I noticed a lack of nice large unclassified NWA at similar prices to 
last year.  Similar large stones I paid 15¢/g for in the past was 
selling for 35¢ or more.  And it wasn't because it was better material - 
far from it.  Luckily I found what I needed from Comet Shop - thanks 
guys.  I was getting worried as I needed  it for a special project for a 
friend.

I agree, it seems like the perfect way to promote the auction.
