Hello Steven, Matteo and list, Matteo....good luck, Brad promised me a refund over a year ago on some very late and very poorly shipped meteorites that arrived smashed up. I have yet to receive any refund and recieved almost the same response as Matteo from my inquiries. List members may also remember Brad e-mailed the list saying he couldn't find my address or e-mail and once again promised the refund...seems to be a common problem of his.
Look through the archives and you can find several other Sampson complaints. These actions by Sampson have only hurt himself. For example I collect Kansas meteorites. Had Sampson been honest and straight with me in our earlier transaction I would have bought the complete mass of Lost Creek at $5.00 a gram and would have thought I came out like a bandit. Instead what did you get out of it Brad? $2.00 a gram? I don't know but it was sold low enough to be resold for under $3.00 a gram at a profit. Not sure if the IMCA does come in play here however, as Brad does sell real meteorites.
