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.
