I bought a 1 pound Nantan that was 1/2 metal and 1/2 shale for $16 at
the Denver show three years ago. Is that a market cross section?

Hi Bob,
I found your comment interesting because in reading the post
to which you were referring, I saw it more as a discussion about
the cost / value of large NanTans with only a back door invitation
to anyone interested as opposed to an ad.
I have wondered, myself about the "market value" of all-metal
(as opposed to the earlier shale balls) Nan-Tans. I know at least
2 dealers who claim to sell LARGE Nan-Tans at substantial prices
(between the prices brought by New Campos and Gibeon irons),
but I have never seen a buyer spend $ anywhere close to that - except
in the two ebay ads Bob provided..... yet he seemed to be complaining
about what I considered to be very substantial prices - ie $59/LB and
$76/LB respectively - yet, he seemed to be complaining about this being
a "low" price.
I have 3 of these pieces in my auction (from 6.5LB to like 34 LB -
see Lots 91, 92 & 93) with no minimum and will be very interested to see
what they bring. I certainly can't imagine being "disappointed" if they
brought between $59 and $76 per LB!
So, other than comments about whether or not Bill's post was an
ad or not, does anyone else have experience with the sale price of all
metal Nan-Tans??? I think it is a fascinating subject - I just have never
heard anything on it other than a couple of dealers who claim to get
very high prices and several collectors who claim they aren't even
worth $10/lb (this second price seems to be based on the old shale balls
what wholesaled at Denver and Tucson for the several years when they
were available - I haven't seen any for several years, now however) - those
price differences are HUGE discrepancies, so, any others on the list have
experiences with all metal Nan-Tan prices???
Best wishes, Michael

Please include AD as the first word in your subject line when posting business

Subject: [meteorite-list] On the price of Huge size Nantan Iron-Nickel
meteorites, Need advices
Hi list,
Recently, i've collected several pieces of Nantan
meteorites, totally weighted 40 Kg or so. Most of
these rocks are huge, except for two small pieces.
I've sold the two small pieces at rather low price on
Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330049246339
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330051868673
Now, the weight of Nantans at my hand are more than 1
kg and the largest is 6 kg around. However, i don't
dare to sell them on Ebay again because the prices for
huge size Nantan are uncertain in my mind. I searched
them by Google, but the results showed the prices
fixed by other dealers being various from 0.15 USD to
2 USD per gram.
So, my question is:
what's a reasonable price for huge size Nantans
weighted more than 1 kg, especially more than 4 Kg?
Any suguestion will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, if there are Nantan collectors here, who
would be willing to buy them on a wholesale price
basis or part of them, please contact me off-list if
you wish.
Regards
Bob
