Wow!!!!
I didn't expect so many responses. So let me be more specific:
No, I will not be buying a whole bunch for myself, maybe one fragment
to make thin-sections, that's it (everybody has it so why should I be
like everybody??) ;-)

So if you want me to do some shopping for you, tell me exacty what you
want (size, whole, broken,....etc) and a price limit would be good too,
because I don't know what Dima/Serge's prices will be. A phone number
could be helpful too so I can tell you what it is I am looking at. A
quick payment thru Paypal will be appreciated, and I will mail it to
you right after the show.

Any other questions?????

OK, OK, guys.
No need to get all upset, there is another way to get some very good
pieces of Chelyabinsk.
In less than 2 weeks Dima and Serge will be right here in Denver for a
Mineral show, I know they are coming and I know they are bring some
pieces because they told me so. And I know that Dima was one of the
first guy on the site of the fall because he even appeared in one of
the earliest reports done by the BBC.

So either drive up to Denver, or tell me what you want and I'll be the
messenger.

The Show is April 19-20-21. See you there!

Count Diero,
I wouldn't sell to you if you offered me double. There would be some
scam
involved:)

I did not say anything about our known friends in other places. By all
means,
Finland and Chelyabinsk are very different places. Different shipping
systems,
and I have been to Chelyabinsk also:)
Seems like some people on this list got burned badly in deals with you
if I
recall. It is dangerous buying on the net.

sorry you didn't buy something from him instead? Listen my friend, Many
of us
act on our own and do just nicely, If you bought from Andrey Barakshin
that
lives in Finland, don't worry you will get your goods. I bought from
him and it
took several weeks. He was in Russia buying stones when I committed for
a half
dozen and he had to go back to Finland to do his prep and mailing. It
takes
time. I also bught from common villagers who had found out about Ebay
from
selling car parts. Both of them turned out to be real gentlmen, but it
took
longer to receive them.

rent and
send the girl friend flowers, so don't expect a pat on the back and a
generous
little tip on how to save a buck, or cut a corner drom them.. To
them,meteorites
are a business and a game of oneupsmanship. Remember that.

March 11, 2013, I have yet to receive it. I want to be prudent and seek
council
 from you before I make the decision to put a claim into PayPal. It has
been a
little more than three weeks, could someone more experienced in
shipping to and
 from Russia please advise if I am correct in being a little concerned
or should
I give it a few more weeks. I have questioned my seller to this and
have not
received a satisfactory response. Yes I know the danger of dealing with
someone
who is a new seller, however since I used PayPal I felt assured that if
it did
not work out I would be able to recoup my funds. Any advice would be
greatly
appreciated.
