Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Black Market (Weather Channel)
Someone please tell me where the Black Market is. I would love to see it. Is it an unmarked building in the industrial district of Chicago? What is the code word to gain entry through the forbidden Naugahyde Door? If there is a meteorite black market, then it must be the most highly-kept secret in the world, along with the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body and the identity of the second gunman who shot JFK. I hear every second tuesday of the month is Forbidden Meteorite Day, and all shoppers get a free Berduc stone and a pack of Katol Menthol Light 100's. Best regards, MikeG FWIW - there are MANY more crooked writers than there are meteorite dealers. Look how many writers get outed for plagiarism nowadays, and compare that number to the population of disgraced meteorite dealers - the writers win that dubious distinction with ease.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Black Market (Weather Channel)
Hi yo, I wonder, why authors of such articles never mention, that the participants in that black market are extraordinarily simple minded people. Sittin as a hermit retreated in a cell in the Schaeftlarn monastery trying to get my annual tax declaration ready within less than 4 weeks, I asked myself, why so many people are willing to take the stress of working 60-80 hours a week for meteorites, undercover and in highly criminal circles, taking the risk of decades long imprisonment or even death penalty, like if they would deal with heroin or would smuggle plutonium, when there are only a few single splendid examples of that pack, whose revenues constantly exceed the salary (and pension plan) of a middle school teacher? I guess, they must be either really desperate or remarkably stupid. In former times I thought, such stories would originate from curators coming home, telling them to their wives/husbands to impress them what for a exciting and dangerous job they would have, hoping their better halves would tolerate when Indiana Jones or Lara Croft leaves his/her socks on in bed... but now? To me it seems, that in general the U.S. print media have lost a lot of quality and standards, or at least whenever I'm in USA, I'm astonished how poor the newspapers are compared to European ones. Here in Germany, but also in Austria I've read a lot of really excellent pieces about meteorites in the bigger newspapers, and as far as I remember (also in TV) the monetary aspects never was pointed out and of course that illegality-BS neither.
