Agreed. ALH84001 and Apollo moon samples have never been offered 
on the market before.  Supply and demand will dictate the price.  
The supply is low (113 grams), and the demand  would be extremely high.  
It would no doubt set new price records.

Don't forget to factor in about 30 years of inflation.
