Re: [meteorite-list] TUCSON METEORITE THEFT

[Alfredo Petrov via Meteorite-list]

As someone who lives in Tucson, I'll add that many Tucson storage units are
notoriously unsafe! I know of numerous thefts from storage units, and the
storage facility owners will not even necessarily inform you after your
unit has been burglarized.  Especially for foreign dealers who only visit
their storage units once a year during the show, and burglars can easily
find out that the unit is not visited the rest of the year, I recommend
doing whatever you can to find alternatives to a storage unit.

I will be going.  The only venues that will be closed by the Covid Comissars 
will be the City-Owned properties like the Convention Center. That still leaves 
the lion‘s share of locations free to
choose.  If you can go to Home Depot, the grocery store, or Christmas shopping, 
you can go to a dealer’s room at a hotel.

I agree.
I don't believe we will truly be safe until everyone has been vaccinated. So, 
yes we can be lucky and somehow avoid it but safe!  that's a different story.
So I already worry about the Ensisheim Show in June.

All things considered, April sounds a bit optimistic.

If a show was outside, like Quartzite, then I would be less worried
about exposure risk while attending. My main concern would be
traveling to and from the show and how lodging could be handled.
Traveling and lodging present their own inherent risks.

Or, they could just move the show to Florida where the governor is a
science-denier and business is open as usual. A lot of people down
here are acting like nothing is happening. Events, parades, parties,
sporting events with fans in the stands, the whole nine yards. Of
course, the hospitals are filled to the rafters and the morgues are
overflowingso there's that.

Stay safe!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show 2017 Precautions and Advisories

[Adam Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Scary stuff,

Thank you for the heads up on the restaurants in Tucson that failed 
health department guidelines.  I have eaten at three or four of the 
listed places in the past.  I thought the stomach gurgles were from the 
infamous Tucson Crude (flu) that goes around the show almost every year. 
 I remember my wife complaining to a waiter about the refried beans 
being cold at an IMCA dinner at La Fuentes and he stuck his finger in 
them and agreed. The waiter returned 20 minutes later with a second 
serving of even colder beans.


The bed bug warning is definitely in order.  My wife only agreed to 
attend the show this year if we holed up in a hermetically sealed 
Airstream travel trailer since she will not stay in a hotel in Tucson 
ever again.  We were attacked by these blood sucking vampires a few 
years ago at a gem and mineral show which proved to be very costly.  We 
disposed of our luggage and clothes afterwards not wanting to bring 
these disgusting bugs home with us.


Now, we always inspect hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs before 
unloading our luggage. My wife made the mistake of closing the curtains, 
turning off the lights and shinning a black light around the room the 
last time we were in Tucson. Almost every surface exhibited fluorescence 
caused by excitation of atoms in bodily fluids left behind from previous 
guests.  It looked somewhat like a murder scene you would see on a crime 
show.  We requested another room, were unable to sleep well and wished 
we could forget what we saw.


Bed bugs are at epidemic levels in Tucson which ranks number 14 in the 
entire nation for bed bug infestations!


Reference:
Aug 24, 2017 - Arizona Daily Star. Aug 24, 2017. Terminix is warning 
Americans and those of us in Tucson and Phoenix that bed bugs are on the 
rampage. Of the 20 top cities with a bed bug problem, Tucson ranks No. 
14, which is not as bad as Phoenix at No. 7.


Warning; do not look at this graphic image if you do not want to see 
some victims horribly bed bug bitten butt:

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/BedBugBitesTucson.jpg

Be careful what you eat since they may be attracted to flatulence 
especially when you are at your most vulnerable, degassing at night:

http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-reasons-why-bed-bugs-are-pure-evil.php

Woman killed by bed bug bites:
https://www.zappbug.com/killed-by-bed-bug-bites/

In all seriousness, be careful and use precautions so that you do not 
pick up the flu, get eaten by bed bugs, get food poisoning or are 
sickened by black mold.


