Friend Mike and Listees, I've bought two Rolls Royce Spurs, two Lexus 300 series sedans, two Jeep Grand Cherokees, one new Ford Interceptor, one Mazda 6, a Honda 750 Shadow Aero, two hot boats, a Ford tow truck and about $50,000 worth of assorted personal property... and at least $20,000 worth of small meteorites. Since 1999, I have had but one problem purchase. A big concreted Nantan (slag) that I paid less for than what it cost to ship.
My purchases are small potatoes compared to many eBayers on this List. One Listee I know has dealt a seven figure amount in ten years on eBay with less than a handful of bad deals. I agree with your old saying, "Let the buyer beware." I think Ebay is a great way to buy and sell. Why beat up on them? How the hell do they know a meteorwrong from a meteorite.. unless someone tells them? Just where are they wrong in this "Weston" deal? Best to all, Count Deiro IMCA 3536 -----Original Message----- >From: Galactic Stone & Ironworks <[email protected]> >Sent: Nov 18, 2010 1:46 PM >To: JoshuaTreeMuseum <[email protected]> >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] "Weston" on e-bay > >eBay certainly doesn't have the best interest of it's sellers in mind, >and from the looks of this auction (and others like it), they don't >care about their buyers or the integrity of their marketplace either. >Caveat Emptor. > > >On 11/18/10, JoshuaTreeMuseum <[email protected]> wrote: >> This auction just ended, a great price for 72 grams of Weston, (I paid a lot >> more than that for mine!), not so great of a price for botryoidal hematite. >> But seriously, if you're so dumb you don't know that Weston is an H4 and you >> bid on a piece of Weston sold as an iron, I don't really feel that sorry for >> you. >> >> -------------------- >> >> Phil Whitmer >> >> >> >> >> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390261289839&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&autorefresh=true >> >> ______________________________________________ >> Visit the Archives at >> http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html >> Meteorite-list mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list >> > > >-- >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites > >Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com >Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone >News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 >Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone >Meteorite Top List - http://meteorite.gotop100.com >EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >______________________________________________ >Visit the Archives at >http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html >Meteorite-list mailing list >[email protected] >http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
