You didn't buy that Chelyabinsk from me, I never sold for that price. And I'm
sorry, but a 10,000 ton impactor flooded the market with more material than the
market could consume. Classic supply and demand. Don't worry about it. Since

I'm simply shocked at the seeming lack of knowledge I'm seeing lately. Between
the people who still think eBay is relevant to the fact that a Howardite fall
seems blasé compared to incredible Morasko. I am flabbergasted that the new
collectors/dealers see clueless as to exactly what an extraordi
Collectors, like dealers are all different. Everyone has an opinion,
and a particular style of collecting, no big deal.

It is a myth that witnessed falls appreciate at a greater price than finds.
Finds reached rock bottom prices several years ago. I know because it
pained me to see NWA Howardites sometimes selling for just over a
$1.00/gram. Now these same Howardites are fetching about $5.00/gram.
Speculation
Michael,
Seriously! John is a collector and enthusiastic about meteorites. Maybe you
have bought and sold $150k of Bingol, but that doesn't give you the right to
insult people. Why not keep your personal business dealings to yourself? You
work hard for your living, you may even be the top gross
My, my Michael...
Bottom feeder? Is that me? I guess so... Me who has collected many hundreds
of meteorite specimens on the budget of a Medical School student.
How many collectors are out there just like me, or very similar? Most people
are collecting on a real budget, and happy to have a
Hi,
Generally speaking - and with the possible exception of crazy rare
Black Beauty type material - falls hold their value, and rise in value
much better than finds. Morasko and Campo (rusting or otherwise) are
not even close.

Comparing a howardite fall to Morasko? A frigging rotten old iron that can be
found by the ton? Identical to campo? Please, these people need to go find a
meteorite Walmart. Leave the actual good stuff to the professionals?
I've already bought and sold more than $150,0

And who do you think paid them that
money? By the way, I'm almost sold out. As usual the people who don't have it
are poo-pooing it. Anyone who tries to act like this howardite fall is lame,
one of a handful ever and first one ever where small perfect complete oriented
stones are available to
Like a lot of collectors, I paid way too much for it several years after the
fall when meteorite collecting was at it peek around 2003. I learned
shortly afterwards not to buy into the hype that centers around new falls
like Park Forest.

Hi Adam,
I purchased Claxton shortly after it fell. I paid much less than $140 per
gram. When did you buy it?

That last piece of Claxton I sold only went for $140.00 a gram at a heavily
advertised, non-eBay auction according to my accurate books. Peekskill is
not moving off of shelves all that quickly these days having seen the same
pieces listed on the same websites for over a decade.

HI,
With great respect, Adam, your references to Claxton and Peekskill do not
comport with what I've read -- as well was what I've experienced -- and I don't

Speaking of planetary, it is ridiculous to think that some dealers are
asking more for a Howardite than a Martian fall like Zagami. Zagami has
less available weight and a better story and still will not fetch the higher
prices it once did. It is not the collectors fault that dealers pay too

Hi Everyone,
I have been following the Bingol fall as closely as possible and here
is why I think this fall is not overpriced.

Mendy,
Currently, if you search for "Morasko meteorite" on ebay, you get about 70
results that are actual meteorites, not labels. Mind you, better than 60% of
them are listed by one seller, who could withdrawal them at any moment, and
they are not all large attractive slices.
If you search for
Hello Ruben and John
I think with any fall it will be over priced but in a few months the
value should fall. To be honest there isn't any thing special with the
actual fall. The only thing that might cause this to go up in price is
some scientist coins up a new chemical in this type of meteorite.
John,
There is a great deal of Morasko and there will, in the end, be not that much
Bingol. The fact that there are many crusted individuals is a boon for
collectors of most any budget. It may seem like a lot now because the market is
"flooded" but that won't be the case in 6 months for sure a
Hi John,
I completely understand what you mean, as I have made a great living
selling meteorites of all types over the last 18 years.
However, history has proven that while most meteorites do go up in
value over time - rare witnessed falls almost always appreciate in
value dramatically.
Which ex
Ruben,
For 450$ you can get a 3g piece of Bingol (that you need a loop to really
enjoy) or you can get a 177g etched slice of Morasko that looks phenomenal in
your collection.
Added to this, that Bingol piece really isn't any harder to find for the buyer
than Morasko, and in the long run will p
Hi John,
It's a howarite fall.
In my opinion it's probably about once in 20-30 year type thing.
Expensive? Yes, but I think not over priced - at least not for what
it is.
Other achondrite falls like Passamonte - $1000 per gram

Hi all,
From what I hear it's mostly because it's very expensive - even out in
the field. I just spent 10's of thousands of dollars for a handful of
nice but very small 100 % crusted individuals.
Most are already sold, but I'll post the last few of them for sale very soon!

I may be crucified for saying this, but it's a little bit ridiculous...
So many specimens and demanding so high a price... Just feels ridiculous.
