[meteorite-list] Market report: NWA 801

[Bernhard \"Rendelius\" Rems]

Hi there,   I have watched the sales of many meteorites for the last two months on ebay, and from time to time I would like to post, with general consensus on that, of course, my results here. To show you what to expect, I have analyzed the sales of NWA 801 over the last 8 weeks and will post my results here. Befores someone runs havoc again: this data is not compiled to break your privacy, but to HELP you to plan your sales.   There have been 16 sales of NWA 801 from 5 sellers over the last 7-8 weeks I am aware of (I think I have got them all). 9 were successful, 7 were not. The interesting thing is that sales with more than 4.3 grams aren’t successful at all. This might be because their starting bids are above what the customer pays for NWA 801 without a higher starting bid (with one exception).   The average price with successful NWA 801 sales is $ 12.42. People paid between $ 7.42 and $ 22 per gram. App. 21g were sold, 73g weren’t.   Regards, Bernhard
