[meteorite-list] List of Dealers that have passed away or no longer selling

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Hi List and Happy Holidays.

Forgive me that I have been out of the game of Selling and Buying meteorites 
for a good bunch of years. Recently I took some time checking the internet 
going back to check some of the Meteorite Dealers Websites and ran into some 
websites being closed down. I do read some of the meteorite-list postings every 
now and than to stay somewhat abreast on the world of meteorites.

Can someone tell me what happened to Michael Blood's Website. Did Michael 
CottIngham (probably spelled his last name wrong, sorry) get out of meteorites. 
The Hupe brothers?

Can you also share some of the renown Dealers that got out of the game so to 
speak and or that have passed away say over the last 5 years.

Appreciate it!

Sincerely

Re: [meteorite-list] Who sold their collection to a pawn shop?

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Its funny bringing this up. "Low ball" most likely. Not easy selling an 
entire collection since the world of collecting meteorites is tiny 
percentage compared to other type hobbies. I know when I sold my collection 
I  Thoroughly and meticulously spent 4 months going through many Dealer 
sites to get an idea what prices were fair for my collection piece by piece 
and what I truly spent on it over a 20 year period. I was stunned what low 
ball offers I received by Dealers and Collectors, yet they sell their pieces 
on their sites for top dollar!


I decided to sell my collection to an institution that we both agreed in 
writing to never resell my collection for profit but rather display the 
collection as a way to draw Folks to the institution for learning and 
educational purposes. The institution would make money via an admission fee 
to view the collection and other attractions they have set up. Did I take a 
loss? You bet I did, but at least I know my efforts, time and money over 20 
years collecting meteorites was not in vain. It will now be viewed by 
thousands of Folks rather than a few if I just displayed the collection in 
my house, thus worth it. I left a legacy so to speak as my name is displayed 
on the collection in the institution and I can travel and see my collection 
free at any time!


I sold my collection because as I got older I did not want to leave it to be 
sold by my family after I take my last breath here on this Earth. They would 
have had no idea where to begin with it and or how to sell it nor what value 
it was worth. A burden I did not want to leave them.


With the Covid 19 running this world into the ground, especially Folks 
losing their jobs, houses etc. it would not surprise me some collector 
needing quick cash from a Pawn shop to pay bills and such. Desperate times 
call for desperate measures. Sad as it is, we do what we need to do.


Cheers and Happy Holidays to ALL you meteorite Folks out there.

Hi John and List,

I never thought to cross-reference these with the Met Bull. Good
detective work there. The numbers just don't add up. Something is
suspect there - or "sus" as the kids say now. LOL.

Occasionally you'll see these pawn brokers or antique/collectible
dealers offer a meteorite or two, but you don't often see an entire
collection of larger and more interesting pieces from a seller like
this. Meteorites clearly aren't their speciality, so the pawn shop is
just probably passing along whatever info came with the specimens when
they received them.

What strikes me is (you alluded to the same) is that a collection of
this size and quality is wasted on a pawn shop. Who takes a collection
like that to the corner pawn shop? The seller could have done a lot
better selling it first-hand to collectors and not going through a
pawn broker that is going to lowball you on the sale. I'd think that
any collector who built a collection like that would be savvier than
walking into a pawn shop and plopping them on the counter for a quick
sale.

But, who knows? Somebody might have needed money fast for legit
reason. Or, maybe they are stolen. Or maybe the story is stranger than
that. Just seeing all of those meteorites for sale by a pawn shop made
me curious. I've been watching them for a couple of weeks now, and
more specimens keep being offered.

Buyer beware.

Best regards,

MikeG

Main mass of 46.5g and the bulletin says the type specimen weighs 11.2g .
The tkw is listed as 56.12 This is a physical impossibility since the 
Pawn
Shop shows a tkw of 57.62, more than the Meteoritical Bulletin shows 
exists,

and that is not accounting for cutting loss and the 2 photographed
specimens. Maybe the meteorites were purposely stripped of the provenance 
to
hide something. Maybe they are stolen? Clearly someone is trying to get 
rid
of them really fast. Buyers should be cautious, and the collection they 
are

sourced from should be identified fast!!!

[meteorite-list] AD-REVISED AD: Entire Meteorite Collection $6000

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Hi Meteorite Friends Don Merchant here again. I have recently conversed with 
a few World Renowned Meteorite Dealer Friends about selling my Meteorite 
Collection. As some may know and some may not, I have been out of the 
Meteorite Collecting and its Markets for some time now due to health 
reasons. With this said I have to in all fairness revise the sale amount of 
my collection. It needs to go! I have decide to sell the entire collection 
for $6000 which is a fair price based on Markets. Far less than what I put 
into it, but fair none the less. So if anyone is interested please contact 
me off List and forgive me of not keeping up with the Markets. Below is all 
the info of my Meteorite Collection as stated in my previous email post:


I have been Buying, Selling and Collecting
Meteorites for almost 20 years. It is with a heavy heart that the time has
come to sell my entire meteorite collection. METEORITES ONLY. Cabinets NOT 
included.


