Re: [meteorite-list] More eBay cancelled auctions
To mention once again: I am fairly sure it is against eBay terms of service to sell an item outside of eBay once listed for the duration of the auction and for an additional 90 days(?)there after. So delisting an item to sell it to someone else outside the ebay system for whatever reason is a violation of a seller's agreement with eBay. Delisting an item because it isn't drawing a high bid is a specific violation as the listing was structured to avoid paying reserve auction fees if no reserve price was imposed.

[meteorite-list] - Calif Fireball 7-8pm local Aug 28
Ahoy there list! Has anybody heard anything further on this one? I've been a bit behind on my list duties and just read about this. I live very close to both Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks (NW of L.A.), but missed seeing this fireball. The inclusion of Stockton seems odd, as it is roughly 300 miles north of here (E of S.F.Bay). I'll have to inquire with all my local contacts to see if anyone saw anything. I'd love to get out in this 110 degree weather, with the Glendale fire smoke drifting around, and start hunting a fresh fall. No joke...I really would! 8^) Linton Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:59:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Mr EMan mstrema...@yahoo.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Calif Fireball 7-8pm local Aug 28 To: metlist meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Message-ID: 167397.8039...@web55204.mail.re4.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have an apparent major fireball sighting Simi Valley/ Thousand Oaks/Stockton Just a heads up.

I saw the ball of light from Stockton. It was in the Southern sky right below the moon. It was a large ball of light and had smoke trailing. It fell straight down then wobbled down even further, seemed like a couple of seconds.

Re: [meteorite-list] More eBay cancelled auctions
I had an issue similar to this recently-- I was looking for a specific computer related book. The book was in it's 4th edition, with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th edition copies all on Ebay with varying prices. Someone had a 3rd edition copy on auction with a 99 cent opening price, but they had a feedback rating of only 3. But figuring everybody had to start some time, I made a bid. The auction continued a few days after my bid (so I wasn't sniping) and nobody else bid at all. The auction closed for 99 cents plus shipping. I paypaled the amount as soon as the auction ended. Within a hour, I get a refund from Paypal, with a message from the seller that she had sold it to someone else off-line. Now, obviously, she had simply not liked the closing price and wanted a do over. If it had been a seriously high-priced item that went for 99 cents, I would probably have let someone off the hook just to be fair. But 99 cents for a used copy of a previous edition of a computer manual is not an unreasonable price, even if it did cost $60 when it was new a few years back. Dishonest tactics over unrealistic expectations on prices for a used item deserve a negative feedback, and got a negative feedback with an explanation why (best as could be done in the 80 character limit.) I then used buy-it-now to pick up a 2nd edition copy of the book for $2.05 with no hassles. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Alien Contact Predicted
Phil, Right pure brain power in the 5th century B.C. Had the Greeks not fallen to the forces of that day, and progressed, I think Mankind would have gone to the moon a thousand years ago. Our species had to have a few hard knocks before we here in America did it. Brain power though, look at Einstein? In his early 20's without any scientific equipment at his disposal he tied together the observations of those that did and came up with the theories of Relativity, and also electromagnetism. Studying his life-- It just blows me away, and demonstrates the power of the human intellect. But the subject at hand... I cannot accept that this Universe in all its vastness has only us here on earth as the only intelligent species. Considering what certain meteorites reveal regarding the universal proliferation of biologic prerequisite compounds, we being the only ones would be nothing less than miraculous. Then again, alien beings might very well be aware of us, and might just eradicate us as a universal nuisance. Did not Steven Hawking give a warning about our desire to contact alien beings? He pointed out that our own history shows what happens when an advanced civilization meets one less advanced.In this regard, how many of you remember that old Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man-- Could very well be the truth. I f you have not seen To Serve Man, it can be viewed on the Internet.

