But eBay is not interested (or capable) of determining what a legit meteorite is. If meteorites become problematic for eBay, they might ban their listings entirely. Or they might get overzealous and start hazing meteorite sellers the way they do with sellers of pearls. (Just ask Dean Bessey about that one) The best thing a meteorite buyer can do (in regards to eBay) is to educate themselves on space rocks. There is a lot of good information available on the web for the interested newbie, if they spend some time looking. Some of these bogus listings we see don't make sense to me. It must cost a good bit of cash to list a $20,000 item, less yet a $200,000 item. The listing fee alone is nothing to scoff at. It's costing some of these people a ton of cash to list these specimens and eBay is cashing in whether the rock sells or not. Take the Martian Blood Vessel guy for example - he keeps listing the same high-dollar items over and over, and nobody is buying them. So he must be in pretty deep already on listing fees alone. I bet that guy has spent a couple of grand on listing fees alone. He needs to sell one of those specimens just to recoup his listing fees.

I wonder how Steve C.'s press conference went at the Montrose Library? Apparently the media attention he received became addictive. I see he made himself president of UNCO meteorites to give himself an air of importance and authority. He says it has nothing to do with money but is asking millions of dollars for his self-proclaimed planetary pieces. Now he has taken it to the next step by claiming to have found alien lifeforms. The common denominators seem to be the need for fame and money, mostly fame. This guy should think about going into the entertainment industry with such story telling abilities. It seems like a waste of his talent to simply write eBay descriptions and hold press conferences at libraries.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ice Meteorites from Jesus
Hi BerndList. There was a fascinating study done some time ago on a large sampling of folks who believed the world was going to end on a specific day. When the world didn't end on that day, the majority of participants felt they were blessed by having been provided more time to convince even more people that the world was going to end on a future as-yet-to-be-determined date. In the film Annie Hall, the lead character, Alvy Singer, tells a joke as an allegory to the mystery of relationships: 'A man complains to a psychiatrist that his brother thinks he's a chicken.' 'Well, why don't you turn him in?' says the doctor. The man replies, 'I would...but I need the eggs.' And Alvy Singer concludeswe all need the eggs. I'm just not interested in learning what Snyder's eggs might be because, well, reality should matter. ;-) On Nov 29, 2010, at 5:22 PM, bernd.pa...@paulinet.de wrote: I prayed for Jesus to send me an ice meteorite, because I knew it would be quite valuable,... = I p r a y e d = v a l u a b le ! ! !