I have acquired over 220+ different specimens from around the world. Many 
specimens

purchased from the top most world renowned Dealers/Collectors such as Mike
Farmer, Michael Cottingham, Sergey Vasiliev, Moritz Karl, Rob Elliott, Dean
Bessy, John Schooler, The Hupe Brothers, Norbert Classen, Steve Arnold
(Meteorite Men) to name a few! This is a much diversified collection that
was acquired over 20 years!

These meteorite specimens vary in size and weight from micro to macro size.
Many are of the most historical and
scientific significance. Many are the rarest of the rare and exceedingly
difficult to acquire now days. Much thought was put into each purchased
meteorite. Some of these specimens are fragments, some are slices, and some 
are part slices.

A few are whole stones, and a few are oriented. 2 have natural holes in
them, some have crust, and others are etched. All of them have an
interesting story to tell.

I have been a long time Member of the IMCA (International Meteorite
Collectors Association) Member #0960 and long time Member of the Meteorite
Central List/Forum

http://imca.cc/index.php?option=com_frontpage=1

LINK to Meteorite Collection:
http://www.ctreasurescwonders.com/meteorite_collection.html

Due to time constraints and health reasons I am not interested in selling
these pieces one at a time. I just do not have the stamina or the time for
that. I am looking to sell the entire collection as a whole, thus the price
reflects and compensates for someone who does.

I have painstakingly, meticulously and thoroughly organized all the
paperwork, cases and specimen information for each piece. All have
Provenance's, be it ID Cards (the majority) from the previous
Dealer/Owner. A few will have a PayPal or EBay receipt/paperwork, as well as
my own ID Cards. For a Buyer if purchased, these pieces are ready to sell
instantly as I have done all the work!

As a bonus (since I will no longer need it and well worth over a $500
value), this collection will come with a Rolodex that has
Information/History Cards professionally typed. The Rolodex
Information/History Cards covers about 80% of all the specimens, with a few
handwritten included. I just was never able to complete 100% of the
Information/History Cards due to time constraints and health reasons. Still 
very

nice to have, and I am just throwing it in the sale.

Link for Rolodex pictures:
http://www.ctreasurescwonders.com/rolodex.html?r=20180529130829

I prefer a United States Buyer as my first choice. A U.S. Buyer will have
first preference over an International Buyer.

I will entertain an International Buyer under strict conditions and at my
discretion.
International Buyer MUST be of good standing and a World Renowned Reputation
Dealer and or
Collector in the meteorite Community and can back that reputation up!  My
reluctance selling
Internationally is not to be taken personal. It is due to the fact that once
the collection is sent out, tracking and Custom Handling becomes
virtually difficult to deal with and heavy risks for such an expensive
transaction. I have
a hard time trusting certain Country Customs. I am sure many of you
understand what I am talking about.

With that stated. I am asking $6000.00 USD. It includes Free 1 Day
shipping Registered Signature Required with tracking and insured Paid by me
to any U.S. Buyer in the United States. This Collection will be well packed,
and secured for its journey.

Interested International Buyers will have to contact me to work out details
on shipping if I consider a Sale/Offer..

I accept a Bank Cashiers Check Only. However.I will entertain payment via
PayPal. However PayPal takes 3% from the amount. I will split the PayPal Fee
so the Buyer will have to pay 1.5% to the negotiated price.

PLEASE, ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS contact me off list.

At that point I will pass along my phone # so you can speak with me if you
choose or have further questions..
I will also send via your email an entire list in alphabetical order on
Microsoft Word a list of that

their money selling these pieces individually. Others can take what pieces
they want for their collection and sell the rest and still easily make out
on the plus side of this sale.

Re: [meteorite-list] Stolen specimens from Eduardo jawerbaum collection

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Holy Smokes! They wiped you out! So sorry to hear this Eduardo. How does 
something like this happen? It seems every year I hear about someone at the 
Tucson whose items get stolen. Are there not paid security during this event 
day and night? Are there not security cameras in the buildings/rooms/parking 
lots? This is such a shame.

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Holy Cow Adam...you're right! Heck I was moaning and whimpering when it was 
$16.95. I had to now check for myself for Priority small flat rate box. I can't 
believe it!! I have always preferred Priority Mail. Now to save costs you have 
to go first class mail. I don't like it. Seems more of a chance for someone to 
say they never received the item. Now your out the item and if they paid via 
PayPal your double screwed and out that or PayPal blocks your account from you 
using it until refund is made. Sorry Folks did not mean to hijack the post but 
wow you aren't kidding USPS raised their prices!!
Cheers
Don

  The rates went up again.  It now costs $34.00 to send a USPS Flat Rate Box 
international.  I remember when it costs $2.80 to send a USPS Flat Rate Box 
domestically just a few years ago.  Like any thing the Federal Government 
touches, you count on drastic price increases with less efficiency.

Re: [meteorite-list] Killed by a meteorite

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

You could be on to something here Tom! Remember the movie "Joe Dirt" and his
meteorite! This could be a ball of frozen poop that was released from a
plane and traveled and pushed around by the jet stream. Tine will tell but
that is my guess.

