Ebay. I had been buying fossils on Ebay for years and, one day, started wondering what other weird things were sold on there. Meteorites popped into my head, and I looked and found them. I thought that my first meteorite purchases were in 2002, and the purchases start showing up there-- heres the SECOND one: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Good news! Zag Meteorite, Unusal H3-6 Regolith Breccia (Item #2133904892) ended successfully! From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 20:32:17 PDT Congratulations darren_garrison! The following eBay item was purchased instantly using Buy It Now. Item Name: Zag Meteorite, Unusal H3-6 Regolith Breccia Item Number: #2133904892 Item Price: $5.99 Quantity: 1 But then again, the first one that shows up in my archives is from 1998-- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: henbury meteorite From: Michael Farmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 06:55:38 -0700 You have won the 3.5 gram henbury meteorite on ebay. The total with shipping is $10.99. Please email me your address. Please send check or money order to me at But I don't remember buying anything that far back-- I still have that Henbury (shale) piece, but I must have bought it as a "one off" weird item and didn't think about it again until 2002. Unless the e-mail was dated incorrectly? Mike, were you selling meteorites on Ebay in 1998? ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
