I would say Tenham still is worth $6-10/g. Just because you bought the T= enham one time from an auction started low for $1.2/g does not mean that = is it's price. Show me some Tenham anywhere for $1.20/g. =20 One can buy a few pieces of Park Forest right now for $15-16/g but I do n= ot see it remaining at that price. I think there has only been about 3 k= ilos released onto the collectors market. It will be interesting to see = if the newly found big one will get cut up or not. Try to find any Park = Forest picked up the first or second day for under $20/g. or even $30/g f= or that matter. Zagami was $1000-$2000/g...and sometimes even more....when it was one of = the only martians available on the market. We saw an eBay auction last y= ear were Zagami went for like $120/g. Do you think anyone would sell you= any for that price? So what I am saying is, I don't see a meteorite have a "retail" price unt= il it's been out for a while...long enough to establish one. And one auc= tion does not set the market value either. I once purchased a 2kg sikhote= on eBay for $110.00. Anyone want to sell me some for $.06 a gram? =20 Mark ------=_NextPart_001_000A_01C33C32.890DCC00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE=3D"font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>Hello Matteo a= nd list,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You wrote: Tenham, $6-10/gr. now I = have buy for<BR>$1.2/gr.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would say Tenham = still is worth $6-10/g.
