Hello All and Dirk,
I would like to reply to this one.
First of all, "YES" we have to be concerned what is sold on
ebay. MW sold to the Public hurts not only you, but anyone trying to make
a repetition as a honest Dealer, a flood on the market of bad sells with
MW could do serious damage to the many Dealers selling on ebay.
What's not sold on ebay is up to the Dealers as to what and how much
they want to release.
" Let the buyer beware" I don't think so!. You said " Part of any
hobby is education " this is why ALL of
you on the list and Dirk, Must combine your
stored-up information with this needed Education. This Information
should be as full as it can, let's call it a "Beginners Kit to
Understanding Meteorites Information Kit".
This "Kit" ,must contain Basic ID,Pictures,MW, Equipment, places to
search, Ball Park Prices and what they MIGHT go up to and
Links. YOU on the list who are willing to
take time out of your every day toils to do this,are helping your
potential/new "CUSTOMERS" .
Stop leaving them out there to wander alone through the darkness, for
an Educated Buyer is a confidant person willing to spend MONEY, because he
feels good about himself and what he is about to partake in and does not
keep on saying to himself and (others) should I or shouldn't I
?.
"Let the buyer take the responsibility" I don't think so !.
You want to Win something ?. The persons who put this together and
those of you who put it up as a Link, are going to be the
Winners !
Thank you for your time in reading this, Chuck Jenkins

[meteorite-list] why worry?
Dear List Members, Why do we even have to concern
ourselves as to what is or isn't sold on ebay? Let the buyer beware!
Part of any hobby is education. Call it tuition if someone buys a MW.
Did someone teach you what to buy or not? Or did you, as many, take a
risk and buy something without not knowing 100%? We don't have to be
the Holdens of the world. Let the buyer take the responsibility. I step
back now. Sincerely, Dirk
Ross......IMCA......Tokyo
