Re: [meteorite-list] another ebay giggle
Hello, Al and the list, this is the first time, I have seen this kind of story about a meteorite. In gems these are much more common. The best known case is the Hope diamond, and also this story can be told in many ways...;- The first link is for the people with more imagination, the second for the more sceptic ones...;- http://groups.msn.com/TheParanormalConspiracy/hopediamond.msnw http://www.si.edu/resource/faq/nmnh/hope.htm Hope has been in Smitshonian since 1962 and I haven´t heard about bigger catastrophes happened in the institute...;- take care, pekka almitt wrote: Hi Steve, I think there is a certain type of people who like to buy something to just prove it can't happen to them or fascination of such objects that are cursed. I can't for the life of me think why a meteorite would be cursed even if it did fall on a horse or some other animal. The New Concord Meteorite is also alleged to have hit a horse with no ill consequences that I know of yet. I also think there are people who buy this material so they can contain it. There have been several people on the radio recently with similar stories and I can't help believe that it is some sort of gimmick to get people to buy these items. In the radio show they were selling also. Why not give it away? The guy said he had to sell it so the ownership would be transferred. He was selling for more than a dollar though :-) --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list -- Pekka Savolainen Jokiharjuntie 4 FIN-71330 Rasala FINLAND + 358 400 818 912 Group Home Page: http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/eurocoin Group Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] another ebay giggle
If this thing is cursed like he says, why in the world did this relic have a RESERVE PRICE on it? I'd want it out of my hands so fast it would make your head swim. I guess a good story is part of salesmanship; I do note he says 'no returns'. "Arrr, mateys, the gold be CURSED!"
