Wholesale, dealers = are now paying from $5.00 a gram to 110.00 a gram in the field thanks to = the April fools joke that this material is planetary. We set up a = network in Park Forest and surrounding areas before we left. These = groups have come up with several new stones and realize that the price = is going to plummet once the initial novelty wears off. We have the = possibility of several more kilos coming in on top of what we already = have at a much more reasonable price. My advice is to wait until a = better price is established before purchasing. =20 If you are not willing to wait we will post several eBay auctions = tonight starting these specimens out at $5.11 a gram, our actual average = field costs including some of our own finds. This price does not include = other expenses like hotel and airfare. See what price these specimens = end up at and you may have a more realistic figure of what to offer per = gram. We will not be selling specimens privately until we are finished = acquiring material and finish lab studies. This is because we want to = do a dollar cost averaging before making more of this material = available. This way everybody is assured a most reasonable price like = we gave on the Thuathe fall, less than half of what other dealers are = asking for it. =20 All the best, Adam Hupe=20 ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C2F90D.AB741DC0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Dear List Members,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>The pricing of this new fall is getting = ridiculous.=20 Wholesale, dealers are now paying from $5.00 a gram to 110.00 a gram in = the=20 field thanks to the April fools joke that this material is = planetary.
