"Now that I'm single" that certainly explains why you're currently so "poor", been there. Only time will help. Good luck.

Charlie,
"They are ONLY rocks, Tom."
Now that I am single, they are the only things that warm at night! Well the
irons are a little cold, but if you heat them first...... : O

They are ONLY rocks, Tom. You can't take them with you even when you can afford only the best, and if you do take them with you, the graverobbers will soon do their thing:-) They are ONLY rocks, the objects of desire. Desire is never satisfied. Get a new rock, enjoy it for a short time, and desire returns. A large or valuable meteorite collection will never be the foundation of true happieness. Desire attaches itself to the objects it desires and demands to be fed still more. Give ebay a break for a spell. Stop looking at meteorites for a spell. What did you do before you discovered it was possible to own meteorites? Did you miss acquiring them when you didn't realize you could acquire them? I stopped buying meteorites a year and a half ago. I don't miss spending money on meteorites at all. I'm a non-collector too. I still enjoy the science. I enjoy seeing beautiful specimens. But I never find myself saying "gee, I wish I could afford that one". I stilled the desire. Of course, I doubt dealers would like it if my philosophy took hold:-)
Charlie
