Darryl makes a monumental point. While, as someone who couldn't attend the
auction, I originally asked the List if there was any way to know the
final-sales-prices of the auction, hoping I could find them somewhere....Now
I suggest that Michael, Capt. Blood, makes them available only off-list by
request to avoid publication in a rogue journal or hyped newspaper/journal
adventure bent on achieving TV ratings....somehow for those of us who still
don't know (I listened to the whole Ruben-feed but didn't take notes).
I know that there will be a bunch of posts about this (no pun intended to
our most respected meteoriticist, TB )...
Kevin K, what do you think?
Respect intended,
Richard Montgomery

Michael,
Please do consider not publicly posting the auction results---or if you are
intent to do so, I urge you to consider making it absolutely clear the
auction occurs at a wholesale marketplace and the prices attained reflect
the same.
The last thing needed is more confusion for the growing legion of new buyers
who are exasperated in their efforts to navigate the murky waters of
meteorite valuation.
Thank you for your consideration. All the best / Darryl
