The Meteorite is real. That’s not a problem. The problem it that there are 1000 people brokering it, none of whom own it or have ever even seen it. It sits in Algeria pretty much untouchable. I am a serious buyer but the games being played with it make it a scam. When I see it delivered to my house in Tucson I’ll know it’s really for sale.
