[meteorite-list] meteorite prices

[Martin Altmann]

But the other deserts seems not to have such good conditions for meteorite
preservation.
Ask Rodrigo Martinez, the Atacama hunter, how few stones he's finding by
year.
The Omani meteorites are on average more weathered than the Saharas, from
Gobi or Gebi I read, that there were an expedition without success
and obviously Namib is also not such a nice place, if one thinks about 170
years of Gibeon search and almost no stones found.