Adam

According to what I have found in the Tucson local news, bed bugs, black mold,

Although none of these potential problems should NOT stop you from attending it

Bed Bugs-

worse THEY CAN TRAVEL HOME WITH YOU in your luggage or clothing. If you are 
unfortunate and they travel back to your house you may be looking at thousands 
of dollars to rid your house of them- bed, sofa, carpets. One website suggests 
that you do not store your luggage inside your hotel room or to dispose of 
luggage outside your home upon return.

Dear List,

Please do not submit any information yet as the form is not sending the 
information to me.  I'll update when it's okay to submit your information.


That's what I get for not testing the form until after I send the email 
to the list... :-)


Thank you!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson show

[Jon Wallace via Meteorite-list]

Hi,

I have the opportunity to go to Tucson for a week in February and wanted to 
pick the 'correct' week so I can participate in meteorite events. I attended a 
few years ago but showed up for the last week and nothing was happening and 
don't want a repeat. If anyone has information about the show and events for 
'meteorite people', please share it when it becomes available. Thanks! Jon__

Sorry Adam,

I was way too busy to take pictures.
But many people took pictures and posted them on Facebook.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show - Any IMCA Dinner Pictures?

Dear List Members,

I could not help but notice that with the Ensisheim show coming up that 
there was not much fanfare about the Tucson show this year.  I decided at 
the last minute not to attend because of the lack of social activities on 
the venue for meteorite people and reports that it was very, very slow.  I 
remember a time when there were five or six get togethers at the show and 
you had to book a room nearly a year in advance.

Speaking of social activities, did anybody take pictures of the IMCA 
dinner?, the sole meteorite specific activity left.  I have not heard 
anything about it.

Best Regards,

Adam

Hello everyone. My room with Jim and Eric is up and running and the best ever. 
Amazing things on display and for sale. I had to leave for a family emergency

Be sure to check it out. Room 184 Hotel City Center. Moritz Karl and Comet shop

Well, don't tease us, you tell us!  LOL.  ;)

Let me hazard some wild guesses.  I will disclose that I know jack
about Gold Basin except what the typical collector knows.  I haven't
read anything recently.

Is it?

Somebody found tektites associated with the area?

New overlapping strewnfield find?

New rules from BLM or state about hunting that area?

A crazy local homeless person stumbled across the a lunar in the strewnfield?

All sales of Gold Basin are hereby suspended until these questions are
answered in an authoritative manner.

Hello All,

Saturday morning we landed in Phoenix on delayed flights due to the storm 
and didn't make it to Tucson until 3:30 AM. After sleeping in we eventually 
made our way to the Inn Suites around 2:00 PM enjoying the pouring rain and 
flooding. Being an experienced show attendee, I was able to 'talk' my way 
through the blocked hotel parking area and found a spot 10 feet from the 
covered walkway.


We spent the next three hours visiting with old friends, meeting new ones 
and finally meeting a few 'Facebook' friends I have never met in person. 
That night we met with close friends from out of state for dinner and 
enjoyed great seafood and Margaritas... Awesome first day of the show!


Yesterday, after a relaxed morning of sleeping in again, we went to a couple 
show rooms and I bought two nice diogenites, a CM2 and a gorgeous 
howardite... We later met with friends for fantastic southwest grilled 
seafood and delicious pizza while watching the Super Bowl, fun times were 
had by all.


Today is another relaxed start of the day and more meteorite 'Fun  
Friends'...


Looking forward to meeting up more peeps!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson pics?

[Michael Farmer via Meteorite-list]

Adam, I am sorry the only one having adversity seems to be you. 
Good luck with that, one day when you actually leave your house and use those 
cool trucks you might be happier. 
Tucson won't be the same without you. But everyone here is getting a kick out 
of your posts regarding the show. It's ok, Bagdad Bob was funny as well. Those 
of us still in the business are doing fine, well, with some exceptions of 
people who think eBay sales and kickstarter scams will make them any money. 
Anyway, nice chatting with you, I have a very busy and large room of meteorites 
to attend to.

 attendance.  I noticed attendance dropping off last year when I did go to the 
 show.   For the first time I can recall, getting a room is no problem at all 
 this year.  I left my options open and decided a few days ago it was not 
 worth it for me this year.  The lack of deals, bad weather, Superbowl 
 traffic, scams and lack of meteorite social gatherings was enough to keep me 
 away this year.
 
