Hi Matt and list,
I made a mistake, my thoughts were on two different expeditions at different times. I went to Kenya with Dave Marsocci and Morocco with Jason Phillips, both of who are excellent travel partners.
Best regards,
Greg Hupe

Hi Matt,
Good expansion on the desert talk. But, the flood will never be the same as the Sahara. I and Jason Phillips went to a remote desert in Kenya in Feb./Mar. 2003 after much research and expense to come home with no meteorites, but a heck of a lot of fun and experience. Jason is a go-getter if ever there was ( he accompanied me a separate trip, also last year, to Morocco).
There is no worry a vast amount of meteorites to be found, but the "collecting" zone such as the hot desert of the Sahara and the cold desert of Antarctica are limited and will end very soon. There are so many teams and individuals hunting these regions that it is a matter of time. Like in Oman, the tracks are clearly laid out, every square inch is being searched.
Let the winds expose a lunar for you,
Greg

All of this is interesting, but not one person has yet to mention all the
other deserts on this planet that will yield meteorites, and lots of em.
There are more Morocco's waiting to happen folks! The supply from the Hot
Deserts may be dwindling, but as more and more nomads in other countries
become educated and see $, the flood will come again.

And Bernhard, as always, I answer:
For a serious dealer it does not pays off on the long run to praise stinky Campos or boring W4 desert H5s like the Star of India. Experienced collectors don't appreciate such exaggerations and the beginners will soon find out the overstatements.
Meteorite market is not Fish Market. Martin
You don't get my point, Martin. It's not praising stinky Campos or "boring" W4 desert H5's (BTW, the attitude that desert H5's are boring is something I fully reject), it's about transporting the magic of meteorites in your text, telling people more than just "I sell a Campo". Give them background information, tell them that Campos tend to rust, but tell them also the history of this find. Tell them how they can take care of their pieces, and why even a "stinky Campo" is a piece of extraterrestrial matter that is something special.
You don't have to exaggerate to sell. You just have to show that you appreciate what you are selling.
Bernhard
