I should have noted that although I am not a "dealer" per say, my website still needs quite an update/redesign, ect. regardless.
Dealers who did not produce their own website most likely don't have the capability to update it each time a specimen sells. Furthermore, each individual update made costs money, paid to the individual or company hired out to maintain the website for them.

I do not know of any other market that does this; it is unique to meteorites in my experiences. As a collector/prospective buyer I do not see the upside to this practice. It does nothing for helping me find what I'm looking for; in fact it is counter productive when I am shopping for a specimen as it makes it more difficult to see what is actually available for sale. It's synonymous with looking for clothes in your size and every store has displays showing your size but not actually selling any clothes that fit you. Maybe a separate page for "Sold Specimens" would be more appropriate if there was a need that I am not aware of to display pieces that have already been sold? I look forward to becoming educated on this matter. Regards, Michael in so.
