Hello All, Seems to me that using website prices isn't too good of an idea. After all, meteorites are only worth what people are willing to pay for them -- they have no practical value or set price. In fact, they're really just collectors' items now (they do have some scientific value but I know for a fact that most of you collectors and dealers aren't in it for the science). Website prices merely reflect the opinions of a few select individuals trying to make a profit -- if you really take website prices seriously we should all be paying $1.50 - $6 per gram for Sikhote Alin. I've never paid that in my six years collecting...and hope never never to for a Sikhote... Ebay is the one true place left where the buyers set the price, therefor, it should give a good estimate of the current market value of meteorites. If people are only willing to pay $500 per gram for that stone (on ebay), guess what -- it's probably worth only that. Regards, Jason
