Hi List,
This is more of a OMG, did you see the prices message, although it
is a subject that affects both meteorite sellers and buyers.
For those not aware, the USPS raised it's prices on Sunday, while
domestically it didn't change by much, internationally it's an insane
price increase:

This is typical of USPS and Government in general. Give absolutely no warning
of impending price or tax increases and make decisions at the last possible

Extreme long shot but hey, that's what meteorites are all about.
Turns out I have a 4 to 6 hour window tomorrow (Tuesday from 2pm on) to visit

So, anyone want to join me?

Last night an old, 2500 kg (~5500 lb!) Soviet satellite fell from orbit
over the eastern US. The resulting fireball traced a path from Ohio all the way
to Georgia, on a north-to-south and slightly westerly path. Eyewitnesses
reported the event over a similarly large area.

A Tucson dealer recently posted an email to the list and on Facebook an
offering of small specimens of NWA 7397. However, backplate.net owns the
