[meteorite-list] Do the meteorite police need to get involved?

Just trash rocks.

 

As has been discussed in great length on (I assume any and all) meteorite forums, eBay does not care and will do nothing. I continue to occasionally report items when I am feeling particularly quixotic, but at the end of the day, buyers must validate their purchases. As always ?caveat emptor.?

Hey folks,

 

Tell me folks, what kind of an iron meteorite is this?

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/IRON-METEORITE-816-4-GRAMS-BEAUTIFUL-SPECIMEN/263949429840

 

 

...and what sort of stone-iron is this one?

Maybe I'm just very ignorant and ill-informed.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Best -

Mal
