Unfortunately, a 2 gram piece for $100- today will probably sell on ebay for
$10- next August. That is my prediction.

Sorry to disturb Mike Farmer, who's probably still in the wrong place, but I
recorded my brightest ever fireball early this morning. I estimate it was
magnitude -18, at least 100 times brighter than the full Moon. It exploded
near Colorado Springs. I don't have much information yet, but the raw
My observation concerning new falls IPO is simple - there are some
folks that the new material and they want it now. They are willing to
pay the higher price. Those who wait usually...and I emphasize
usually will get it at a much lower price. The two keys are timing
and some good luck.

Some of my favourite newspaper columns are the ones I didn't write.
Consider,
I think the next time the U.S. has another significant fall (..like Park
Forest), American collectors and instituntions should have first dibs on the
material. You know, a good 3-6 month head start over non-Americans. I still
don't have a nice piece for my collection, and I was in Park Forest
Also, I just want to make notice that I did not, and have not contacted
McCartney or Sonny in regards to acquiring a piece of this new fall. Laws are
laws people, whether you agree with them or not.

Ryan,
I'm not sure I understand your logic here.
If you wished American Institutions would care enough to pay a fair retail
price to the legal owners of new meteorites, then I think we would all agree
with you.
But America has the principles of freedom and property rights that go
Ryan,
There is no law in Canada that you can't contact McCartney or Sonny.
In fact, you are free to buy whatever you want from them.
The export laws only affect exporting of the specimens. No one has
suggested that you can't own one of the rocks McCartney or Sonny found. You
just
Yes, and that will take 3-6 months, so why even bother contacting them now? At
this time next year pieces will be able to be obtained at a more realistic
price, so you'll be better off waiting anyhow. And do you really think I
beleive that none of it will get smuggled across that border into
Perhaps I should have left out the word Institutions. My intent was to
discuss the acquisition by private collectors only, being that Institutions
clearly have an unequal advantage when it comes to acquiring fresh falls. More
so in Canada as opposed to the U.S., however. But when the government

Hi Folks!
I have an opportunity to buy some meteorites from a fellow collector who
is looking to free up some cash for Christmas. He has offered me some
interesting pieces, and some of them are rare types. My knowledge of
market prices on some of these pieces is lacking, so I am appealing to

I agree 100% on this. $50 per gram is too high, the Carancas for example was
$100 per gram at first, now it can be had for under $20 per gram.

In my opinion, from the info I have seen I would be willing to pay more then
$10 per gram for fresh material, however I do think $50 is simply too much for
what looks to be an ordinary chondrite.
I am hopefull that the material will not rust too bad during all this snow, and

All this talk about meteorites not being able to come out of Canada has me

Good Point Mike,
I am thinking that there will be a increase in Campo prices due to the new laws.
Another illegal meteorite, Berduc... It is widely available for sale on places
like Ebay and a few dealers also offer it online.
Not too long ago someone from the Metlist offered it in a rather discrete
fashion -
