Before all of the NWA meteorites started showing up on the market, there 
were the Sahara meteorites.  Several of them (e.g.98094, 99302)reside in my 
collection including 85001 (found in 1985) which is now NWA1242.

How many of you can remember when these Sahara meteorites first 
appeared?  If my memory is correct, Rob Elliott was the first person to 
sell them on Ebay and the going price for unclassified common chondrites 
was well over $1.00/gr.

Best,
