Yes, junk, magnifying glasses, acrylic boxes, Omani money (but getting it at 
the exact exchange rate in middle America is probably not possible.), nesting 
boxes, mounting adhesive, and other stuff along with these rocks. If you don’t 
want them, then fine I won’t send you a sample, the rest of my stuff is going 
to the local high school along with some 100g Dhofar (محافطة ظفار) samples.

I realize the person writing under the pseudonym “Tony Balogne” is likely not 
the persons real name. 
Have a great day,
Rob

Your "meteorite junk"? That doesn't inspire confidence in what you are selling:)
I merely pointed out that you were offering currency at a much higher rate than 
it is worth on the official exchange market. 
I was talking to Tony Balogne, not you.
Do you think that is a real person?

Ok, $80. 
As for the rocks from Oman, They are in a box and I can photograph them, but I 
know all you cynics would just bah-humbug the pictures. So I’ll ship a sample 
to anyone that wants a look at what I have in my box. 
 
Michael, Of course you haven’t heard of me, I don’t know you either. I’m not a 
professional meteorite hunter, and I’d guess there are other people on this 
list that aren’t professional meteorite hunters also. I will also go out on a 
limb and say there are MANY meteorite experts who have nothing to do with this 
list. I find many comments on here snarky and unfriendly, chasing away many who 
might be interested in this topic. I plan to unsubscribe and just wanted to 
clear out my meteorite junk before I did.

Tony Balogne.
So who are you? Clearly an alias of someone. I've been dealing meteorites 16 
years and never heard of you. I have kilos now:)

is interested? He does like the oriented stuff you know?

30 Rials is worth $78. Why would anyone pay $100 for $78?
I suggest Steve Arnold of Chicago, he just bought Chelyabinsk on eBay and 
rapidly listed it on eBay way lower than he paid. He specializes in that form 
of self-inflicted stupidity.
He asked me the other day why I would not sell him any Chelyabinsk. Well, now 
he knows why.
