Total scammer scammingmeteorite! So, I just wanted to tell my fellow ebay meteorite sellers about this total scammer on Ebay that is buying meteorites. This guy bought a really nice bullet-shaped Taza from me and stated that he didn't like it but he didn't want to go to the trouble of returning it, he just wanted his money back, and I told him that if he wanted his money back he was going to have to return the piece. I don't offer partial refunds or anything. I just needed the piece returned. Here's whet he did I almost still can't believe he did this - he returned to me a bubble mailer, with an EMPTY gemjar - no meteorite. He kept the TAZA and GOT a REFUND! Eventually Ebay ended up giving me my money back, but he also kept his money and the TAZA! Ebay says that they will let him steal this time, and keep him on Ebay, and just watch to see if he does it again. So, I am just warning all of you guys out there about him b/c I am sure if you are prone to do something that evil, you don't do it in a vacuum, and you will surely do it again.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: CV metachondrite pairings
David, After returning from a months vacation I come home to find you not only once but two times making false statements on the list reguarding me. Ron Farrell is not and has never been my partner. My partner for the last ten years has been Ali Hmani of Morocco. Make sure you get your facts straight before you apply them to the list. I have sold meteorites to Ron Farrell and bought meteorites from him as well. Terry Boswell In my opinion you have no right to complain about the high pricing of this material, and you should be proud of yourself that the paired find NWA 2400 was also being offered at $3000/g by Terry Boswell and his partner in crime Ron Farrell. - Original Message - From: David Weir [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 7:46 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Re: CV metachondrite pairings Adam Hupe wrote: First of all, thank you for finally contacting the scientists and reporting your findings. Wrong, Ted called me. The issue of 3133 and 1839 being paired or not actually didn't even come up in our conversation since there was so much else of interest to discuss. I didn't sleep all night thinking of the exciting things we discussed, but I guess I'm a bit obsessed with this subject. It was in a separate e-mail in which I answered his query about the wording error on his website, something you posted you had done some time ago. Obviously this wording was a leftover from an earlier time when a pairing was suspected. In a prior post I stated that I thought the probabilities would be vanishingly small (although not zero) to find two unpaired, CV metachondrites, with overlapping mineralogy and chemistry, at the same proximity and time. My response is: Nobody knows what proximity they were found and they were classified at different times. They came for two different sources, we do not purchase material from Aziz. Who says both are related to the CV parent body? COs plot slightly different. The proximity I was referring to was the Moroccan/Algerian desert, and the time is the same short period that you have been involved in meteorites. I have seen the plot on the CV mixing line for both meteorites and they are darn close. In fact, certain select isotope runs virtually overlap. However, I would welcome the first CO metachondrite to my collection! Now I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my gratitude and friendship to Aziz Habibi for gifting me almost a gram of NWA011/2400 (that's 1000 x what I have!), which will now become the official representative specimen of this probably extinct asteroid on my website. Many thanks Aziz! My response is: How could it be official when it has not been studied and no nomenclature has been given to this piece? This is the same kind of proclamation that causes problems and lengthy debates. The official part was obviously meant to refer to my website only, that is clear in my statement, and does not infer any pedigree from NomCom or anyone else. I have no idea where Aziz got this gift from; perhaps he acquired it from Ron Farrell in care of his partner Terry Boswell. Perhaps it is a piece of the original rock that he might have acquired from the Russians or Japanese. Perhaps a new pairing yet to be officially confirmed. I am not so rude as to question his generosity like you seem to want me to do. If you don't like which photos I use on my website to represent a particular meteorite, then may I invite you to avoid any confusion in your mind and not visit meteoritestudies.com in the future. Feeling a little vindicated after being called a liar, You are special Adam, don't let anyone affect your self esteem by calling you bad names.

Re: [meteorite-list] Is Ted Bunch an idiot?
Tom Hello. I do believe Ted Bunch is correct. after he TED had just finished classifying this stone, ran a thin section through the probe and studied it under a microscope. compared to seeing a picture and trying to give his own analysis... I think we know who is the idiot on this call. Terry Boswell - Original Message - From: Tom Knudson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: met list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 10:03 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Is Ted Bunch an idiot? Hello List, I bought an unclassified meteorite on ebay, cut it, thought it was really nice, unlike anything I had seen, so I sent it in for classification. Later, I sent a picture to the list and someone commented that it looked like NWA 869. So when the classification was complete, to avoid any trouble, I asked Ted Bunch if there was any possibility of NWA 2906 being paired with 869, he said; I have over 50 reference slices of 869 - we are doing a research project on this stone. In addition, I helped T. Boswell sort out odd balls from 400 kg 869. I have seen a lot of 869 and it does have many variations. Your stone is not 869. I quoted Ted on my auction; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=6554595054 But someone on the list says he can tell from the pictures that it is NWA 869 and that I am an idiot for trying to sell it as something other than 869. So I am trying to figure this out, should I think Ted Bunch is an idiot even after he had just finished classifying this stone, ran a thin section through the probe and studied it under a microscope.? Or should I assume the guy who thinks he can tell from the picture is an idiot? I do not want to be selling something that is not what I said it was. If it is 869 I will make it clear, but I have to know who to believe, the meteorite scientist who studied it, or the unknown guy that can tell more from a picture than the guy who studied it. .

It has been documented, pictures taken... My father (Terry Boswell) is out of town on business or I would have more information on it.
