I dunno folks...I haven't bought any meteorites from anybody, but from time
to time I thought about it. I even approached my wife and told her about my
intentions to someday buy a few just for grins. She said okay and I'll most
likely do so within the next few months. Lately I appreciated those of you that got
things for sale on ebay and announced it. It gave me a chance to look things
over a little and to formulate some ideas of how much I want to spend and on
what kind of meteorite speciments. If I don't see an announcement on this list
from one of you dealers, I most likely won't be buying from you when the time
comes. :o) The subject titles of the postings seems clear enough of what they
are about...something is for sale seems to be quite explicit. If I'm in the
market, I just may open them up for a looksy...while if i'm not, it's simple
enough to delete. No harm, no foul.

As for the bickering...I rather enjoy it. It gives me a clue about the
various sellers character. If I determine from it that a particular individual is a
bozo, I may choose not to buy from him. My definition of a bozo may not be
the same as for everyone else. So, it's not always clear cut.
