Hi Michael, Steve, Tett and All,
I agree with you all. That's why I usually do not react as you don't Tett,

easy to delete a post when the subject does not seem to be interesting!

Hi,
I do not know if selling prices should be 'published' or not, that decision
definitly stands 'in the hands' of the seller and should be respected as
such.
However I agree that the price of a meteorite is definitely what someone is

Hi,
it's a little bit strange. Every auctioneer or auction house publishes the
results, even such like Christie's, Sotheby's ect, which deal with much more
sensible, unique and expensive items as meteorites are. I see there no
problem, as long as the anonymity of the buyers is respected.

wrong. This cubes are giving a scale for the viewer of the picture being
able to estimate the steric dimensions, the size of the specimen. They are a
cubic centimeter.
They are more suitable for size comparation as for instance holding the
piece in the hand on the picture,