 The truth is that most people do not have much disposable income to attend 
 the show in the first place is what the news is reporting.
 
 The millennials could care less about collectables these days and don't have 
 any spare funds for non-electronic gadgets.  I have a huge stockpile of 
 meteorites and a warehouse full of antiques to prove it.  The only hot items 
 selling these days for me are vehicles and artifacts.  My wife acquired a 
 large U.S. space program collection which I will start listing items from in 
 the up and coming weeks.   My only hope is to break even on it since it was 
 acquired due to an investor failing to pay a note.
 
 I wish all the honest dealers well and hope that collectors can find a piece 
 or two to add to their collections.
 
 Adam

 I'm confused, how could attendance be lowest in decades? The show starts 
 today. There are no rental cars and very hard to find a place to sleep in the 
 entire city.  It is pouring rain and flooding and hotel is full, parking lot 
 completely full and people walking blocks in the rain to get here.
 My sales at just fine, and yes, there are no wholesale prices and supply is

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson pics?

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

Good luck at the show.  I do not depend much on eBay these days although it 
is a good place to liquidate items if you are not concerned about getting 
anywhere near top dollar.  I still believe better deals are to be had online 
these days for collectors who choose to stay home and make deals.  I feel 
sorry for all the Tucson show attendees that came early believing they would 
get a good deal (full retail) from the Moroccans who's inventories are stuck 
in customs.


It is appalling that some meteorite personalities would be involved with 
crowdfunding (kistarter scams) and I have no clue who Bagdad Bob is since I 
tend to stay away from heavily monitored social media.  I leave Facebook to 
my wife who can waste time comparing recipes, posting pictures and other 
small talk.Even the creator of Facebook didn't have an account until a 
few years ago.  He doesn't have time for it.


It will be good to get back in the field and away from those who I no longer 
trust,


Adam

Adam, I am sorry the only one having adversity seems to be you.
Good luck with that, one day when you actually leave your house and use 
those cool trucks you might be happier.
Tucson won't be the same without you. But everyone here is getting a kick 
out of your posts regarding the show. It's ok, Bagdad Bob was funny as well. 
Those of us still in the business are doing fine, well, with some exceptions 
of people who think eBay sales and kickstarter scams will make them any 
money.
Anyway, nice chatting with you, I have a very busy and large room of 
meteorites to attend to.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson pics?

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

It looks like only 9 meteorite vendors posted information on the Tuson 
Information page so the show seems to be somewhat subdued this year; 
probably a sign of the times.  I decided not to attend this year for many 
reasons.  The only thing I will miss is the IMCA dinner and the Michael 
Blood auction which no longer exists.


I would rather spend my hard earned funds from artifact sales on searching 
for meteorites and other minerals.


Hopefully, some images of the IMCA dinner will be posted,

Adam

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson pics?

[Galactic Stone Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

For those who care to navigate the seas of social media, there are
tons of Tucson photos all over Facebook.  More Tucson photos than you
can look at.  John Humphries is posting some really good ones, as he
always does.  Many of my rockhound friends are and they are posting
oodles of photos as well.  :)

Best regards,

MikeG

 Dear List Members,
 
 I tried everything possible to attend the Tucson Show but too many other
 pressing concerns have come up.
 
 The main concern is for my mother-in-law who we moved out here to Laughlin
 three years ago.  She has been having medical issues and her primary doctor
 says leaving her alone for a few days is out of the question right now.  We do
 not want the state to place her in assisted living so we are doing our best to
 work with her doctors, who in my opinion, have been over-prescribing
 medications.  A new doctor cut back her medications and she seems to be doing
 better but it is too soon to tell.  We almost lost her a few years ago due to
 counterfeit Chinese medications that made it into American market.
 
 My new wife , Zann von Hupe (married on 12-12-2012 at 12:00 noon) has had to
 take care of her the last couple of weeks because I caught a nasty cold which
 lasted way too long and her mother can no longer drive herself to doctors'
 appointments.  My advice is to get a flu shot before going to Tucson if you
 haven't already.  It takes two weeks to kick in and could save you a lot of
 downtime and misery.
 
