Hello Listers and Ryan
Sorry to come back to "Chicago Steve" thread...
Ryan, I can't more agree with your post !
I am new to the list, but it didn't take me long (without looking at
archives) to
be cautious with Chicago Steve (Steve # 1...? well...)
His fake AD wasn't just bad taste but simply under the belt, outrageous !
+ I was one of the idiots to waste time sending him an off-list email to try
to soothe his pains and sorrows !
even ready to buy a $50 meteorite for helping him... stupid naive me... glad
I didn't...
Result ? same blunt 3 words answer with a mistake in pricing reminding me
our off-list
email exchanges about some Sikhote Alin a month ago... Chicago Steve needing
3 emails
to figure out what photo referred to what grams and subsequently what
price... I gave up
No matter what happens to him on the list or otherwise, I will NEVER buy
from him
All the best
Michael B, France

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 1974 (..and false claim)
So you posted a fake AD, claiming that bills were piling up, you were out
of work, and that your relationship with your wife was becoming unstable.
You then posted a sales AD (and page) with things that you simply no
longer wanted for your collection anymore, marked the prices down a couple
of times, and stated that this was the end of the road for you on the met
list. You probably received a handful of sympathetic emails in regards to
your post, and now you say that it was an early April fools joke? Further
more, I inquired about your 50g Berduc off-list, and the price that you
quoted me ($1270) was marked up more than 100% from the price that was
posted just a couple of days ago on on your sales page!
Don't you think that maybe all of this was in poor taste, especially with
the jobless rate at an all time high, and the economy at an all time low
in years? I simply see it as a tacky, tasteless scheme.
Wondering, with regards...
Ryan
"Hi again list,and no ad.I see there is only 398 grams of NWA 1794.But I

day.APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!I am going no where.Have a great day and keep
finding our passion."
