market with more material
than the market could consume. Classic supply and demand. Don't worry
about it. Since you were able to take advantage of Steve's imbecile
behavior of selling Bingol at 1/3 of what he paid me, or not, don't know
if he cancelled that deal, if so you got a good price. If not, then go buy
NWA chondrites, they're nice and cheap.

Chelyabinsk was an extraordinary event too. I spent 50$/g on my first
specimens of it and now they sell for 5$/g from IMCA sellers on the good
old fashioned irrelevent Ebay. ;-)
Extraordinary event or no, that doesn't mean a piece of Bingol sold for
150$/g today won't show up on Ebay a year from now for less than half
that price.
G'night all. Have fun collecting. :-)

I'm simply shocked at the seeming lack of knowledge I'm seeing lately.
Between the people who still think eBay is relevant to the fact that a
Howardite fall seems blasé compared to incredible Morasko. I am
flabbergasted that the new collectors/dealers see clueless as to exactly
what an extraordinary even this was. I didn't just go to a damned war
zone lightly. But it's a chance of a lifetime so I took the risks. Not
alone I might add. But hey, don't worry, some campitos are up for grabs
tonight on eBay:)
Sorry guys, not at all impugning small collectors. I spent the time to
package and ship $20 orders from Europe! In one box a $20 piece, the
next box a $20,000 piece. Sounds to me like I take care of my customers,
down to the smallest order.

Michael,
Seriously! John is a collector and enthusiastic about meteorites. Maybe
you have bought and sold $150k of Bingol, but that doesn't give you the
right to insult people. Why not keep your personal business dealings to
yourself? You work hard for your living, you may even be the top
grossing dealer on this planet, but no need to tell everyone. You have
a great reputation until you say things like this. There is room for
all kinds of collectors and, dare I say, even dealers. I personally
felt John's comments engendered some great discussions and provided
unique insights likely shared by others. Clearly, based on my own
response, I did not agree with John, but I never felt the need to
insult him.
Oh well, to each his own.

Who is this? A new dealer?
Comparing a howardite fall to Morasko? A frigging rotten old iron that
can be found by the ton? Identical to campo? Please, these people need
to go find a meteorite Walmart. Leave the actual good stuff to the
professionals?
I've already bought and sold more than $150,000 in Bingöl. And eBay is
not the place it sells.
Good luck guys. Bottom feeders.

Hi John,
I completely understand what you mean, as I have made a great living
selling meteorites of all types over the last 18 years.
However, history has proven that while most meteorites do go up in
value over time - rare witnessed falls almost always appreciate in
value dramatically.
Which explains why so many collectors moving to collecting only falls
now days.

Ruben,
For 450$ you can get a 3g piece of Bingol (that you need a loop to
really enjoy) or you can get a 177g etched slice of Morasko that
looks phenomenal in your collection.
Added to this, that Bingol piece really isn't any harder to find for
the buyer than Morasko, and in the long run will probably be worth
50-75% of what you pay now.
Howardite fall or not, the price is more than I'm willing to pay.
My opinion atleast.
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
It's a howarite fall.....
In my opinion it's probably about once in 20-30 year type thing.
Expensive? Yes, but I think not over priced - at least not for what
it is.
Other achondrite falls like Passamonte - $1000 per gram

I may be crucified for saying this, but it's a little bit
ridiculous...
So many specimens and demanding so high a price... Just feels
ridiculous.
Anyhow... Enjoy the specimens!

Meteorite Fall Over Eastern Turkish Village: Poor Villagers Make
Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars After Black Stones From Space
Rain Down
"When a meteor exploded over a village in eastern Turkey in
September,
residents were frightened by the sound and the illuminated sky. In
the
weeks that followed, they started picking up small bits of black
rock,
but considered them insignificant. Then, with the visit of an
academic
from a university in Istanbul, they learned the tiny stones they’d
been finding scattered across their land were a financial godsend.
Last week alone, collectors from Germany and the U.S. spent some
$200,000 on the meteorites, according to Mehmet Nezir Ergün, one
of the
villagers. “I hope everyone finds some. Poor people are always
looking
for pieces. They need them more than we do,” Ergün told the Doğan
News Agency, according to Today's Zaman."
