Hi Richard
Seems we just completely disagree. I won't reiterate my points again, but we
have survived in this hobby for several decades since the first large dealers
began without a price guide and survived quite well. If there is a place for a
guide then why hasn't one stuck over that time
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
Retail price guides and auction results have a very real and useful place in
any collectibles market, especially for a market as small and thin as the
meteorite market.
I completely agree with this sentiment. How is it that a guide (with
appropriate caveats included) cannot be of benefit
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.
Hi List...(I'm the other Richard...but not from Chicago.)
One thing that seems to be missing in this discussion is that collecting
meteorites, TKWs, rarity, figuring their associated values, the size of the
collector base, etc...is not a static model. Of course all of this changes
over time
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
Hi List,
Sales of dead bugs are hereby suspended until further notice ;)

Hi Richard
I believe that price guides, at least with collectibles, give a false sense of
market value. Believe me I would love to get 20/g out of my 350g Homestead,
but because there are so many factors that determine a meteorites value (maybe
many more factors than any collectible), I know
Well, dang, Richard ... here you go bringing reason and logic into the mix.
Just think where we would be if we all did that ... order would reign! We
CAN'T have that, can we?
Tongue firmly in my cheek,

Matt,
I guess I'm looking at things from a beginner collector point of view as it
wasn't too long ago I that beginner. Not too far beyond that either, but I
digress.
I think that maybe the size of the task and the amount of time involved to keep
it up to date might

I would suggest you never do business with meteorite dealer
You think may jerk you around as you suggested I might below.

Hi Martin,
My recollection is that there was a jump bid (a bid higher than the

Right to the next increment called for at that level.
Perhaps there was a bid I missed? Or, perhaps you expected me

Hi Gang,
I've been sitting on the sidelines, eating popcorn, and enjoying this
discussion. I thought I would mention one factor about
pricing/valuation that is often overlooked nowadays.
Some dealers, myself included, do not sell all specimens by weight.
They are sold by eye and by the piece.

Thanks Michael, for everything. And thanks for sending me the complete

Yes, I was also quite offended by the mere suggestion of what someone
