Geez farmer. you dont like it when people undercut your overpriced
meteorites do you. I remember a time when you were attacking casper because he
used to sell stuff for the going market price and that interfered with your
ability to sucker your customers into charging triple the going rate for the
same material. Even coming up with some lame excuse that your crap was somehow
better than caspers material because you travelled to some faraway land to get
a photo of yourself in a scouts outfit standing next to poor natives like some
sally strutters commercial with a meteorite in your hands. Maybe you should
take some lessons from casper so that you can learn how to offer a fair price
for your meteorites. Your customers might then finally get a true decent deal
for a change instead of paying for your travel stories.
Or maybe you should travel to northen canada again and offer $20 (Canadian)
a gram for tagish lake that other dealers were offering $200 for. And then
blame the canadian meteorite police when you dont get any and at the same time
make the sad discovery that all natives up there dont actually spend all of
their lives sniffing glue but actually are educated enough to know that $200
is more than $20.
Maybe you should have gotten your "investors" to pay for that trip to.
But dont worry. I am sure that you have more customers interested in buying
overpriced meteorites from you. I guess that when casper left the market you
must have figured that that was no other dealers around that was interested in
selling meteorites for less than a 10 to 20 times markup.
Good thing that you got lucky when you bought the lunar with other peoples
money. Otherwise you would be backrupt.

>Dean, wow, you have it all huh? Considering I was there just a
week and a half ago, you can't run your crap by me. Don't you think using the
term "dump" is good for a meteorite that you are admitting is so beautiful and
rare? There WILL be more meteorites coming from that strewnfield. you know
that so stop your lying. You are the most interesting dealer ive seen since
Casper, buy rare meteorites and then "dump" them to make a buck. You admitted
that you would make alot of enemies with your CR2 fiasco, it is working, You
should stick to selling your crappy $250 kilos scraps and quit trying to trash
anything else.

> I am now in amsterdam enjoying guinness in a coffee shop with
internet access and am piling over hundreds of emails many of which concern
the CR2 strewnfield .
>
> I will post photos of the strewnfield, coordinates and other
data in the next day or two. the strewnfield is within a couple miles of
downtown zagora. it is small and very well known. I plan on approaching the
meteoritical society to ask for a real name on it. the locals have throughly
searched over it with sight, magnets and metal detectors. I am told that 3
months ago there were two or three hundred people a day seaching the flat
rocky strewnfield that has no vegetation and is easy to search. it is quite
small to. most people have now gotten discouraged and now only a couple dozen
wemon including small girls search anymore. everybody came up to me when we
entered the strewnfield but there was less than a gram for sale. there will
not be more meteorites coming out of that strenfield. likely no place on earth
has been searched over like that strewnfield has been searched. if there was
300 people in that strewnfield it would be like walking around in a crowded
disco.
>
> it was very hard to buy any. Except for about 250 grams that a
guy who I never got off to a good start has I bought all that there is left in
the zagora area. Likely there is less than a kilo in all of morocco right now
including what is left in the strewnfield although what is left is pretty
minimal.
>
> everybody wanted to much and most of the stuff that I have, I
have on consignment to sell. Everybody figured that getting me to sell it for
them in tucson would get them more cash than selling it outright. I pretty
much have all that is left. I have about a kilo and a half although half is
already spoken for by other dealers so my stuff will quickly dry up and i dont
think that I will ever get more.
>
> I havent paid for my material so I have to dump it and just
take a commission although i plan on keeping some of it. I have spent over
50,000 dollars in the past month getting ready for tucson and getting ebay
stock for afterwards so I have to get rid of this stuff. I can still match my
23.50 a gram price for as long as it lasts for individual specimens. Let me
know what sizes that you want if you want any.
>
> I think that a fair price for this stuff is about seventy five
dollars a gram. After tucson I likely wont be feeling so poor and still feel a
need to dump one of the most significant meteoprites to come out of the sahara
anymore. there is certainly not 2 tons of meteorites in this strewnfield like
there is in allende which still yields six or seven dollars a gram. the
strenfield is very well known also. this is not a meteorite without known
coordinates (although to be honest i cant see a difference anyway but thats
just my opinion). I will post coordinates tomorrow. right now my GPS unit is
on the airplane so I cant check the info that I saved
>
> i will only be back in canada for a day before i go to tucson
so if you want any email the sizes that you want and i will go over what i
have. I prefer paypal payment so that I can get it out monday before i leave
to drive to tucson.
>
> I will have more info and strewnfield photos in the next
couple days and I will then sell it to the list. if you want some get it now
or in tucson. this stuff will not be under 30 dollars forever. I know of a
couple other dealers with quantities so I dont know what they plan on doing
but there is no economic reason for anybody to beat my price here. this one
should have an increase in price. remember this meteorite was 300 dollars in
tucson last year and 200 dollars at the recent denver show.
