Hi, All,
Any object falling to Earth from a decaying orbit from East to West would be
in RETROGRADE orbit, which would be unusual for a man-made satellite. I don't
actually know if there are any retrograde satellites (help, experts!) but it's
hard to do, very expensive in deltaV, so I doubt
Hi,
'Supply and demand', that's what determines prices, there is a lot more material
around, these days, just look at the number of people selling stuff.
Having said that I have noticed that there are less and less larger specimens around,
everything seems to get cut these days!

Hi Mark and all,
Regarding the small pieces:
I guess if you keep the piece small and start it on ebay at at 99 cents, but
charge four dollars for shipping, you can make money even if you get one bid
(excluding overseas shipping). Postage in a small padded envelop is less
than a dollar which
:-)
Problem is that ebay wants a share of what you earn. And not too many
people are willing to pay $ 4.00 for national shipping.
It's funny to see how much people charge for international shipping, by
the way. Some do it for $1 (well, one does *g*), most are under $5.
Some, the greedy ones,
But it also depends on which form of shipping you use. I ALWAYS use
registered mail overseas which is AT LEAST 7.00 from Colorado. It is the
only way I can protect myself. If you folks don't like to pay the
customs and extra fees for more secure shipping then why do I have to
replace the piece
Mike Farmer, I believe, ships for $1 worldwide.
The Hupes ship for app. $5.
Registered mail, at least that's my experience, is more likely to NOT
arrive. I have received about 300 meteorites from the US so far, a
single unregistered mail has been lost, and two of app. 10 registered
ones haven't
It's funny to see how much people charge for international shipping, by

That's one of many things you have to say good about Mike Farmer, $1 to any
where in the world. For a short while,
And what I forgot to say: there are OF COURSE sellers who charge $7 for
unregistered mail. Those were the ones I am talking about :-)

Hi List,
Priority mail cost $3.85 and that is exactly what we charge on smaller
items. Do not forget that multiple orders are combined. On the average
seven pieces are shipped in one package making it about 50 cents an item,
and all show up within 3 days. I would say this is not a bad deal.
Hi Bernhard, Matt, and All,
Registered mail packages don't get lost - you'll have to start an
official inquiry, and you'll find out where the package is. That's
at least my experience.
BTW, I only send registered (national, and international) for two
reasons: If I don't send my specimens
Hi List,
I usually charge $3 for shipping on order under $200. That is $1 for a
padded envelope, ~$1.00-$1.50 postage, and $0.45 for delivery
conformation. Any money made on shipping is likely 50 cents or less,
but often I absorb a greater cost when I include the specimen in a
plastic case if

On some of the issues that Bernhard raised - it does cost around $5 to $7
to send from the UK to the States - allowing for the purchase of a padded

Shipping, in my opinion, should be a minimal part of a purchase. I
understand it's an important part, but low shipping and good service will
always bring a customer back for repeat sales. My shipping costs are based
on weight. 95% of all meteorites I sell ship for $1.00 and
