Re: [meteorite-list] Spectacular Tektite on eBay
Hi Richard and list, Thanks for bringing this beautiful tektite to our attention..(..AUSTRALITE: Tektite, Meteorite from Western Australia..330458934895.) although I nearly had a stroke when I saw the priceWOW!!! $2,000.00 Aussie dollars, $1,830.80US dollars. Is this someone we know? I don't recognize the seller Abba45 and there is no mention of belonging to any group like the IMCA. If I may quote here from her/his auction: Fully flanged buttons are very rare and a flawless one is worth anywhere between $2000 - $5000 depending on size, shape and condition. I think it's very nice, but at only 4.2 grams I wouldn't pay that much unless it weighed about 200 pounds. ;-) Have a great clear sky night and may a beautiful rare and expensive meteorite fall into your yard tonight. All the best!

Re: [meteorite-list] Spectacular Tektite on eBay
On this beautiful tektite, I stand corrected. I've been told it could go for up to $5,000, perhaps more due to the quality of it.. I'll keep my big mouth shut now. It is beautiful, and I assume the price is determined not only by the market, but on the quality and rarity of such an item. Good luck to the seller and I hope it goes for many thousands. All the best!

Re: [meteorite-list] Spectacular Tektite on eBay?
I bought this one years ago along with two others for $900- each. Not for sale as this is the last one that I have left. Although all were similar, this one was slightly the best. http://www.catchafallingstar.com/buttona.JPG http://www.catchafallingstar.com/buttonb.JPG Jim Strope http://www.catchafallingstar.com/ http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPageuserid=catchafallingstar.com __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
