[meteorite-list] I'm curious

2011-01-03 Thread J Sinclair
Hi Everybody.

I haven’t posted much on the list for the last several years. When I
was active, I think there were about 800 members. Now according to
Art, there are over 1300.
Amazing.

I have a couple of questions. I have some old meteorite stock (and
some recent material too) that I want to sell.

As Sellers
How are you most successful in moving inventory?  Is it by a website
or a list with “sale” prices or is it by auction with a low opening
bid and then hoping for the best?  Or, are there other options that
work well?

As Buyers
How do you most like to buy? Is it buying from a list or website with
fair (sale) prices or is it buying at auction and hoping to get a
really good deal?  Or, are there any other ways that work well for
you?

I just basically want to move some inventory I’ve had stashed and I’m
pondering the best way to do it for both buyer and seller. It's not a
fire sale but I like a “win–win” situation.

Thanks.
John Sinclair

First to chime in, and recently new to collecting (10 years) I'll mention 
that my most special specimens have come from offerings from this List, 
quality and rarity and exceptional pedigree of primary focus. I'll be 
reading everyone's input, as well.
