[meteorite-list] Ebay Oddities

[Joshua Tree Earth & Space Museum]

Here we have a rare titanium and iron meteorite that sold for $17,000 from a 
seller with 0 feedback. He still has 0 so I'm guessing this was never paid 
for.

A newly listed alleged Chebarkul meteorite:

This one was allegedly found in Lake Chebarkul, looks kind of big for 
0,213g. The picture can be found at Russian Radio and other websites. I 
think it's a picture of one of the first pieces found.

Another from the same seller. The picture was taken from the Mirror News.

Another newly listed one:

If you type in Chelyabinsk meteorite and hit "completed auctions," you can 
see numerous items sold as Chebarkul. Too many to list here!
