Interesting, I guessed it would be down to $5.00/gram by the end of September.? The only way it will get to the $5.00/gram mark is if the Russians offer it in bulk in Denver.? Then I predict the price will stabilize six months after that.


Kind Regards,

Adam

Sorry about the previous post - itchy trigger finger.

I've been doing some similar record keeping for ebay sales and can add this about Chelyabinsk specimens >= 3 grams:

Through the end of March, the average cost per gram, including shipping, was about $35.

This declined steadily. For August sales, the figure is closer to $8.
