Re: odd meteorite on eBay
Well, at least you GOT an answer.
<< We'll let the new owners have this piece tested>>
Wowee! Thanks for your "permission"! How generous!
<< However, for now, I am simply selling an item of merchandise that
is a "potential" meteorite. >>
Ahh. "potential" meteorite. Will you accept "potential payment" for it?
I just wrote "Bill Clinton" on a piece of paper, and I think I'll sell it as a
"potential Presidential autograph". (I know that's OK, because my brother
recently saw Clinton's handwriting in a Harvard museum, and says it looks
just like mine....)
<< if it proves to be a meteorite, they will have risked a small amount of
money
and made a lot. >>
...of course, if it DOESN'T prove to be a meteorite, some poor schlemiel will
be
$200+ poorer, and someone else will be $200+ richer, from the fraudulent sale
of a piece of worthless slag. But evidently THAT isn't problematic enough
to be worthy of mention by this seller. Amazing.
I wonder if the would-be buyer would be mildly interested in reading this
email/list-discussion?
