Subject: Chelyabinsk Sales-- Today versus Yesterday!
Hi List. Just curious and was pondering a question. This in particular to
well known/better known Dealers and regular Sellers of meteorites. It
seems over the last month an increase in Dealers and Sellers (known, or at
least more familiar by names) are selling specimens of Chelyabinsk on eBay
and the List and their Websites. I have noticed a lower price per gram
then what has been seen at least on eBay in previous months. Maybe this
price change is to draw business away from the masses of people that were
buying on eBay due to the media attention of the Chelyabinsk event. Makes
business sense. Anyways...my question is... Did the delay of acquiring
Chelyabinsk specimens so late, compared to the many Russians that were
selling Chelyabinsk fresh specimens with in days of the fall on eBay, hurt
sales or the price per gram for those Dealers and Sellers who are just
advertising now? Seems the early sales by the Russians took in quite a bit
of cash and diluted the market a bit from February until recently when
familiar Dealers/Sellers started posting their Chelyabinsk sales. Just
curious.Any thoughts?
Sincerely
