> Good expansion on the desert talk. But, the flood will never be the same
> as the Sahara. I and Jason Phillips went to a remote desert in Kenya in
> Feb./Mar. 2003 after much research and expense to come home with no
> meteorites, but a heck of a lot of fun and experience. Jason is a
> go-getter if ever there was ( he accompanied me a separate trip, also last
> year, to Morocco).
>
> There is no worry a vast amount of meteorites to be found, but the
> "collecting" zone such as the hot desert of the Sahara and the cold desert
> of Antarctica are limited and will end very soon. There are so many teams
> and individuals hunting these regions that it is a matter of time. Like in
> Oman, the tracks are clearly laid out, every square inch is being
> searched.

>> And Bernhard, as always, I answer:

>> For a serious dealer it does not pays off on the long run to praise
>> stinky
>> Campos or boring W4 desert H5s like the Star of India.
>> Experienced collectors don't appreciate such exaggerations and the
>> beginners
>> will soon find out

>>
>> Meteorite market is not Fish Market.

>> You don't get my point, Martin. It's not praising stinky Campos or
>> "boring" W4 desert H5's (BTW, the attitude that desert H5's are boring
>> is something I fully reject), it's about transporting the magic of
>> meteorites in your text, telling people more than just "I sell a Campo".
>> Give them background information, tell them that Campos tend to rust,
>> but tell them also the history of this find. Tell them how they can take
>> care of their pieces, and why even a "stinky Campo" is a piece of
>> extraterrestrial matter that is something special.
>>
>> You don't have to exaggerate to sell. You just have to show that you
>> appreciate what you are selling.
