G'day List,
I have a question I'm hoping someone may be able to answer as I don't know
if I have this right. My (basic) understanding is that the silicate parts of
a silicated iron are actually Winonaite material. When this silicate
material is found without iron, then they are classified as
Hello Jeff, All,
An excellent point - it's hardly a question since your hypotheses were
spot-on.
All of these paired metal-rich winonaites are actually *the same
meteorite* as the silicated iron NWA 2680.

Hello List:
I have heard that the number of NWA finds is decreasing. I was wondering, does
anyone have any plots showing this, or documentation? Perhaps some plots of

but that would take a lot of time and wanted to
I usually don't sell on ebay, but when I did sell a few items, I put in the
actual estimated cost for shipping the item instead of using ebay's
calculator. The actual cost was always higher than what their calc came up
with and I got a warning that my price was higher than it should have been.
On further thought, allow me to clarify, so I am not misconstrued.
I do not advocate cheating eBay out of money or stealing for them. I
did not bring up that idea and I do not condone it.
I joined eBay back in 1999 and the atmosphere was entirely different
and more positive then. You never
Hi Richard, hope you have been good.
You are right. To circumvent ebay fees by increasing shipping is a violation of
ebay rules. Anyone who is a TRS would get it taken.
I agree with Mike. Let's take our meteorites to websites and focus on
advertising them.
That's what I am doing. I will still
Bernd, All,
Thank you for this info brend. Glad you are back.
This is very interesting. It is yet another case where O-isotopes rule!
Even though by definition these Winonaites are the same as silicated irons,
the O-Isotopes move them up to a higher status as Winonaites.
This was also done on
Hi Michael,
Everyone here knows I'm no meteorite dealer, but I do have my own business. My
web presence does cost me and as the volume or features on my site goes up, so
do my costs. I'm sure ebay's costs to provide the same level of service for a
larger and larger base of buyers and sellers
Hi Richard,
I agree. eBay would catch on to this scheme pretty quick.

So far no one has mentioned the most obvious part. This idea of small
product price/high shipping price is not new. It was pounded into the ground
by sellers and it is a trick that became synonymous (in the eBay meteorite
circle) with the fake meteorite sellers passing off hematite as
That trick has been around since the beginning of eBay. It's now officially

I'd venture to say that auctioning something at Christie's will bring in
more buyers and a higher gavel price than my neighborhood auction house.
I guess there is always garage and yard sales. :O)

Hello,
Ebay is just fine...it is the portal to the world market place...internet wise.
Seriously doubt you can build a website and get the traffic,promotion, and
marketing that ebay provides. My ebay store gets 50,000 visitors a month and

vendors, mall stores, kiosks, auction houses, and home tupperware

Hi Listees...
I have a 2g Zagami fragment that needs to be sold. It has a very cool pyramid
shape consisting of two fragmented sides, a large cut and polished face, and an

scale, but I'll sell it at an even 2
