Rob,
 
I bought it a few years ago. I don't know if anyone tried to buy it from
his Ebay listings that he's been putting up over the years. He doesn't have
it, I do.

That sounds very odd for any dealer to operate like that. Has it ever sold
on eBay? Perhaps people are simply returning it and the dealer just can't
be rid of it, like an albatross.

A few years ago I was looking for a certain kind of large iron meteorite
for my collection and found a nice one at a well known dealers website. I
made the deal and sent the payment. The next day I was told that it had
been
sold some time ago. The dealer offered me a different piece that was
larger
and more expensive at a great price. I agreed and paid for it. It arrived
and I was thrilled with it. About 6 months later I saw my meteorite on
Ebay
listed by this same dealer. I emailed him and joked about it. He ended the
listing. Six months later it was listed again and has been relisted a
number of times to this day and is still for sale on his website. I don't
want
to cause him any undue embarrassment so I won't mention his name, so don't
ask. Forgetful? or Bait and Switch? I'm not complaining, it was a good
deal
for me.

Cheers,
Jim K