The press conference is tomorrow. This could be as big as Roswell! I can't wait: http://www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/will-proof-of-extraterrestrial-life-be-revealed-at-a-michigan-ramada-inn/19735919 Will Proof of Extraterrestrial Life Be Revealed at a Ramada Inn? Larry Knowles AOL News (Nov. 29) -- A Michigan man claiming to possess an ice meteorite rich in extraterrestrial organisms will announce in a news conference Tuesday that alien life, at long last, has been found. The announcement will take place at a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich. I prayed for Jesus to send me an ice meteorite, because I knew it would be quite valuable, Duane P. Snyder, 65, said of the chunk of ice he found on a South Haven roadway in 2000. Valuable indeed. For centuries, humankind has sought confirmation that it isn't alone in the universe. If Snyder's claim is accurate, the South Haven resident will be catapulted to worldwide fame, and the Ramada Inn, 50 miles west of Kalamazoo, will likely become an iconic landmark for the human race. Duane P. Snyder E.T. may phone home -- from a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich. The red object above was found embedded in a chunk of ice in 2000. The owner of the chunk, Duane P. Snyder, believes the squiggle is an alien life form and will discuss his finding at the Ramada Inn this week. In March 2000, Snyder noticed several chunks of ice on the road near his home. Since it hadn't snowed for weeks, he deduced that the ice must have been an ice meteorite. After gathering up a few pieces and stashing them in his freezer, he spent the next 10 years trying to convince scientists to analyze the frozen mass. However, Snyder received little interest from the scientific community, and in September, he paid to have chemical analyses performed by two commercial laboratories. What the labs found -- that samples contained particles with unique molecular structures -- convinced Snyder that he indeed had in his possession alien life forms. He has set up a website, snydericyrite.com, where people can purchase the lab reports and photos of the particles. He's given the particles descriptive names, such as Red Watani Worm, Six Legged Life Form and Clear Snakelike Life Form. In a phone interview with AOL News, Snyder emphasized that more rigorous analysis is needed to determine just what sort of alien life form he has, adding that the prohibitive cost has so far prevented him from getting tests done. I'm hoping some scientist calls and says, 'Hey, Duane, I'll do it for you,' Snyder said. Last week, Snyder took strides toward getting that call. He issued a press release, under the headline Ice Meteorite Found With Extraterrestrial Life-Forms, in which he announced Tuesday's news conference. The release received worldwide distribution and, according to Snyder, media outlets from Germany, Mexico and Sweden plan to cover the story. All the attention means that, for a brief moment, the Ramada Inn in South Haven will be at the center of the world -- or, in this case, universe. And that has the staff at the Ramada Inn slightly anxious. We haven't had a chance to speak with Mr. Snyder, Saima Farrukh, director of operations for the Ramada Inn in South Haven, told AOL News. And we're all kind of curious to know what kind of life form he has. Farrukh added that the press release only piqued her curiosity. It didn't give a lot of info, she said, so I was going through my chemistry book to find out what the terms mean. Snyder, a former Air Force mechanic and self-described inventor, spent a good portion of his life looking for meteorites before stumbling on his momentous block of ice. I'd been hunting meteorites for a long time, he said, and I kept finding 'meteor-wrongs.' __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I prayed for Jesus to send me an ice meteorite, because I knew it would be quite valuable, Duane P. Snyder, 65, said of the chunk of ice he found on a South Haven roadway in 2000. This is very reminiscent of the 'Frass' rock that Mike Moore claimed was a Mars meteorite. Moore said the rock he found was a sign from God, and it would be worth a lot of money if it was a Mars meteorite. He also claimed the dead spider he found in a crack in the rock was proof it was from Mars. A visual inspection of the rock indicated the rock was not even a meteorite, and a lab analysis of the rock confirmed it was a volcanic Earth rock, not uncommon in the region where Moore found the rock.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ice Meteorites From Jesus
Not to ask a stupid question, but, isn't it safe to assume that ice originating in outer space would never be able to make it down to earth's surface due to the heat and pressure of the ablation process? So even if there were blocks of alien filled ice floating around in space, wouldn't these be melted/vaporized/destroyed by the time they hit the surface?

If Snyder's claim is accurate, the South Haven resident will be catapulted to worldwide fame, and the Ramada Inn, 50 miles west of Kalamazoo, will likely become an iconic landmark for the human race. Duane P. Snyder E.T. may phone home -- from a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich. The red object above was found embedded in a chunk of ice in 2000. The owner of the chunk, Duane P. Snyder, believes the squiggle is an alien life form and will discuss his finding at the Ramada Inn this week. In March 2000, Snyder noticed several chunks of ice on the road near his home. Since it hadn't snowed for weeks, he deduced that the ice must have been an ice meteorite. After gathering up a few pieces and stashing them in his freezer, he spent the next 10 years trying to convince scientists to analyze the frozen mass. However, Snyder received little interest from the scientific community, and in September, he paid to have chemical analyses performed by two commercial laboratories. What the labs found -- that samples contained particles with unique molecular structures -- convinced Snyder that he indeed had in his possession alien life forms. He has set up a website, snydericyrite.com, where people can purchase the lab reports and photos of the particles. He's given the particles descriptive names, such as Red Watani Worm, Six Legged Life Form and Clear Snakelike Life Form. In a phone interview with AOL News, Snyder emphasized that more rigorous analysis is needed to determine just what sort of alien life form he has, adding that the prohibitive cost has so far prevented him from getting tests done. I'm hoping some scientist calls and says, 'Hey, Duane, I'll do it for you,' Snyder said. Last week, Snyder took strides toward getting that call. He issued a press release, under the headline Ice Meteorite Found With Extraterrestrial Life-Forms, in which he announced Tuesday's news conference. The release received worldwide distribution and, according to Snyder, media outlets from Germany, Mexico and Sweden plan to cover the story. All the attention means that, for a brief moment, the Ramada Inn in South Haven will be at the center of the world -- or, in this case, universe. And that has the staff at the Ramada Inn slightly anxious. We haven't had a chance to speak with Mr. Snyder, Saima Farrukh, director of operations for the Ramada Inn in South Haven, told AOL News. And we're all kind of curious to know what kind of life form he has. Farrukh added that the press release only piqued her curiosity. It didn't give a lot of info, she said, so I was going through my chemistry book to find out what the terms mean. Snyder, a former Air Force mechanic and self-described inventor, spent a good portion of his life looking for meteorites before stumbling on his momentous block of ice. I'd been hunting meteorites for a long time, he said, and I kept finding 'meteor-wrongs.' __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list

