During these times of bust-me meteorite prices, maybe the secret wink should go to those who would store some away for a few years while the market is as it is. Surely in a couple of years the prices will be back up to reflect the true rarity of meteorites.

Foodsaver.....pulls about 14" Hg. Bags are made by 3M and are a laminate of polyester and UHMW. No vapor moisture transmission. Hence a very good way to store your meteorite - but displaying is for the birds.

Hello list,
I was just sitting down eating breakfast and my wife was watching an infomercial on a product that is called " Foodsaver ". The product is used with thick plastic bags. The way it works is, the machine vacuums out all of the air and the food is sealed air tight in a 3 layer plastic bag. Of course I thought, this has to be the ultimate way to protect meteorites from moisture. Sure, it wouldn't be an appealing way to display meteorites. But, like myself Im sure many collectors have numerous meteorites just stored away in plastic containers.
I was wondering if anyone uses this machine currently to store meteorites. I would like to see how effective it is. Im sure its available on ebay listed under the name : Foodsaver Bob Evans
