Everyone in the meteorite community wants...no, make that "demands" that all dealers to be fair and honest - after all, wasn't that one of the reasons that the IMCA was formed? It will be interesting to see if the IMCA follows Ebays lead and removes the dishonest dealer/collector from among it's ranks.
I'm certain that many list members will be watching the outcome of this issue.

Hi Thomas and List,
I must say, I am appalled.
I agree with Thomas. Personal attacks are one thing, but this amounts to outright fraud, which is something every meteorite collector and dealer shoud be concerned with. Unless we all own or have access to electron microprobes and such equipment (and know how to use them and interpret the results), we are all dependent upon the trustworthy character and reputation of the person from whom we buy or trade meteorites.
Best wishes,

Marc and list,
Mike may get a little too passionate sometimes but I believe he was giving us some important information that we needed to know. When something like this happens the meteorite community should have the knowledge for their protection, whoever the involved individuals are.
My best,
Thomas
