Re: [meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay
Herman and all, this is not about me, just a comment on the fact that when anyone announces something new, for example, Sonny announced a new R chondrite from the USA, the first ever and something quite special that he found. I watched and there was only silence. I am not saying that everyone on the list needs to comment, that would be nuts, but when these ebay scams are put up, it seems so many people jump on every time. I am just curious why, and some of you have answered your own personal reasons. Enough said.

I for one appreciate your efforts in meteoritics very much,and wish you good fortune and exciting adventures.Thanks to you and other adventurers we enjoy specimens for study and pleasure.THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Re: [meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay
I took a look; it does look like a piece of regular ol' concrete to me. The seller supposedly lives just up the hill from me on Maui. I wonder what he would say if I offered to come up there with my nickel testing kit and check it out?:-) I further wonder if he's one of the several crackpots I know from first hand experience; something about the air at the mile-high level on Haleakala seems to addle brains.

It is eBay # 320275545235 and it is offered at one million $. It looks like a slice of concrete but what do I know. Speaking of which, I just took a photo of a dynamite meteor wrong. It is a piece of concrete that was freshly coated in tar with a broken face. Surprisingly eye catching. Both the parking lot and this stone look great!

If, as quoted in the description, a picture is worth a thousand words, you'd imagine them putting a better picture.

You know what I find interesting, every time a fake meteorite is posted on here, there is an uproar, tons of interest. When a real new meteorite or a fall is posted, the silence is most often deafening.

Re: [meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay
Michael Though what you say is true, I can appreciate why I trust the information from this list. I'm sure many others do. If you tell me you've a new meteorite, I believe you. I'm not likely to ask anything more than the information you'd tell me anyway. If someone points out a meteorwrong, it's no surprise that there are a lot of people (a lot less experienced than you) who want to know how to spot the latest junk. I know I'm one of them. Take it as a complement that people trust your announcements rather than thinking lack of response is lack of interest. Maybe you should reannounce it at 2-4 week intervals. Would people mind the repetition? Well one thing's for sure, they'd tell you. I'm sure as eggs is eggs interested. If it makes you feel better, I'll stir up a bit of controversy to get people talking about the newest finds.

Re: [meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay
Hi Mike, List, I've noticed that too but I can't necessarily fault anyone for that. I do admire all finds and falls shared on the Met-List but some I just enjoy the accounts or the pictures offered and don't feel the need to offer any commentary. Believe me, I am soaking it all up though. Or, at least as much as my antiquated mind will allow. Fact is, I truly appreciate it when someone shares pictures or information about their latest find. I also appreciate the effort that went into the recovery. To be honest, I find the wrongs interesting too. Its a comparison thing I guess. I learn from them.
