Dear List,

I'm a meteorite collector since 1991, and have personally witnessed the start of the flood of Saharan meteorites. I think all these - also rare - Saharan meteorites becoming available for us collectors, was/is very possitive.

Collecting is investing. Every collector wants to see the value of his collection stay sable at the least. So I very much want to believe recent mails stating the value of meteorites are on the rise again.

However. The ebay auction referred to below is my latest experience of the contrary. This is just one example. This really good meteorite didn't sell at a starting price of only $0.22/gram (or approx. Euro 0.14/gram). Especially for Euro countries this is a bottom price (or even lower). Or am I mistaken in stating this?

Just my thoughts,
Regards,
Rob Lenssen

Dear List,

For those of you interested in a large Saharan meteorite with really good crust, have a look at my auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sahara99704-2-3kg-brecciated-chondrite_W0QQitemZ280208468832QQihZ018QQcategoryZ3239QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Bidding for this 2.3kg meteorite starts at $499. This only $0.22/gram (or approx. Euro 0.14/gram).

For a higher-than-ebay resolution image see: http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/Sahara99704.jpg

Thanks,
Rob Lenssen
