I tried to contact them but there contact link is not valid. Does anybody know how to contact the person(s) that run this website: http://meteoritesaler.com They have been publishing copyrighted material and some of the closing auction prices are inaccurately and ridiculously low. I had a customer thinking I was asking too much, even when offering an item way below wholesale because of this website. It is hard enough to break even these days and I don't need a site publishing inaccurate auction results.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question meteoritesaler.com
Hi Adam, This looks one of those rapidly thrown-together Wordpress sites. It's probably not even monitored by a real person. They probably have bots scanning the web for meteorite tags and reading RSS feeds of websites to get their prices. This doesn't explain why the prices are wrong, but the site smells of contrivance to me. Their network Who-Is info has been cloaked. I would wager that the same person(s) probably have a dozen or more sites like this that are geared towards different types of collectibles or auctions. It is aggravating to see sites like this poaching copyright material and damaging the market by misquoting prices. My advice - file a complaint with their webhosting company about improper use of copyrighted material. A reputable hosting site will pull the site down for a TOS violation. The DNS servers are mediatemple.net and the domain name was purchased through namecheap.com I can't readily tell who the host is though.

List, I have noticed these closing prices as well. I supposed they were posting shipping costs for some unknown reason.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question meteoritesaler.com
Unfortunately there's a dozen sites like this, so whenever you an internet search for a meteorite they pop up if the meteorite happens to be on ebay. The reason they do this is because ebay has a referral program, so if someone clicks on an auction link on one of these sites and wins the ebay auction, the site owner gets a commission. Not really a way to fight this if the site owner is well hidden, unless you have the money to hire lawyers to pursue it. -Yinan On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Stuart McDaniel actionshoot...@carolina.rr.com wrote: How do they change prices on closed ebay auctions?
