Team Meteorite: re: Paypal
I am receiving notes that payments for 'The Global Meteorite Price Report - 2013' made to Paypal searching 'Kevin Kichinka' don't go through. *Please try depositing funds at [email protected] and you will be successful.* And thanks to those already figuring this out. I am sending out both pdf files as fast as I can. re: 'The Art of Collecting Meteorites' - Don Merchant wonders how many copies were ever available, and would like to know their history. With pleasure I will describe this. In December, 2004 I purchased 1,000 paperback copies (I tend to call them 'hard copies' as differentiated from eBooks) from self-publisher Bookmasters in Ohio. Per contract I was liable for paying for 1,100 copies if their printing presses 'forgot' to stop at 1,000. Surprise! I got to pay for the extra 100 copies which was another $1,500. OK. In early 2011 I was running out of copies and realized that I was still selling one copy/week. I didn't have time to do the eBok thing yet. I didn't want to 'leave money on the table' nor did I want to disappoint new collectors, so I ordered up another 100 copies at a much higher per copy rate because of the small order and high shipping to Florida. I had to raise the cover price $5 to cover the difference. I am now down to about one dozen copies, Gary and Blaine, as mentioned, have a few more that they will likely offer at Tucson. As for 'signed and numbered copies', the first large batch - and the first week I offered the book I sold 300 copies- were signed, maybe signed and numbered. After that, I did it only when requested. Then after that, I put 'signed and numbered copies' only on eBay because they bring more $ sometimes. After that, I only offered signed copies on eBay. Now I have a couple left that will be signed for eBay and only #500 left of the numbered books. Next year I will de-activate the book's website as it is not needed for the eBook.. How 'bout that, Don! Thanks to all for your support of this project.
