Hi, I don't understand your intemperance. The suggestion that auctions are inherently scams is bewildering. There are deals to be found at auctions....and objects zealously fought over; an auction house merely makes the market.
Please also consider it was the traditional auctions in the mid-90s that resulted in an avalanche of media that created a burst of interest in meteorites---which was among the catalysts to a new generation of hunters. As I said previously, Allende was an anomaly.