Re: [meteorite-list] WAS Astronomy Art Spacifieds Meteorite Contest Update, RAPIDLY BECOMING SPAM
Eric/All, First, it was a duplicate post. Second, I have to agree with Bob, et al, as these are ADS which are quickly becoming spam if not marked as such. The notion that advertising is free to those listing items is somewhat misleading, as the goal is clearly to drive traffic so you can sell, well, ADS. Nothing wrong with this whatsoever, Eric, but it is what it is so let's call a spade a spade. Third, I really do appreciate your enthusiasm for the field and your entrepreneurship when it comes to trying new things (and really do wish you the best of luck with this advertising site), but I only listed a couple of excess items there to help drive initial traffic (eBay truly is a mess, so anything is worth a try) and don't want any free stuff in return.

[meteorite-list] Could Dogs be trained to recover meteorites?
Hi List, I wonder what triggered Hopper to pick up and move the freshly fallen Ash Creek meteorite. Was it the sound of the meteorites falling to the ground or was it the strange smell that the meteorite produced? Could a dog be trained to aid in recovering meteorites from a fresh fall? What the heck, anything is possible. I decided to give it a try with my own dog. My dog is a 16 month old German Shepherd that is worked on the average of 45 minutes a day in some aspects of his training. The majority of his training is obedience and some scent tracking etc. Once Brix has the scent of the object you can hide it or throw it and he usually finds the object within minutes. The true test would be to arrive on a fresh fall and put his nose to the test (like that's going to happen). The next best thing to use would be meteorites from a fresh fall. The only problem would be the scent from everyone that has held the meteorites. I know what you are thinking, take a couple of Ash Creek meteorites and wash them off with a little detergent and water and place them in the yard. I decided to just wipe the meteorites off and place them in the yard. This sounded like the next best thing to a fresh strewn field. The only problem was that the neighbors cat decided to run across the strewn field at the time of the test. Brix (having all of his training in obedience) decided to chase the cat . Once I finally caught Brix and he was over the excitement of chasing the cat I could retry this theory. The second test went ok, Brix was able to find the meteorites with little difficulty. You have to wonder if Brix was still picking up my scent on the meteorites or my scent walking through the yard. I will keep you posted on the results. P.S. Anyone looking to purchase some slightly used meteorites? Just kidding!

Re: [meteorite-list] Alien Contact Predicted
I think that this has been a interesting topic. Its my thoughts, as I said before that any intelligent life we encounter will actually come to us. I do think that they would be far more advanced and most likely be machine/robot that would actually visit us rather then the actual beings that created them. If they have the ability to create advanced AI and travel space at the speed (as we know it)it would take to reach us, surely we would be far behind them and comperable to the gap between humans and apes. With that in mind, would they really bother to make contact with such a self destructive species like us? Would they even see us as a lifeform worth contacting? Would we remind them of how they were many many years past in their history? Would they have concern over what impact they would have on us and our religous system?

Re: [meteorite-list] Shipping to Italy Question
Hello! About 1year ago the Italian Post had a lot of problems! The italian newspapers have spoken about more than 200ton of mail (also registered and assured mail) blocked for many weeks, beacuse there weren't enough postmen for deliver the post. In that period the internal post and the foreing mail were very very slow...and many package went lost! At now seems all works better... But, as Matteo tell you, at know the Customs are the very big problem. Could happens that the post stops at the customs for more than 2-3weeks and you have to pay more than 25% of fees. Every times I ask to the dealers to indicate on the package something like Rocks sample for study without value and indicate as value 0$ or something just a little more expensive than the shipping cost...10$ or 15$. At now I have had problem just one time, the package was sent back to the dealer. But I never lost anything. The Deutsche Post had lost 1.2g of Mars that I have sold to a German collector Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] Shipping to Italy Question
In all EU-countries you have to pay VAT, if the value of the shipment outside EU is higher than the limit, in Finland some EUR 45.00 = USD 64.00, and that means, the customs stops the shipment and you have to clear it. Given that EU law only requires that the standard VAT rate must be at least 15% (in Finland 22%). Usually Rocks sample for study without value works ok, and you should not have troubles with customs in EU. best, pekka s Francesco Moser kirjoitti: Hello!

