Hello GregC,
I am currently out of town at the moment so have just read your email
regarding "hype". You point out Jim Strope's "suspension of NWA 998
sales" and then "someone else offering some for sale", me I presume
because I sent an image of Adam and my NWA 998 Main Mass and my email
'joke' of having a few grams of small fragments that the
nanosatellites could chew on and make tiny mole holes in it. I in no
way offered any "For Sale" but was asked privately to sell some "now"
but I refused saying I did NOT want to sell any on an emotionally
motivated purchase from the upcoming NASA announcement. Maybe you can
ask around and find out who if they choose to be known. You should re-
think who you claim is pulling some "hype", do not forget your "King
of Angrites" is a PAIRING to NWA 2999 and is dwarfed by NWA 4931, the
largest of the 2999 group which also has the "King" crystal sizes that
seem to be "hype" by a particular List member. I actually take offense
to your comments made about me and Jim, get a sense of humour and a
check the "hype" comments at the door!
Respectfully,
Greg Hupe

I have to agree, I think sales hype will be the main factor to any
increased prices of Martian meteorites until 100% proof is offered...
an example of sales hype -
Before the NASA announcement was even made, one person stopped
selling a certain martian while another immediately offered some for
sale. Reminds me of the old time sales tactics used to create a
perceived demand, supply shortage and scarcity while a partner
offers to supply those who "missed out" from the other persons
stock. Just using this an an example of how hype can create an
artificial increase in cost with good sales planning from people
working together.
If that time comes that fossils are found in any meteorite, all will
jump up in price and demand I think.

Good point Greg but since the Mars
Rovers haven't found any evidence of
life, it would be hugely coincidental for a meteorite from
there to have any
fossils. If even one meteorite could ever prove to have
fossils, regardless
where it originated, it would revolutionize this hobby /
industry! I would
guess that as soon as one proves to have fossils of life
beyond a shadow of
a doubt, any other secret evidence of ET will rapidly
surface. If that is
what it takes to know for sure ET exists, I hope I find one
soon because I
am extremely anxious to know for sure!

I wonder if this will increase the demand (and value) of
all Martian
Meteorites since they believe possible life is within
multiple Martian
Meteorites. Be interesting to see what happens.
