[meteorite-list] How can we stop this

[stan .]

how are these people trying to screw buyers and why do they need to be 
stoped?

the auction does say quite clearly that they arent sure what the thing is 
and that they arent experts. they include a photo that would allow anyone 
who has more than 5 minutes of experience with meteorites to identify this 
stone as NOT a meteorite.

as meteorwrongs go this is probably the most innocent example as one can 
get. what you should really be worried about is the liked of the bcc 
meteorite peddlers out there who actually ahve a chance of pulling the wool 
over on someone...