Re: [meteorite-list] Ice Meteorites From Jesus
Hi Folks, I'm not saying this to bash eBay. But eBay is not interested (or capable) of determining what a legit meteorite is. If meteorites become problematic for eBay, they might ban their listings entirely. Or they might get overzealous and start hazing meteorite sellers the way they do with sellers of pearls. (Just ask Dean Bessey about that one) The best thing a meteorite buyer can do (in regards to eBay) is to educate themselves on space rocks. There is a lot of good information available on the web for the interested newbie, if they spend some time looking. Some of these bogus listings we see don't make sense to me. It must cost a good bit of cash to list a $20,000 item, less yet a $200,000 item. The listing fee alone is nothing to scoff at. It's costing some of these people a ton of cash to list these specimens and eBay is cashing in whether the rock sells or not. Take the Martian Blood Vessel guy for example - he keeps listing the same high-dollar items over and over, and nobody is buying them. So he must be in pretty deep already on listing fees alone. I bet that guy has spent a couple of grand on listing fees alone. He needs to sell one of those specimens just to recoup his listing fees.

Listing/Insertion fees aren't actually that much at all... http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html Max is about $2 for auction style listing and a .50 fee for buy it now. It's the Final Value Fee which eats into the listing price IF the item sells: 9.0% of sale price (maximum charge $50.00) Real Estate and other unique categories charge upwards of ~$20 per listing...

If meteorites become problematic for eBay, they might ban their listings entirely. Or they might get overzealous and start hazing meteorite sellers the way they do with sellers of pearls. (Just ask Dean Bessey about that one) The best thing a meteorite buyer can do (in regards to eBay) is to educate themselves on space rocks. There is a lot of good information available on the web for the interested newbie, if they spend some time looking. Some of these bogus listings we see don't make sense to me. It must cost a good bit of cash to list a $20,000 item, less yet a $200,000 item. The listing fee alone is nothing to scoff at. It's costing some of these people a ton of cash to list these specimens and eBay is cashing in whether the rock sells or not. Take the Martian Blood Vessel guy for example - he keeps listing the same high-dollar items over and over, and nobody is buying them. So he must be in pretty deep already on listing fees alone. I bet that guy has spent a couple of grand on listing fees alone. He needs to sell one of those specimens just to recoup his listing fees.

I wonder how Steve C.'s press conference went at the Montrose Library? Apparently the media attention he received became addictive. I see he made himself president of UNCO meteorites to give himself an air of importance and authority. He says it has nothing to do with money but is asking millions of dollars for his self-proclaimed planetary pieces. Now he has taken it to the next step by claiming to have found alien lifeforms. The common denominators seem to be the need for fame and money, mostly fame. This guy should think about going into the entertainment industry with such story telling abilities. It seems like a waste of his talent to simply write eBay descriptions and hold press conferences at libraries. The sad thing is that in his mind, he surely is the world's best meteorite hunter and should be recognized as such.
