But is it better to make a smaller profit now (not loose money, make a smaller profit) or to sit on
the piece for years hoping that someone, someday will be willing to pay the higher price, but maybe
they never will?  Lots of the web sites that sell meteorites have had the same pieces listed for
months, possibly years, without them selling.  To me, that seems like it should be a clue to them
that nobody wants to pay that price.
