Hello All, I received a fairly quick response from the seller tonight : "Hi, thank you for the information! We will look into it asap and take the appropriate measures! Thank you!" Words are nice, actions are better! I will keep an eye on the listing, it is still active at the moment. If need be I will put a call into ebay.
Mike is right, their list of items for sale is a virtual land mine of questionably documented collectibles. Maybe they are just naïve, but buying something fake on ebay that claims it is real and then reselling bits and pieces of it without proper verification does not make it any more real. It is probably just fortuitous that their current Moon dust offering is derived from a legitimate meteorite kit.

This makes me question the authenticity of everything he offers. Pieces of the Hindenberg? Metal from Apollo 11. Etc. If he's this careless with his meteorite sources, then I wouldn't trust any of it.
