Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auctions Catalog update (AD)
Hi All, You can now see all but 2 of the items so far registered (60 so far) at: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/TucsonAuction08.html There is also a "Printer Friendly" link at the bottom of the list, but I suggest waiting until just before you leave, as I am hoping to Get several dozen more items up before the end of January. Remember, Lists in by Sunday get the 10% listing fee - and LOTS of exposure. Also, people interested in absentee bidding should begin placing Bids NOW. RSVP off list.

When you are working behind the scenes at an auction it really is rather intimidating. It becomes readily apparent that there are any number of situations that could occur that could have an adverse impact on the auction. On the other hand, it was truely amazing to see the processes and controls Mike has in play to counteract these potential threats and ensure a good auction. Mike does make the auction process look easy, but that is due to his professionalism and hundreds of hours of hard work on his part both before, during, and after the auction. Please don't ever think that putting together and managing any auction is easy.

I expect them to at least answer > these questions in public. -- Hi Bill and all, Due to responses from both collectors and a few dealers (and the lack of dealer response) AND due to the fact that, indeed people at the auction can and do write down prices - often the WRONG prices (as per Mike Farmer's - at least in the instance of the piece I bid on as an absentee bidder), I will be posting results shortly. It should be noted that one of the things I mentioned may have been at play in Al's auction "results" is that he apparently did not mention the absentee bids at the auction, itself. This apparently contributed mightily to the inaccurate reports of prices, including Mike Farmer's report. In my own auction I always "bid for" the absentee bidder or have someone else do so, so the crowd in the room can bid against him (and they usually outbid him). In any event, the final price is always declared at the auction and the bidding number for absentee bidders is always in the 200s, making it clear to anyone awake that the winner was an absentee bidder. Someone commented to the effect that putting together a well organized auction of 100 pieces was child's play. They obviously have never put together an auction. In any event, I will be posting results in the immediate future, since I do not want false results posted and there has been a lack of negative response to this issue. Personally, I always would have preferred to do so - though I saw negatives in doing so, the plusses outnumbered the negatives - and in light of recent events and inaccurate rumors of prices, it is the thing to do to be clear to everyone everything is on the up and up. (I can only be responsible for my own auction, of course).

Dear List, This week Jim and I will start setting up our annual Tucson Information Page on our meteorite.com site. We will also have a link from MeteoriteTimes to the Tucson page. We will use the same URL as last year but we still have to strip out last years information. You can view last years page below. http://www.meteorite.com/tucson.htm I'll send another e-mail to the list when we are ready to start having information sent to us. Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auctions?
Hi Rex & all, I always hold mine at the Tucson Jr. Chamber of Commerce and Darryl always holds the Macovich Auction on the lawn "Poolside" at Inn Suites. That is where most of the meteorite dealers are & I provide fliers and directions on the net to mine, which is about 5 minutes drive from there.

[meteorite-list] TUCSON Auctions ad
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! Greetings fellow collectors, At the Tucson Show, I will be holding two auctions: One for meteorites on Friday, Feb. 8th and one for fossils on Sunday, Feb. 10th. If you would like to enter (an) item(s) in the auction, please send JPG(s) to me for immediate posting on the internet so I can promote your items. If you have a minimum, please let me know when sending the JPGs. Of course, items will be accepted up through the day of the auction, but free promotion is a good thing for all. The meteorite auction has been GREAT fun since its inaugural in 2000. The first year it was about 1/2 full. Last year it was standing room only and this year we will have more chairs set up. At the meteorite auction, you can expect to see thin sections, whole stones & irons, slices, partslices, impactites & shattercones. Each year we sell lots of items from low 2 digits (even some at single digits) up to several thousands of dollars each & everything in between. I expect the fossil auction to get off to a simmilar start - don't miss THE first anual fossil auction! Here are the details: - Meteorite Auction, Fri, Feb 8th at 7PM - Fossil Auction Sun, Feb. 10th at 7PM. Sellers should submit items no later than between 5 PM and 6:30 PM and bidders should arrive for preview and registration (and socializing) between 6 PM and 7 PM. The bidding will start at 7PM sharp, so, please arrive before that time. For the meteorite auction, there is a 10% commission across the board for anyone bringing their material to the auction. (If you want ME to take it for you, the commission is 15%). There will be a 1% commission for items with a minimum bid which do not sell. Fossils commission is 15%, but only 10% for private collectors who are members of the meteorite list or Geoffs Paleo newsletter and any item selling for $1,000 or more. There is a 1% commission on minimum bid items which receive no bid. NO BUYERS' PREMIUM at either auction. Cash or checks accepted at the meteorite auction. For the fossil auction, cash required, though checks will be accepted from established customers of Dean Bessey or Michael Blood. CREDIT CARDS: for credit card buyers only, there will be a 5% buyers premium. I will accept credit cards only from customers of mine who are established credit card buyers. I do not like using a buyers premium but I am keeping my commission so low, one is necessary to cover my costs of processing credit card charges. DIRECTIONS TO THE AUCTIONS: LOCATION: Tucson Jr. Chamber of Commerce Hall 1115 E. Ft. Lowell -DIRECTIONS- FROM THE FWY: 1) Take the FWY to Miracle Mile - exit East 2) Take Miracle Mile East about 1.5 miles to Oracle 3) Turn Left onto Oracle (North) & go about 1/8th mi. to W. Ft. Lowell - turn Right (East) on W. Ft. Lowell. It will become E. Ft. Lowell - about 1.5 mi to Hall. FROM INN SUITES: (Where most of the meteorite dealer rooms are) - Turn L. leaving Inn Suites parking lot onto Granada (North - away from Downtown.) It will change into Main about the time you cross Speedway and again, into Oracle after you negotiate the traffic circle. Go about .5 mi. 4) Turn right onto W. Ft. Lowell (it has a traffic light) - it becomes E. Ft. Lowell after about .5mi. & about 1 mi. further you will come to 1115 E. Ft. Lowell (next to the Greek Church). There is plenty of parking next to the hall. This is a LARGE room with a 275 person capacity. So, be prepared to see a LOT of specimens & meet lots of people. There is a no host bar and a popular bar tender. Please drink safely. (Steve "I BID A DOLLAR!" Arnold should definately have a designated driver) Hope to see you there!
