Agreed... Though I don't think I have to say some people tend to blur
the line and confuse and extend the policy to include any item listed
rather than simply applying the rule to an item that has bids for which

Of course - hence the differential weathering rates of Campos (old
versus new), to name one of many examples.
Perhaps the best example of such weathering can be seen on irons from
Gibeon. I unfortunately don't have a copy of Buchwald here, but if

On a side note, because of this listing, I made a $2200- sale off of my

website name has had it's benefits over the years. Ebay does not allow .com
When it comes to wheeling and dealing meteorites, I'm so far just a

Not a rub against watchers. It really does not matter to me. I was just

Dear List Members,
I have several auctions that are due to end today, tomorrow and the
following day. I loaded a special 10-day auction due to end this week as I do
every September. You will find much larger pieces than I normally offer on eBay
and started all of them out at just 99 cents.
Hi:
I have finished the first round of updates with some of the items I picked up
at the Denver show.

If you see something you like and care to make an offer, please drop me an
email.
There are some very nice items.

Hi Jeff et al.,
I think the prettiest Murchison I have ever seen belongs to Al Lang. He was
kind enough to let me pick it up and examine it up close. It's perfectly
oriented and complete. Here's the picture on Al's site:

Ah, excellent clarification - makes a lot more sense, but -
I'd still have to say that any lines on the surface of the iron
would be artifacts of the corrosive process or of your cleaning of the
iron. I put surface in quotes, because, as has already been stated,

The process you have performed is called Reverse Electrolysis. It is
