Steve even a monkey would understand the difference between a minted
coin with numbers stamped on and a plastic box with handwritten paper.
By the way we many thousands for each limited edition coin. So yes no
one would deny that the meteorite is not worth anything to speak of
but the work in making the coin cost plenty.
We sell enogh of them that is for sure.

Damn, can't believe I didn't think of that first. I have thousands of
Allende fragments, (I used to buy kilos of them from the Mexicans
direct until
they ran out) I could really ramp up the gimmicks to try and squeeze
another buck or two out of the buyer using their own stupidity
against them.
I am sure though, when they go to sell their box later that anyone
with
brains will say, hmmmm .35 gram fragment of Allende retails for
about $3.00,
so I offer you $1.00 and not "wow", this is a limited edition
plastic box so
let's call it $30.00.

Mike,
Here is an idea for you, and you can have this idea all for
yourself, I
won't tell anyone else about it. Just between you and me (and the
12 people
who read the List, but I am sure they won't tell anyone either.)
Mint up some token/coins. Then glue some meteorites on them that are
worth about $0.02 each. Stamp #4 of 45 on the back of them and
sell them for
$30.00.
I know, at first you might think that anyone so stupid to do
something
like selling a coin worth maybe $1 for $30 would only get people
laughing at
them. And while I am sure you would think that would be a slimy
"Billy
Mays" thing to do, maybe you should try it. I am sure no one will
laugh at you
if you at least tried it.
But, if you do something like that, be careful and not mention it
on the
meteorite list, as there are some people on there that would attack
you and
tell you it is stupid and that you are just trying to rip people
off, and
they would try to get everyone else not to buy them.
