Mike, FYI, these are all listed at $0.99 on Ebay, not at $30.00 If anyone wants to pay more for any of these, they can offer more. It is their choice. I am sure, if you have your way as a very influential person in the meteorite world, you will discourage EVERYONE from bidding on these, and they will all just sell for $0.99 each, or maybe not even get any bids. Personally, my goal is that each one sells for at least $2.25 so I can prove to you that my promotional efforts are worth more than the $1.00 that you said it was only worth. You don't know how much pleasure this brings me that just the announcement tweaks you so much Mike? Thanks. It is all worth it now, even if they all only sell for only $1.05 each. By all means Mike, offer some of your own meteorite inventory in limited quantities and see if you can get more for them. Anyone can buy the plastic cases, but if you don't like the idea, fine, just use a cardboard box and an paper ID card. I have a hunch people might like them in plastic cases and in limited editions. It has been done before in other fields of collectibles, why not with meteorites? Maybe no one will like them. Maybe some people will. We will see. Of course I could take some meteorites to China and have figurines caved out of them, or have them made into jewelry, but I am trying this method to reach out to new collectors to see how it goes.
