Hi Jim,

Wow, how the heck did this make the news? No offense, because it's a
fine specimen and the exposure will surely bring in some bidding. But
how is this different than the thousands of other meteorites sold on
eBay every day, for thousands of dollars each?

The media is a fickle mistress. LOL

Until further notice, I am suspending sales of anything from the asteroid belt.

Best regards,

MikeG
