Well, a short comment from the deep woods from the North...;-
For me, as living in Finland (think we have 2 or 3 more serious
collectors here) eBay is a great way to purache meteorites, and
I suppose, the situation is same also in many other countries far
away from Tucson.
In fact it makes possible to get fresh items nearly in "real-time",
if I remeber, I recived my Park Forest pieces not more than a
week after the fall. eBay is also a great forum to find the more
recent and interresting ones without checking hundred of pages.
It´s highly appreciated, we have sellers, who are willing to share
the new founds as fast as possible.
I also belive, all of this will bring several new collectors to the
community in long run, and this is a great thing for the collecting
and, I belive, also for the business. eBay is also many times the
first forum to get serious dealers and collectors connected and this
makes possible the 1 to 1 deals later.
All my experiences on eBay has been just positive this far, and I
belive, they will be that also in the future, so not a bad word from
me about this system. And after all, it´s a great fun too...;-
take care,
pekka

Hello Adam and list, I love ebay. It is way to hard to shop for meteorites
finding & comparing prices web site to web site. From what I have seen, most
web sites sell meteorites at higher prices than ebays prices. I once won a
51g Oriented SA on ebay for $8.00, And an NWA 869 at 7 cents a gram, if any
dealers can beat that price, please let me know! I know everyone who buys on
ebay can tell of even better deals than that!
Thanks, Tom
