Joe,

As you have no doubt already seen on the list, Ruben had a contract with Bob at the instant he clicked on the "Buy It Now" option on eBay. Steve called Bob AFTER the transaction had been completed with Ruben and ended up with the meteorite. A slimey undertaking by both Steve and Bob. Bob as the owner of the meteorite should be held primarily responsible for this fiasco as he backed out of his obligation and contract to Ruben. Steve is also responsible as he went along with the "trade" knowing that the meteorite had been sold on eBay in the first place.

>Hello Ruben, Dave, and list,
>??? I do not want to sound like I am sticking up for anyone, but Steve already had this meteorite on Friday Oct 21st.? Maybe Bob did not take the auction down in time, or maybe even not at all. I am sure it was all just a mistake. I do not know either of these guys, how ever I have talked to Steve a little through my forum. I am not sticking up for anyone, just trying to clear up a problem.
>??? I know that Steve had this meteorite on Friday, because he posted on my forum to go to his site and look at his new Canyon Diablo with a hole. You can go to the thread if you want to see for yourself. It is like the 5th reply( on the second page).

>> I left town on Friday (it was another Glorieta weekend

>> When I returned Sunday night I was shocked to see

Its on his<br>> new to his collection page.<br>> <br>> Of course I emailed both but neither has replied! I<br>> just checked my Paypal account and it does look like<br>> Bob canceled my payment so I don't think I'm out any<br>> money.<br>> <br>> Just thought everyone should know.<br>> <br>> p.s.<br>> On the bright side some lucky person that actually<br>> reads Big Steves ridiculous posts will get to buy it <br>> a week or so at half the price!<br>> <br>> Ruben Garcia<br>>??<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> __________________________________________________<br>> Do You Yahoo!?<br>> Tired of spam???Yahoo!
