I thought this issue was addressed in the past and it was generally thought
that "piggybacking" sales announcements was NOT COOL.

Mike,
I thought the list should have a better understanding of what is
happening with Moss. I would guess that 2 to 3 kg or more will eventually
be sold to collectors. The idea that if one doesn't jump now, one will
never get any, is just wrong--a false impression broadcast on the list to
sell one person's rocks.
I am not going to quibble with your price, Mike. It may well be good.
I too have a lot of money in this--it seems much more than you do. Of
course I am interested in protecting my investment and recovering my money
too.
I appreciate your descriptions of the hunt and the other information
you
have provided. I wish I could have been there.

That is quite rude Eric, trying to steal my customers for a new meteorite
sale when I just returned after spending over $5000 getting it. You don't
have it now, don't even know when you are getting it, and you jump in
trying
to squash my sales. I have never done such a thing to you, why do it to
me?

I will have some Moss too -- but probably not until around the end of the
month. I expect that collectors will be able to get pieces for some time.

Ok, today was a rough day with paying bills, taking
care of the usual things after a 3 week absence, and
trying to collect my precious cargo from Sweden
without success!
I will focus on selling some of the Moss meteorite
tomorrow. I must recover some of the nearly $7000 I
spent on the trip to Norway and Sweden. Anyone who
thinks meteorite hunting is cheap needs to try it
sometime!
I will prefer to do private sales as I have too many
small pieces to photograph and put on the website as I
normally do. I know from the response to my emails
over the last couple of weeks I will have most of the
material sold rapidly. I have too many emails from the
trip to go through quickly, so Anyone wanting a piece
needs to email me ASAP with the amount they want to
spend and I can try to accommodate them.
I will offer it for $200.00 per gram. I have many
pieces with fusion crust, but that will run out fast,
so if you want crust, I need to know like now.
Anyone who thinks this is a high price needs to think
again. I have already sold my largest piece for that
amount, and Bob Haag and I had lunch today and he also
wont sell for less as he bought his pieces.
There are only 5 witnessed falls of CO3 meteorites in
the world, Moss if confirmed as a CO3 will make that
#6.
So here we go, let the sales begin!
Moss Norway, fell July 14th, 2006 at ~10:15 am in the
Ostfold region including the towns of Rygge and Moss.
So far, just over 3 kilograms known. 50% of this is
already in Museum hands and totally out of the running
for sales. After a month of searching by over 20 meteorite
hunters and dealers, I highly doubt that much more
will be recovered if any at all.

By the way, I will build a great webpage with photos
as soon as my film arrives from Sweden.