 Luckily for me, they are having a Gem and Mineral Show right here in Laughlin,
 Nevada.  I am glad to see a new show in town since the McCloud Jamboree which
 was held outdoors went away.  This new show could be the start of something
 fantastic since the economic advisers are talking about a massive 18-hotel
 wide event with over 20,000 rooms available here in town.

 tons of antiques and maybe some meteorites on display.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show

[Ed Deckert]

Hi Adam,

You are a good man.  I take care of an elderly parent at home, and it is 
wonderful to hear that you too have the love and concern to want to take 
care of family.  Too often, parents are shoved off to live the rest of their 
lives in an assisted living facility because nobody wants them.  They cared 
for us when we were children, but somehow, that does not always come full 
circle when they grow elderly.


Yes, there are instances where assisted living is the only good option, but 
like you, I wish to avoid that until it becomes absolutely necessary.


I sincerely hope that your mother-in-law's health continues to improve.

Warm Regards,
Ed Deckert

Tucson with them. (Courtesy of Paul at Meteorite Exchange -
Thanks to Paul)

I will look for your information there.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Information Page

[Michael Blood]

Hay everyone,
I have checked the page and so far there are 3 (including myself)
In the dealer section - look, everyone, if you are at the Tucson Show
And NOT in the Tucson guide, unless you are prominent at the Inn Suites
(now known by some other stupid name) you will DEFINITELY loose
Business by failing to be listed in this guide.
In the VISITING TUCSON section there is a grand total of 4,
Counting me and Chicago Steve. That will make it easy for everyone
To call each other on their cellsNOT.
Come on, what is with this year's show? Nearly everyone entered
Their items in the Auction very late - and 4 or 5 yes, but later people
Still not in - and now no one is listing themselves in the Tucson Guide
PageWHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
Time to get the lead out, folks
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Meteorite Auction Update (AD?...probably)

[Michael Blood]

Hi Y'all,
I had been waiting on several people who had said they
Were putting more lots in, but the time has comePlease
Send in your absentee bids this month. Please do NOT wait
Until the end of the monthlast year SEVERAL people
Emailed me AFTER I had left for the show so never got their
Absentee bids counted (If there is any question, here is the
Answerif you do not get an email CONFIRMATION of your
Absentee bids, I did not receive themalso, sometimes emails
To not arrive - same thing - no confirmation = I didn't get the
Email {heard from someone today who had emailed absentee
Bids recently, but I never received them})
So, there you have it. Check out the goodies at:

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson2013.html

If you aren't going to Tucson, now is the time to put in those bids.
As always, just like eBay, you can place your highest bid and it will
Work as a next highest increment above bidders in the auction
And/or other absentee bidders.

RSVP off list,
Thanks, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Meteorite Auction (AD)

[Michael Blood]

Dear List Members,

Please check out about 65 items now up, including over a dozen
different pallasites, large old Nininger Canyon Diablo, a cool large Gibeon,
A large Canyon Diablo with a nice sized hole, etc, etc.

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson2013.html

ALSO, it is time people who will be placing absentee bids start
Doing so. Last year about 30% of the absentee bids came in AFTER
I had left for Tucson, so never were recorded and bid for. You can always
Ad more when new material comes in.

In addition, the call now is for higher mid range and substantial
specimens for the remaining lots (I have plenty of low and lower mid
Range specimens to satisfy the ultra thrifty bidders).

For really substantial specimens I will negotiate consignment fees.

RSVP
Thanks, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Meteorite Auction 2013 (AD)

[Michael Blood]

Dear fellow List members,

This coming Tucson Meteorite Auction will be held in the
Same location as the last several years on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013.

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson2013.html

First, I would like to thank all of you for your past patronage in
The Tucson Meteorite Auctions of the past. I appreciate it very much.

Unfortunately the cost of putting on the auction has increased
So significantly in the last several years that I have been walking a
Narrow line just to stay in the black on these events, let alone make
any money from them. On occasion, it has even cost me - after hundreds
Of hours of prep (the on line catalog is quite time consuming)and money
Up front. 

