[meteorite-list] AD - Do you want a rareandimportantMetachondrite?

[Martin Altmann]

Hi Stan,

ask the veteran collectors.
Meteorites in general are heftily UNDERhyped in these times.
Don't expect that that silly cheap pricing will continue until eternity.
Let's speak about pricing of rare types in 2 or 3 years from now on - you'll
see!

Buckleboo,

did you know, that tomorrow veteran collector Alex Seidel will go finally
polymict!!!
I'll be there!
Cheeeers!

Martin
