[meteorite-list] partial collection sale - help me stay in school, which requires time I may have to spend working longer, and buy textbooks!

Mon Mar 20 05:46:08 EST 2006

  Hello. My state government aid has been cut dramatically due to the repercussions of implemenatation of responses to general budgetary concerns, such as subsequently revised economic qualification standards in California. Plus, I have possibly exceeded the maximum number of units that my school permits one to have to qualify for federal aid, and I have yet to receive any check. This will take some time to sort out., although I recognize that this is my problem. Due to these conditions and my extrapolated poverty, I must sell a large portion of my modest collection. I collected for reference purposes, choosing fascinating petrographies over rarity or value. Amphoterites were a special concern of mine, as well as extrusions and examples of metamorphic grades and carbonaceous chondrite metasomatism. Buy all (please - I just want to break even), and we'll discuss a significant discount. Plus, I'll trade for a good laptop, certain books and analytic instruments. I will entertain
  and
 consider individual offers on more expensive specimens. All specimens have been handled with chlorine-free gloves and have been stored in perforated polyethylene bags in inert storage containers with loose lids - all sealed in one large bag with a well-maintained container of silica gel. There is no advancing oxidation, and my climate is dry (So. California). Plus, I may get to the OC and iron specimens that I have (at least 60 more specimens). These were all purchased originally from reputable dealers (e.g. Hupes, Mike Farmer, Michael Cottingham et al.).
  Thank you for the inbox space.
