[meteorite-list] This person can't do this right?

Hi List

As far as I know, Canada has similar laws about boundry waters as does the 
US. So, he would have to either get beyond the boundry line from Canada (who 
doesn't allow for collecting meteorites like this I believe) or figure out 
where the US area is and stay within it. If Russia has any laws about their 
boundry waters, that also may be an issue. Greenland may be pretty easy to 
deal with as would Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Do you mean illegal as in against the rules at Ebay, or illegal as in an 
illegal collecting area?
The Ebay part, I don't know.  But the collecting in the Arctic part would 
depend on the laws in the
nation in who's Arctic area he wants to collect.  You aren't thinking of 
Antarctica, are you?  He
couldn't collect them legally in Antarctica.  But he didn't say Antarctica, 
he said the Arctic.
Which doesn't have the same meteorite concentrating mechanisms as 
Antarctica, so it would be a
stupid expedition.  But I'm sure that it's a scam, anyway.
