Ok, after thinking about it I have to admit it would be pretty funny to sell
a piece of Valera with a cow Beanie Baby or Nakhla with a dog. Maybe New
Concord with a horse?
What can I say? The thought of a meteorite hitting and killing a Beanie
Baby just really makes me happy. :) I'd probably bid on one of those
auctions myself.
With a smile on my face,

Come on now Chuck, most people don't even know meteorite exist. How many
times have you told someone your interested in meteorites to have them
respond "What is that?" or "What do you do with them?". How many meteorite
collectors do you think there are? How many Beanie Babies collectors do you
think there are? I would bet a lot more Beanie Babie collectors. Personally
I thought the auctions are funny. It apparently made you take a look and
therefore served there purpose.

I do not see how I am "cheapening the sale of meteorites". Which, since you
brought it up.... Most people would agree that many meteorites have lost
value the last couple years, this for me has been a good thing. I have been
able to build a bigger meteorite collection then I would have ever dreamed.

While I will agree I could have put more thought into tie the beanie with a
meteorite from its homeland. (Does anyone know where most the storks live?)
I did manage a crab with an Imilac and an african meteorite with a rhino.

I do apologize if you feel I have hurt or devalued your collection in
anyway. As I do not know you, it was not my intent.

I suppose you wouldnt think my meteorite-comic books auctions for next week
is a bad ideal as well......just kidding.

  Mark,
Please stop cheapening the sale of Meteorites with all the other items that
you offer for sale.
When you combine all of it together they look like Garage sale/Flea Market
items. You are hurting all of us and Yourself when you do this.
What you need to do is to organize everything into separate Groups and your
Meteorites into Type and Location, please sell your Meteorites by themselves
remember .. what you are doing hurts us and YOU !.