As you are probably aware, most auctions charge at least 25%
Consignment fees while 35% is rapidly becoming the norm. In short,
I must raise my consignment fee to 15% (for items submitted by Sept. 1)
to be certain I will break even.

In addition, most auctions now have a Buyers' Premium of 15%
At least and often more. I will be holding that to 10%.

I already have 15 items up and a personal collection of 17
pallasites and 38 other meteorites on the way - in 
the mail to me NOW
As soon as they arrive I will get them photographed and 
listed in the
On line catalog. That will make 70 lots from the get go. SEE HERE:

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson2013.html

Those who would like to submit items, please contact me off list.

I hope you all will be continuing your involvement - I would
certainly love to see this auction continue as the joyful event it has
become as part of the overall Tucson Show experience for the meteorite
community.

Thanks, Michael

Erich Haiderer asked me to forward this - he's having trouble posting.

 Tucson Riverpark Inn meteorite show - As many were asking: 

As usual Erich Haiderer has one of the largest moldavite and meteorite
selection in Tucson. Be prepared for surprises for exciting martian,
historical, lunar, irons and pallasitic offers as well as top moldavites: He
will show surprising cosmic* matters this time in his Room 117 and patio of 
the Riverpark Inn (formerly Pueblo Inn) from 1/27th till the limited supply
lasts. 

I-10 (Intertstate-10): exit: Congress 
This year there will be extended parking lots at the Riverpark Inn Hotel for
a low parking fee - such everybody should have comfortable access. 

Welcome to all.

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Doug - 

I wouldn't try it without your wonderful personal help. 
I don't know how to say more lidocaine in Spanish.

My guess as to where the Yaqui meteorites are is in their pockets or in their 
houses.

You could just ask them, and unless you're too greedy or obsessed, they'd 
likely tell you. The key is respect, and remembering that they have their own 
way of looking at things, and valuing them.

E.P.

 Hi Ed, I'm sorry you can't make it to
 Tucson, but if you don't have dental insurance, you'll
 probably get a better work for half the price right across
 the border from Tucson/Nogales and can make your trip
 worthwhile.
 
 Plus you might find some interesting stuff in Yaqui culture
 if you look hard enough in that territory.  Really from
 a meteorite hunting perspective it's hard to top the
 Yaquis.  They traditionally believe that everything
 that inhabits the desert intercommunicates with a
 proto-language.  This includes (especially)
 rocks.  I have always wondered what lore of meteorites
 they might have and what they would make of it and you would
 be the guy to work that out.  Maybe a full-blooded
 Yaqui fluent in the old language could ask the rocks where
 they keep their meteorites ;-) as a bonus!  Anyway, a
 super interesting never-conquered culture which if not for
 commercialization of La Bamba would probably get even more
 respect and a better understanding...
 
 Anyway, the Deer Dance is all about the arid desert hunt
 where successfully finding and bagging one is a matter of
 survival.  Here's an excellent no bullshit/no props
 representation of it to whet your appetite:

Subject: [meteorite-list] Tucson College Rodeo - February 4th



Hello all,

Late January and the entire month of February are very busy days in 
Tucson. I don't have to mention all of the various gem and mineral shows 
that have during that time, but besides these shows, we also host the 
Accenture Match Play Championship and other events as well as two rodeos.


The big one, The Tucson Rodeo, is a professional rodeo and attracts large 
crowds. The smaller one, the Tucson College Rodeo is hosted by the 
University of Arizona Rodeo Team. My wife and I try to attend both rodeos 
each year, but we have been struck by how good some of these college 
students are. In some events, the kids and animals have provided much 
better performances and more exciting rides than the professionals do. We 
actually like this rodeo better in many ways!



Most years these rodeos occur well after the gem  mineral shows end but 
this year, due to some changes in the Grand Canyon Region scheduling, this 
year's college rodeo is not only happening before the professional rodeo 
(usually it is the weekend after the big one ends), but the college rodeo 
is happening during the shows.


I thought some on this list who have never attended a rodeo, or come from 
countries where they do not have rodeos, might be interested in attending.


The rodeo occurs on February 4th, which is a Saturday, and is the same day 
as the Blood Auction.


