Hi, 'Supply and demand', that's what determines prices, there is a lot more material around, these days, just look at the number of people selling stuff.
Having said that I have noticed that there are less and less larger specimens around, everything seems to get cut these days!

Look at the Hupes - they still get good prices for their material. Most people on the net or ebay sell meteorites like, well, rocks. Believe in their value and their beauty, communicate their value and beauty, and you will get better prices. Amen.

I have never seen this to be true. In fact, it appears to me that sales and interest has done nothing but increase.....and at a really amazing pace. As we continue to increase the inflow of meteorites, it makes it harder and harder to get a large piece of everything, but I do not think that means things are not selling or the market has crashed. And to show this I present some of my website stats. Which show a general interest in meteorites is up almost 50%. While this does not mean sales are up 50%, the two factors are very closely related. The following is a list of different visitors, per a month, to my website, www.meteoritearticles.com. This is not page hits or visits a month, which are both larger numbers. Such information is usually kept private but I think some of you will find it of interest.
