Here in the Airplane Capitol of the= World, Wichita, Kansas...3,500 airplane jobs have been laid off. =20 Someone asked if Dean made any money and you can be sure he did. Just no= t near the money others made. And guess where he is right now, if you ar= e wondering why he has been silent through all are NWA talk? In the CR2 strewfield. Lets hope he is able to find more and be able to = bring it ont he market at a fair price. =20 It will be interesting to see what the price of this meteorite stables at= . You will note that most meteorite all come on the market originally at= once sorce. This meteorite was sold to several dealers....probley at di= fferent prices as well. =20 I would also like to see this meteorite, the DAG CO3, the SAH L6's, and o= thers like it get one name. This is something I do not think we will eve= r see but would seem o make sence to me. =20 Mark Bostick ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Farmer Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 1:30 PM To: MARK BOSTICK; meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] CR2s a temporary bargain Well said, except the part about controlling it, that is not true. =20 ----- Original Message ----- =20 From: MARK BOSTICK =20 To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com =20 Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 1:43 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] CR2s a temporary bargain Well Said!!

Dean B= essy allowed collectors for a once in a lifetime chance at letting them h= ave CR2s at $23 a gram. People who would never have dreamed one year ago = at such an opportunity, now proudly display their CR2s and are expanding = their collections.He will sell out at Tucson leaving only three of us wit= h the lion's share of this find. The strewn field is small and totally wo= rked over.Those of us left will never after Tucson let this rare material= sell for under $100 a gram.I probably control half of the fall and will = personally keep or donate it to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto , Can= ada. [ about4,000+ grams]. Thus supply and demand kick in and those that = have it are in no hurry to sell it at low prices after Feb. 2002. For tho= se that bought CR2s from Dean, Congratulations on the great deal. For tho= se who didn't it's highly unlikely you will ever be offered this gift aga= in, which was more of a temporary parntnership to help offset Deans inves= tment.Dean has done well by buying from the source and adding a bit of a = mark up. He is providing material today that we could only have dreamed o= f a year ago at affordable prices. He has helped to expand the base of ou= r collecting community and is an asset to us.Those who bought in the past= at high prices should not worry. The material is limited and will contin= ue to sell to high prices in the future.
