Pel� Pierre-Marie said, "why don't we create a catalog of meteorites with official rates (like you can find for stamps or coins) ?"
�I am in favor of a modified version of this, It's a great idea and it works for other hobbies such as Coins, Stamps, Tokens and a bunch of others. And I am not. There is only one authority to determine the price of a meteorite: the market. Nobody else should be allow to do it. If I see something for a price that I like I will buy it. If I sell something it all depends on if the buyer likes the price or not. Take this for an example: A says the price for El Hammami should be 40c a gram. B says it should be $1. Who's right? And what about the quality of the piece? Who will take it into account? And how? And what about size? True: some items are sold too cheap and others bought for insane prices. But if you want to determine the "value" of an item, the internet is a good source. It's work, yes, but it pays. So I am all against "regulating" the prices of meteorites.