The main performance begins at 2pm but Slack begins at 8am. (Slack is when 
there are more contestants than can be fit into the normally scheduled 
performance.)


The events at this rodeo are the same you'll see at most any rodeo;

Saddle  Bareback Bronc Riding
Steer Wrestling
Tie Down  Team Roping
Barrel Racing
Breakaway Roping
Goat Tying

and of course everyone's favorite

Bull Riding!

(Sorry, no Mutton Busting)

The rodeo is free as is the parking. It takes place at the Tucson Rodeo 
Grounds. Here is a map:


http://tinyurl.com/7gtsvu7

Note the parking lots are accessed from S 3rd Ave. The other gates will 
probably be closed.


Again, this is a free rodeo and the parking is free also. There are 
usually one or two food vendors on site during the events too.


I hope some of you coming to Tucson in a few weeks can take a few hours 
and come down and enjoy the rodeo!

Richard,

I stayed in Marana last year at the Motel 6 that Ruben mentioned on Ina 
Road.  The prices did not increase for the show and it was an ok Motel 
6.


It's a 10 mile easy freeway drive to the show and not much of a problem at 
all.
I am staying there again this year.  I booked months ago but if I remember 
right it was under $70/night and they do accept AARP cards for discounts.


Mike's description of the prices was spot on.  A room worth $70/night or 
less gets about $180 to $250 per night for the show closer to town.  Way 
out of my price range.


I'll be there the weekend of the bash and auction doing some filming with 
Ruben.  I'll also be running around during the show filming and if anyone 
want to be filmed or show your rooms to the world, I need to kinda get an 
idea.  This will be on MTV (Meteorite TV) at some point during the show 
(at least that's the plan right now!)  There maybe two streaming feeds 
this year, but Ruben and I will work that all out and come up with a 
schedule of sorts,should be fun!

You had better hurry, rooms expensive even for crap at gem show time, if you 
have the ability, best to try and stay in casa grande or benson both about 
30-40 minutes away and 70% cheaper room wise, with your own vehicle it is easy 
to do. Book ahead or you might have to sleep out or pay $200 night for some 
flea-bit dump.

[Ruben Garcia]

Hi Richard,

The Ruben vs Anne TV show should really be called Ruben Loves Anne
Cause we're just playing and are really good friends.

Don't forget though, if you can't make the Tucson Meteorite Show I'll
once again be broadcasting live from the infamous Birthday Bash and
also the Blood Auction. So, if Anne dares or is up for it, we can
always have more friendly banter on LIVE MTV (Meteorite Television)

As for Lodging.  Even when every room in Tucson is booked the Motel 6
off of Ina and I-10 still have plenty of inexpensive rooms. At least
that has always been my last minute room.

Motel 6
4630 W Ina Rd  Tucson, AZ 85741
(520) 744-9300

Hi Richard,

The Ruben vs Anne TV show should really be called Ruben Loves Anne
Cause we're just playing and are really good friends.

Don't forget though, if you can't make the Tucson Meteorite Show I'll
once again be broadcasting live from the infamous Birthday Bash and
also the Blood Auction. So, if Anne dares or is up for it, we can
always have more friendly banter on LIVE MTV (Meteorite Television)

As for Lodging.  Even when every room in Tucson is booked the Motel 6
off of Ina and I-10 still have plenty of inexpensive rooms. At least
that has always been my last minute room.

Motel 6
4630 W Ina Rd  Tucson, AZ 85741
(520) 744-9300

Hello list!

I enjoy the banter betweeen everyone!  Ruben vs. Anne...should become 

a TV
show!  ...as well as Capt. Blood's stellar work for the upcoming 

auction, I

need some advice from anyone who will chime in:

It'll be my first-time Tucson visit.  I'll be driving from Davis, CA.;
hopefully arriving the last week of January and staying at least until
SkyBar and the auction...(fortunately I have a pick-up)...and I need 

some
advice for accommodations.  While I'm up for camping, I do enjoy a 

nice
clean-up and would rather plan for a comfortable / affordable room 

with no
special ammenities, SAVING my money FOR METEORITES !!!  So, who can 

steer me

in a good direction?

