Re: [meteorite-list] Christie's Meteorite Auction

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

The price on the ordinary chondrite that realized USD $105,939.00 should be 
.68/gram not 6.81/gram.  I missed a zero while doing the calculation.

Wow, after following this auction I was surprised.

http://www.christies.com/results

The top items were a 434 gram Seymcham Pallasites sphere that sold for an 
amazing USD $303.08/gram ($131,535.00) followed by a NWA 155 kilogram, H6 
ordinary chondrite that realized USD $6.81/gram ($105,939.00)


I believe the top price per gram honor went to a 6.43 gram NWA 8306 Lunar 
Meteorite which realized USD $2777.34/gram ($17,775.00)


In total, the entire auction only realized USD $820,895.41 with most key 
pieces failing to sell.  I thought for sure somebody would pick up the 
Zagami Martian Meteorite Main Mass which seemed reasonably priced to me at 
around USD $250.00/gram, especially when a Pallasite that normally sells 
for around $5.00/gram realized over USD $300.00/gram  if the auction 
results are not in error and the sale is completed.


Perhaps prospective buyers were not educated properly to the importance of 
some of these pieces or the venue was improper.  In any case, the results 
were very surprising and unexpected to me since I have sold much more than 
the entire auction amount over the years on eBay.

Thank you Darryl.

But how do we see the hammer price on all those pieces?
Will Christie publish those prices?   and where?
Thanks.

Hi,

CHRISTIE'S Auction Tomorrow in London.  2.30p / (GMT+1)  Catalog – 
http://bit.ly/23DlL8D


It's worth noting...

— Several lots have no reserve;

— There is a benefit to those paying in US dollars.  Due to currency 
fluctuations, CHRISTIE'S current USD auction estimates are about 8% lower 
than those printed in the catalogue.  To track the current exchange 
estimates, go to the CHRISTIE'S website http://bit.ly/1qp6Osq and look at 
the “grid view” where the real-time dollar amounts can be compared with 
those in the downloadable e-catalogue—which, again, can be seen here: 
http://bit.ly/23DlL8D



Best of luck,

Darryl

[meteorite-list] Mexico Doug Okay?

[E.P. Grondine via Meteorite-list]

Hi all - 

I am just getting to my mail. How is Doug doing? 
What the hell happened?

Since "Meteorite Men" feel to $#!t, (geoff, Brenheim steve?)
I have thought that a new meteorite show is needed.
Certainly the real life adventures of you meteorite hunters should interest 
viewers.

goo hunting, all,
Ed

BTW, as some very cheap used copies of "Man and Impact in the Americas" have 
been showing up on amazon,
some of you may wish to invest in them now.

[meteorite-list] Beware of dealing with Fayssal Mezgouri

[Jack Schrader via Meteorite-list]

 Fayssal Mezgouri in his most recent email to the list even admits to using the 
old "bait and switch routine" on his victims. Classic! This is how he bilked me 
and others out of thousands of dollars. This is how he operates. He does a few 
small but good deals earning the buyers' trust and then he claims to have 
something rare. He sends a small but authentic sample "the bait", and then 
makes a deal with the buyer for a much larger piece. He collects the money and 
then sends a weathered common chondrite in place of the promised stone "the 
switch". He then claims ignorance as his defense when the buyer realizes that 
he has been had. It is sad and unfortunate that this one dishonest person is 
riding on the good reputation of the many many good and honest Moroccan dealers 
staining the reputations and trustworthiness of all by association. Sad and 
unnecessary. This man could have made a good living by dealing honestly with 
people.  Jack Schrader
