"Maralinga 131$/g"

I purchased my 2.8-gram slice from David New in 91/92 and had to pay
$39 per gram.

"Barratta L3 25.25$/g"

12 grams from David New ... purchased October 1987. Price: $4.16/g

"Julesburg L3.6 12.31$/g"

43.5 grams purchased from Walter Zeitschel in 1987. Price: 8 DM*/g

*One US dollar was about 1.80 German Marks (DM) at that time, so
about $4.44 per gram.

"Parnallee LL3 55.74$/g"

11.9 grams purchased from David New in March 1989 for $145. That
is $12.18 per gram.

Well, these examples may suffice to show that the prices rose steeply,
sometimes even skyrocketed toward the turn of the century!


Cheers,
Bernd
