[meteorite-list] Thanks goes to Lars Pendersen

[Darren Garrison]

With all of the talk of meteorites being "lost" in the mail, especially to Europe, and with the
speculation on some of those "lost" items having been won at a price where it would be better for
the seller to give a refund on the "lost" item rather than send it in the first place, I want to
publicly praise Lars Pendersen.  I recently won a 18 gram slice of NWA 987 from him at much less
than the current market price and much less than his cost.  But he sent it anyway, and it arrived
today.  I think that some sellers would rather "lose" the piece and eat a bad feedback point rather
than take the loss.

Here's the original auction:

and here's a scan of both sides of the slice I just made:
