I agree with you on that one. I believe that we are
getting stuff at a price below what a normal market
condition would be. And the deliberate faking and
clouding of TKW is making it better for collectors -
especially on the rare stuff.  For example, Lets say
that some rare meteorite genuinely only has 90 grams
TKW and should be worth $200 a gram. I am taking this
"potential Faking TKW" discount into effect in what I
am willing to pay and then I sell it at a markup from
what I bought it at meaning that the collector gets a
rare meteorite at a fraction of what it should sell
for.
Cheers
DEAN
