[meteorite-list] ...advice please!

[R. N. Hartman]

I would first ask him how he landed in such as mess and whether he
understands the contractual legalities of an auction.  If he is apologetic I
would let him off the hook.  If not, burn his toes on the fire!  :=)   I
think its a matter of whether he understands the process and whether it is a
first offense.  (The world of business is heartless enough!)