Re: [meteorite-list] Could Dogs be trained to recover meteorites?
Hi Sonny, I think it was a German shepherd that found the fence buster meteorite at the Park Forest fall. Don't have the details of that story but you may be on to something here. Cheers, Jim Baxter - Original Message - From: wahlpe...@aol.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:15:06 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [meteorite-list] Could Dogs be trained to recover meteorites? Hi List, I wonder what triggered Hopper to pick up and move the freshly fallen Ash Creek meteorite. Was it the sound of the meteorites falling to the ground or was it the strange smell that the meteorite produced? Could a dog be trained to aid in recovering meteorites from a fresh fall? What the heck, anything is possible. I decided to give it a try with my own dog. My dog is a 16 month old German Shepherd that is worked on the average of 45 minutes a day in some aspects of his training. The majority of his training is obedience and some scent tracking etc. Once Brix has the scent of the object you can hide it or throw it and he usually finds the object within minutes. The true test would be to arrive on a fresh fall and put his nose to the test (like that's going to happen). The next best thing to use would be meteorites from a fresh fall. The only problem would be the scent from everyone that has held the meteorites. I know what you are thinking, take a couple of Ash Creek meteorites and wash them off with a little detergent and water and place them in the yard. I decided to just wipe the meteorites off and place them in the yard. This sounded like the next best thing to a fresh strewn field. The only problem was that the neighbors cat decided to run across the strewn field at the time of the test. Brix (having all of his training in obedience) decided to chase the cat . Once I finally caught Brix and he was over the excitement of chasing the cat I could retry this theory. The second test went ok, Brix was able to find the meteorites with little difficulty. You have to wonder if Brix was still picking up my scent on the meteorites or my scent walking through the yard. I will keep you posted on the results. P.S. Anyone looking to purchase some slightly used meteorites? Just kidding!

Re: [meteorite-list] More eBay cancelled auctions
I had a similar problem, or the seller had the problem as I was in the hospital and could not bid. It was for a special type of thin rock saw... very expensive items when new and costly when used. I wanted to bid on it as it was listed for .99cts. Then the day before the auction was to end, there were no bidders. I wanted that machine badly. Then with a potentially deadly episode with my heart, to the hospital I went for 3 days. I missed the auction completely and no one had bid on it. .99cts. I could not believed that it had passed with no bids. And the seller had not re-listed it either. I e-mailed the seller my story, saying that I would have bid on it and maybe gotten it for .99cts. (Robbery on my part really). So I wrote would he be willing to take an offer on it out of auction. The owner was gone for a few days, and when he returned, I got an email stating? MAKE US AN OFFER. I did. $50 plus shipping and handling. (Still a steal, expecting a counter offer) Instead, the seller accepted, and the deal was done. I think that maybe in cases where a really valuable item is snagged for a real low price, it might be honorable to make an offer that would reasonable to avoid the auction being canceled, due to seller regrets. But then again, I have sold things on ebay and taken it in the shorts so to speak, and that is the way it is. I never short an auction that I put up no matter what the closing price is.

The book was in it's 4th edition, with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th edition copies all on Ebay with varying prices. Someone had a 3rd edition copy on auction with a 99 cent opening price, but they had a feedback rating of only 3. But figuring everybody had to start some time, I made a bid. The auction continued a few days after my bid (so I wasn't sniping) and nobody else bid at all. The auction closed for 99 cents plus shipping. I paypaled the amount as soon as the auction ended. Within a hour, I get a refund from Paypal, with a message from the seller that she had sold it to someone else off-line. Now, obviously, she had simply not liked the closing price and wanted a do over. If it had been a seriously high-priced item that went for 99 cents, I would probably have let someone off the hook just to be fair. But 99 cents for a used copy of a previous edition of a computer manual is not an unreasonable price, even if it did cost $60 when it was new a few years back. Dishonest tactics over unrealistic expectations on prices for a used item deserve a negative feedback, and got a negative feedback with an explanation why (best as could be done in the 80 character limit.) I then used buy-it-now to pick up a 2nd edition copy of the book for $2.05 with no hassles.
