Subject: [meteorite-list] Ad: large one cent ebay sale tonight
I have over 60 meteorites ending tomorrow on ebay, some great items!
Virtually all listed starting at one cent!
200 gram chondrite sphere! This one is worth over $400.00

Michael, is there something I am missing on this piece? Even if the
original chunk of NWA869 weighed 500 grams, and the rest was wasted in
cutting, wouldn't the uncut stone have sold for about $50? I would think
the 'sphering' process wouldn't add more than $75 to $100 at most to the
retail price. Where does the $400 or more 'value' come from? I am sorry if
I am misunderstanding something.
