Hey List,

On a slightly different subject, somehow I remember that when I once visited
the Crater I wanted to buy a bunch of their post cards. However, when I took
about 20 of them up to the counter I was told I could only buy 10 of them.
When I asked why, they said that meteorite dealers buy them and then resell them
for a profit, so they have to put a limit on them or they will sell too many.
 

I promptly bought my limit of 10 and then went back and picked up 10 more and
went to the other checkout counter and bought the second batch of cards. I
hope I didn't break a state or federal law in doing that?

The point is that I thought it was a strange policy for a business to have.

Steve Arnold
