Hi again Steve #1,

Agreed, that sounds to me like a Liquidation Sale, or maybe an

This is meteorite related in that, well, if this finding pans out, then the
element has to be supernova generated, and present in meteorites (and meteorite
parent bodies), too. And, depending on the chemical propert

Hey Guys,
I really didn't want to get into this yet, as I wanted to be the first to
try this on Ebay. Talk about it too much, and someone else might try this
before I get to do it first!
But I will explain it so you guys don't get too confused.

Exactly as I said, confusing, and stupid.
List the item for one cent, let people fight it out. I
often have items sell at or near one cent, so those
buyers reap the rewards, or like last week, people
fought it out to get a couple of my pieces, that went
for many times what I would have sold for, s

Hello Mike and List,
The fun part of it is getting the opportunity to get a 1 cent meteorite.
Now we all know that the price would not get the low, either by Steve not
letting it or someone getting it before that time. It may be a gimmick, but
it sure is a fun way to buy meteorites. Steve has al
See what I am getting at? It is a stupid idea, done to
fool people into bidding on things and no one has an
idea what the hell is going on. I remember another
disastrous auction like that in Tucson last year,
there was no repeat this year thank god.
Wanna have a sale, then put the meteorites on eBa
Hi Darren,
You might get away with calling it a "Dutch Auction" by someone else's
definition (wikipedia isn't always right? I dont know).
I've always thought of a Dutch Auction as being an auction where shares
of items are available to several people and the successful lowest
bidder determin

I don't think what Steve is offering fits the definition of a reverse auction:

Jason, it is stupid, it is a circus act, and I think
it is a scam. So let me get this, I bid one cent on
every piece right now, now gve me my 1 cent meteorites

call it a day.
Of course that isnt how it works, so tell me how the

I am fired up about this reverse auction also. This could be just the idea
ebay has been looking for.
Can't wait to participate.

Hello List and Steve,
I for one am very excited about your reverse auction. I remember getting
some great deals on some really rare specimens a few years ago and it was a
great deal of fun doing it.
Take Care,

Hello Al and List,
Powellsville is a very incredible meteorite with some very rare red crystals
that Dirk Ross spoke about on the list a few years ago. To help with your
accounting I have a 268 gram slice.

Hi Steve #1, list members,
When you think about it, a "reverse auction" isn't an auction at all.
It's a normal sale where the seller says "negotiable".
I agree it is confusing to call it an auction, but it is the way most
nice things are sold, like houses, cars, etc. (and costly special

I think it is retarded and a scam to make something
simple like an auction confusing.
Ebay works fine, there is no room for shill bidding,
scheming or questions. If you have something to sell,
ebay it Steve. I personally like to bid but don't
have time for those kinds of games.

Hell All,
I am curious, if anyone on the list remembers the
"Steve Arnold Famous Reverse Auctions" I have
held in the past?
If you do, and especially if you bought something
via the old Famous Reverse Auctions, please
contact me directly off the list.
I am thinking about doing one again,
Hi All,

Greetings all,
Having purchased most of all the Powellsville, Ohio material, I can
account for about 4,966gm of it. With Casper offering
an additional 4.5 kg of material that means there is 9,466 grams of this
material total that I can account for. I know for a fact there is other

Hi Michael,
According to Encyclopedia of Meteorites, "A 4310 g stone was found ~40 cm
underground by a man digging out a tree stump in his yard. "
I would think this would be the weight when it was found.
