THE BATTLE FOR MONAHANS

Hello all,

I have made the offer of $ 19,000.00 for the Monahans Meteorite.

As I see it 50%+ will go to institutions and the balance to collectors @

my cost + cut loss + 50%, that is how I see it and that is also if

I get it! I am ready to top anyones offer! However there are wild cards in here

with all the publicity! Someone outa left field can come along and take it away

by paying a ridiculous price! Great day for the kids in Monahans poor day for

us guys and a great day for Steve. If you remember the bidding war on

Noblesville!!!! I backed down @ $ 16,000.00 for a 460g stone!! AND

Ibitira!!!! bidding started @ $50,000.00 and I had to pay $ 125,000.00 plus

first class air travel for 2 etc...etc...+ cut loss, evryone thought I was

cleaning up!! You couldn't be farther from the truth!!!

In any case...............so begins the battle for MONAHANS!!!

PLAYERS !........choose your weapons........(cool, I got the cream pie)

DON'T ANYONE TELL DARYLL PITT about this!! He'll bid it up too high

and we'll all have to pay through the nose to get a speck of it!!

Talking about specks if he gets it we'll have to look at Monahans

through a lucite cube!!! Well one good thing is that Steve Arnold is kinda the

referee here and he's a good egg! Have fun Steve, Wait (forget the cream pie, I want the WATER BALLONS!!)