Re: [meteorite-list] 1996-2016 meteorite collectors / dealers

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Not sure if this counts but I started into the hobby of astronomy when I was 
very young. At 13 years of age I went to the Strasenburg Planetarium here in 
Rochester, NY. While I was there I bought a small book called "A Comet 
Strikes the Earth" by Harvey Ninniger in the gift shop. On that book was a 
glued a small piece of meteorite from the outside rim of the Barringer 
crater. I still have that book and the meteorite. I will go out on a limb 
and say then that I started collecting meteorites in 1973!

Hi John,

Jim and I were active before this but '95 & '96 is when the Internet 
started taking off and the first meteorite websites were born.  I think 
Eric Twelker was the first with The Meteorite Marketplace.


Can't believe 2016 will be 20 years...

Hello All,

20 years.

I noticed while looking at Matt Morgan's web site, he writes
"established in 1996"
The Meteorite Exchange site says "Impacting the Meteorite World Since 
1996"


Did anyone else start collecting in '96. If not then... when? and why?
Many dealers and collectors were active before '96 and many more after.

In August 1996 I read on the front page of the local NC (Greensboro
Daily News) newspaper that NASA had found a possible life form in a
Martian meteorite found in Antarctica - Allan Hills 84001. This was
announcing there was life elsewhere in the Universe.

I figured people would want meteorites. I was already selling gems and
minerals at shows and had seen meteorites for sale in Tucson and
Denver. I had meteorites before the end of the year. The fist ones
were mailed from a dealer in Mexico - Tolucas, then Gibeon from the
S.African dealers Karl and Clive. Next was Esquel from Bob Haag. I
nearly sold out the first show I offered meteorites.

It was ALH 84001 that started it for me. How about the rest of you?

See you in Tucson.

meteorite coins. I have listed 2 meteorite coins which are my most prized 
coins since they are highly desired with Meteorite Coin Collectors and Coin 
Dealers. They are the 2004 Liberia NWA 267 Coin and the Fly Me to the Moon 
Coin. Believe it or not they are fair priced compared to other Sellers 
selling either of these coins. As you know the Liberia 2004 NWA 267 coin 
rarely if ever shows up anywhere's for sale. Here is the link below if 
anyone want to take a peek. If you have any questions email me off List

[meteorite-list] Does anyone buy entire meteorite colletions?

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Just curious List...I have seen a few web sites of Dealers stating that they 
buy meteorite and or meteorite collections. I guess my question is do they 
really buy entire meteorite collections? I have conferred with a few Dealers 
a few years back who have posted on their web sites that they do, but when 
asked, they then say that they don't! Maybe that statement should be removed 
from their web site, I guess.

*
I know that before the end of this year 2015, I will be selling my entire 
meteorite collection (meteorites only), then later I will be selling all my 
meteorite coins, stamps, postcards and other meteorite related items. I get 
the feeling that this will be more difficult then I anticipated even though 
my collection has been meticulously documented and preserved.

*
With that said has anyone bought or sold entire meteorite collections and if 
so are there any hints, tips and or advice that can be recommended?

I have bought many collections. There is no right or wrong answer. Markets 
change, prices rise or fall. Send me a list.
I've offered to buy back endless meteorites for even 10 times what I sold 
them for. Of course that doesn't apply to most things but some it sure 
does.

[meteorite-list] AD: ALL-YOU-NEED 8 inch Complete Hi-Tech Diamond

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Hi List and Happy Holidays.
*
This is for U.S.Buyers ONLY.
*
I have up for sale an ALL-YOU-NEED 8 inch Complete Hi-Tech Diamond 
Horizontal Lap Machine. I had purchased this some time ago from Kingsley 
North with the intention of using it. That never transpired. This is a brand 
spanking new never been used and been just sitting around like a paper 
weight. It is Complete and runs perfect. I decided it's time to unload it to 
someone who will use it! This sells for over $500+ I will take the loss and 
I am selling it for $375 with FREE SHIPPING any where in the U.S. If it does 
not sell by Friday December 5th, 2014 I will put it up on eBay as a Buy It 
Now but at a higher price. I thought I would allow the List first chance 
before eBay. Here is a link to a page on my Website which has pictures and 
more information and how to contact me if interested. Thank you for your 
time and have a safe and Happy Holidays.

[meteorite-list] Off subject--Halloween Special

[Don Merchant via Meteorite-list]

Hi List. Sorry if this is off Subject...As many as you may know or not, one 
of my hobbies is the study of the haunted paranormal. I had the fortunate 
opportunity to study for about 5 years one of the most haunted places in the 
United States called Rolling Hills...a former insane asylum! During this 
time I created a CD on the history and findings of Rolling Hills, much like 
a virtual tour. Below is the Link to my Website

*
Anyways...since today is Halloween, and Happy Halloween by the way, I 
thought I would send out a Halloween Treat to the List for those who can 
find some time today/tonight to check out the Video and listen to the CD 
virtual tour. Best to listen to the CD with headphones to get the best 
affects but not necessary. Your welcome to share it with family and friends 
to give a scare!
