Hi Darryl,

I have sold valuable items on eBay but never meteorites so I don't blame you
for removing the auction. Too bad though. I was looking forward to bid. I am
always nervous too when I do a no reserve auction. You have to have a pretty
strong stomach to stick it out to the end but the rewards are high traffic
and usually the correct fair market value. Unless of course what you are
selling is available in abundance. In which case yours wasn't so you would
probably have gotten around the $1k per gram as suggested IMO.

Abe Guenther

Hi,

I think I speak for a lot of us that the recession is far from over.

Help me to understand, as you're the expert, I'm at a loss to understand
what's strange about having introduced something to collectors on eBay?
