Other thoughts? Not necessary.
The writer hadn't a story, so he wrote a fashionable one, as all are talking of bursting bubbles these days. Don't know, whether one should trust in a Casper as a good analyst...:-) (Isn't that the fellow, who aimed to sell kilo-pieces of Allende at 15$ and NWA-H5s at 1000$/kg recently on ebay?) By the way "a million grams" is a metric ton. Was quite somewhat more during the recent years, but since three, four years the prices are growing again, in the desert sector (and in the classic too). Seems that the scale pan bows slowly again to the demand side. I'm sure, that several of the historic fall&find collectors would be happy to be allowed to pay the prices of the late 1990s again, right, Michael B.? (Hmmmm, whether Michael C. will sell me Zagami at 200$ now? With the money he could pay his debts at Michael F.). Which Michaels will be in Munich?

Anyone know who is David Serchuk? Is he Just some writer who peeked into the meteorite Market long enough to gather a few facts and Then jump to conclusions? While I agree with many of his statements, His "never to return again" hypothesis regarding The height of meteorite prices in the late '90s is not just questionable, but almost certainly wrong. For one, the number of high roller fossil collectors and comic book fanatics may increase Only slowly over time, but meteorite collecting is An arena that could explode to many times its Current level in a relatively short period of time - And the group of collectors today is so extraordinarily Small that it could grow to sever hundreds of times Its size in a sprint of only a few years ...... and then continue to grow. So, his conclusion of prices having peeked to A level never to be seen again is nothing short of absurd. Other thoughts?
