Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk purchase
Well after two months I finally received my Chelyabinsk. It was exactly as advertised and pretty cool. The kicker is after trying to resolve it with the seller and could not, I filed a claim with eBay. They refunded my money on the same day I received my package. (Murphy) Well needless to say come Monday I will contact eBay to resend the seller his money back. Upon examination of the package he sent it when he stated he did, we just could not track it. This restores my faith in humanity. I would like to thank all you naysayers out there that slammed me for taking a chance and give you food for thought, better late than never. For everyone who supported my actions, humanity 1, doubters 0.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk purchase
Pretty amazing that I wake up to a threatening email from our favorite Count suggesting I libeled and slandered him, all after he did just that to me by suggesting I use my meteorite sales money to fund girlfriends. If that is not slander and libel, then I don't know what is. Then, minutes later a public email from Paul Swartz to the list suggest exactly the same thing. Paul, do you work for Count Diero? Are you a royal staff member of his court? What title does that bring if you are working for a Count? Does it come with good pay and benifits? Legal representation from his lordship? Shall I name you in any lawsuit I might bring against Count Diero? As a member of his staff doing his dirty work on the list I might do just that. Or are you going to step back and keep out of this one?

Hello Michael and list, Again, the money is not an issue since I paid through PayPal. The reason I took a chance was that I wanted to find a fresh specimen and was willing to take a small risk for a big reward. I felt spending less than $200.00 was worth it.

I also bught from common villagers who had found out about Ebay from selling car parts. Both of them turned out to be real gentlmen, but it took longer to receive them. We have some self appointed Masters of the Art for which the finding, buying, trading and selling of things meteoric is the way they pay the rent and send the girl friend flowers, so don't expect a pat on the back and a generous little tip on how to save a buck, or cut a corner drom them..

Count Diero, I wouldn't sell to you if you offered me double. There would be some scam involved:) I did not say anything about our known friends in other places.

The seller I purchased mine from stated that he sent it to me on March 11, 2013, I have yet to receive it. I want to be prudent and seek council from you before I make the decision to put a claim into PayPal. It has been a little more than three weeks, could someone more experienced in shipping to and from Russia please advise if I am correct in being a little concerned or should I give it a few more weeks. I have questioned my seller to this and have not received a satisfactory response. Yes I know the danger of dealing with someone who is a new seller, however since I used PayPal I felt assured that if it did not work out I would be able to recoup my funds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk purchase
OK, OK, guys. No need to get all upset, there is another way to get some very good pieces of Chelyabinsk. In less than 2 weeks Dima and Serge will be right here in Denver for a Mineral show, I know they are coming and I know they are bring some pieces because they told me so. And I know that Dima was one of the first guy on the site of the fall because he even appeared in one of the earliest reports done by the BBC. So either drive up to Denver, or tell me what you want and I'll be the messenger. The Show is April 19-20-21. See you there! Anne M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk purchase
I got it myself in Russia, I would have it no other way, with our Russian friends to share the fun with and to help introduce me to their land. We are all happy, we can all have some of this great meteorite, and we can all support field work. Yes, it is important for people to support us hunters, yes, we need to make a profit or pretty soon there will be no hunters left. If people refuse to support us hunters, then you can get it yourself in the future, and since I rarely run into competition on these foreign hunts, I doubt much of that will happen. It was a great event and no meteorite collection will be complete without Chelyabinsk. The whole world saw it, and the whole world wants a piece of that history-making event. Sadly the knives always come out when someone actually makes a buck. Michael Farmer On Apr 5, 2013, at 3:11 PM, Anne Black impact...@aol.com wrote: OK, OK, guys.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk purchase
Wow I didn't expect so many responses. So let me be more specific: No, I will not be buying a whole bunch for myself, maybe one fragment to make thin-sections, that's it (everybody has it so why should I be like everybody??) ;-) So if you want me to do some shopping for you, tell me exacty what you want (size, whole, broken,etc) and a price limit would be good too, because I don't know what Dima/Serge's prices will be. A phone number could be helpful too so I can tell you what it is I am looking at. A quick payment thru Paypal will be appreciated, and I will mail it to you right after the show. Any other questions?
