I offered some privately to several repeat customers for $1.85g, to my knowledge i never offered it for that price publicly. I posted it publicly on the Meteorite list along with Eric Olsen for $3.50g. The piece i put on Ebay was 455g, not 700g. I opened the bidding for $1g. The description was accurate. You bid on it then backed out with a lame excuse. I sold it to someone else who was very happy with it. Your loss their gain.
