Hi Steve, I think you may have a point. However, in this case Michael is correct.
This is what happens when you're heading out the door for Tucson to hand deliver meteorites and decide to quickly list some specimens on eBay by using an old listing. It's usually done very quickly and can be a great time saver - simply click on sell similar- and just change the photos and the weight. In this case I didn't proof read the ad. I just returned home and corrected the problem.