Where-o-where?  Should I make a reservation (duh!) and is it too late 

to

secure something worthy (thinking Super 8 kinda place)...

(I knew that would invite some advice!)

Please chime in!

Sincerely,
Richard Montgomery

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson info- Auction

[Michael Blood]

Hi All,
Just to let you know: in the next 24 hrs I will have the
2012 Auction Catalog up. So far I have over 20 photos and
A list of about 60 specimens (remaining photos to be up
In the next 10 days).
Midnight tonight is the last time to get the 12%
Commission rate, after midnight it goes to 14%, so,
If you are considering putting a nice specimen or two
(or more) in, now is the time. If you get me the description
Today and send in the photo within a week I will give you
Today's rate.
  Christmas Season Greetings to All, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Göran Axelsson]

Very well written!

Keeping the results secret will only create doubt in those of us that 
put in a absentee bid and couldn't visit (I live in Sweden) or watch the 
broadcast (I fell asleep).


This year I had a couple of low bids but didn't win any of them. I've 
been a absentee bidder for a couple of years now and won some and lost some.
A couple of times I've put in an absentee bid higher than the winning 
bid but didn't win the piece anyhow as Michael made mistakes during the 
auction. This have happened more than once for me (2007 3 lots, 2009 2 
lots).
If I ask for a list of realised prices in private, what would keep him 
from adjusting it according to my bids to keep me in the dark if he made 
another mistake. Was it a mistake or did he favour one of his friends?


I say, publish the prices to keep the doubt and mistrust out of the auction.

I don't know if I will make any bids next year. It will probably depend 
on if the prices is publicised or not.
The only reason I see to keep the result secret is to keep the auction 
as a dealer - dealer event and to keep the prices down. By revealing 
that you can get a great deal would attract more bidders.


At least I would like to know the final prices of the following lots. I 
also reveal my absentee bids if anyone is interested.


Lot 6 ETw 1 Moss 648mg $45
Lot 71 TM 1 Moldavite $65
Lot 76 DP 2 Lovina (ANOM Iron)$40
Lot 77 DP 3 Hvittis (EL6) $90

I'm a little perplexed over this statement. You've got to remember that

trying to be honest? Not even with the buyers, but with the public that
view this list? We're just adding to meteorite buyers / collectors being
corrupt. We don't need to hide anything and we don't need to give those

I'm sorry, I disagree with this whole thing. Make it be known, make it
be public. That's the only way we're going to move forward from being
negative.  That's just my thoughts and not anyone else's. But I'm a

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Greg Hupe]

Hello Tucson Auction Enthusiasts,

I have no problems with the auction results being publicized, I say go for 
it. But, like I stated before, it would be good for all involved (especially 
new collectors) to have the disclaimer that prices realized do NOT 
particularly reflect retail pricing.


Retail pricing is subjective as discussed here so it is a very difficult, if 
not impossible, job to put together a guide that reflects all levels of 
pricing. A guide that includes; Web Site 'asking' prices, completed eBay 
auctions, completed Tucson Auctions, completed BIG Auction Houses, etc. 
would be a guide that would encompass all levels of 'retail' sales and would 
be a valuable tool for collectors at ALL levels of experience.


In the meantime, I support Michael Blood's auction and will continue to do 
so!


Just my two lunar chips worth!

Best Regards,
Greg

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[cdtucson]

Michael,
First and foremost I would like to apologize if I offended you.
I am truly sorry you felt the need to say these things because I meant nothing 
personal. 
The fact that people favor certain things in collecting was recently discussed 
right here on this list and we all know that hammer would be your favorite 
feature in a meteorite. I like hammers too and people have asked me why we did 
not collect or even photograph the dead animals at the scene of the Carancas 
fall. Well, to be honest, my crew never thought of it. I think it may have to 
do with cultural issues. Our team was mostly Bolivian Catholics.  Enough said. 
Apparently there would have been a market for those dead animal parts but, I 
guess we missed an opportunity there. I had no idea.
As far as *taste* is concerned. I will leave that judgement alone.
And finally, I have no problem understanding people's  
 willingness to pay high dollars for Gems from space. What my biggest problem 
with this concept had only to do with consumer trust. 
These Gems could never be scientifically verified. Or could they at a 
reasonable cost?  That's all. EBay would be flooded with fake Peridot from 
space with certificates of  Authenticity. which can be printed by anybody. It 
could say something like;  I found this meteorite in Kansas and melted the 
metal away myself so, I certify these as authentic Gems from space. As I 
pointed out. there are others that already say this but, in their case it 
happens to be true. I am sure Keith and Dana are legit but there will be 
hundreds of posers to follow. 
In fact it would not surprise me if we begin to see other dead bugs on EBay as 
well. 
Again, nothing personal and please accept my apology.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Michael Blood]

