John/list,
At the risk of sounding naive, why /wouldn't/ you pay for professional
classification? If Bessey's fee of around $80 is typical (and I admit,
I don't know if that's the case), why would you risk lost samples or
interminable delays? Why not just add an extra buck/gramme to the sale
price?
I guess what I'm asking is, what's the non-financial reason for lodging
with a non-fee-charging establishment? Do 'professional' labs only
validate a limited range of types (eg - Bathurst don't do irons)? Do you
have no say over where the type specimen gets lodged?

I suppose the only solution is to pay for the classification services
so true "professionals" will be handling your specimen. Please don't
misunderstand my use of the word "professional." I'm talking about
scientists who are also business professionals.
