It sure didn't take him long to respond to Matteo's feedback on ebay. I think its obvious what's going on. He lists a meteorite on ebay, starting @ $1.00 with no min., It doesn't bring the price he thinks it worth, so, he has "e-mail" problems. His feedback speaks for itself. His sales practices suck, and, if i'm not mistaken, I believe he was suspended from ebay for awhile not too long ago.