Hi Martin,
My recollection is that there was a jump bid (a bid higher than the
Asked for next increment required to bid) and I did accept it and went
Right to the next increment called for at that level.
Perhaps there was a bid I missed? Or, perhaps you expected me
To then require the next bid to be an increment equal to the jump bid?
If the latter, I explained some auctions past that while people were
Always welcome to jump bid (usually a technique used to shock and
Awe potential competitors) there would not be a following requirement
Of equal degree, but would only be whatever the level increment indicates.
If the former, and I really did somehow miss a jump bid, I apologize
To all concerned. It is not in the interest of anyone to do so.
Sincerely, Michael

 Hello Michael,
 
 Since you brought it up here, 
 
 He could have Jump bid $200 and I would have been in hot pursuit.
 
 I would like to know why the jump bid for the Johnstown individual was not
 accepted by you during the auction?
 
 Thank you.
 
 Martin

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Shawn Alan]

Hello Listers,

I guess if the final value prices got posted on the List from the auction, Mr 
Blood would have done that awhile back ago? But as for the auctions goes, I 
dont see how the final prices can reflect the meteorite market value, prices go 
up and down and auction prices cant gauge the real market value of any given 
meteorite. Also, Jason made a great post about the value of meteorites and what 
collectors look for in determining value, so I think that is also something 
good to think about.

Thank you

I have to agree with John 110%. He said about all that needs said. 
One thing I dont understand is why the auction was considered a wholesale 
event, I never understood it to be as such - no more then ebay auctions and 
from what I have read, some prices were just as above market as others were 
under.

 G'Day Michael, List and All 

 I'm a little perplexed over this statement. You've got to 

 remember that 

 this was a live auction, many people viewed it, there were 

 a lot of 

 comments made. But why are we trying to hide something 

 here? Aren't we 

 trying to be honest? Not even with the buyers, but with the 

 public that 

 view this list? We're just adding to meteorite buyers / 

 collectors being 

 corrupt. We don't need to hide anything and we don't need 

 to give those 

 that frequent these pages fire power to say that we're not 

 legit. 

 

 I'm sorry, I disagree with this whole thing. Make it be 

 known, make it 

 be public. That's the only way we're going to move forward 

 from being 

 negative. That's just my thoughts and not anyone 

 else's. But I'm a 

 little concerned about the non-transparency. Bear with me, 

 I'm not out 

 to condone anybody, but give it some thought. 

 

 Cheers 

 John

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Darryl Pitt]

John and Greg do indeed have terrific points. 

The issue with Mike's Tucson Auction is that the prices attained are, far more 
often than not, anomalously low.  I'm not exactly certain why---but several 
factors come to mind.  To a lesser extent, the same occurred with the Macovich 
Auctions at Tucson...was it a decade ago?  (Wow.)  

I am all for transparency, but transparency can frequently result in 
disinformation if there is no context.  And to be clear, I did not state this 
was a wholesale event.  I suggested that be stated that the auction occurred at 
a wholesale marketplace.  

For me, it's precisely because this is not the same as eBay---this is a 
traditional auction and its perceived gravitas is far greater---that perhaps we 
should be more sensitive to the messages being provided.   Just a thought. 


Nonetheless,  I totally get the opposing point of view. 

All best /  Darryl

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[actionshooting]

Has it ever occurred to anyone that a lot of the people I saw at the auction 
were major dealers and I would suspect they are NOT going to pay retail prices, 
even for rare stuff.
