[meteorite-list] fake Mars back on ebay

[Howard Steffic]

I am going to go out on a limb and make two predictions:

1) It is terrestrial. I will bet my first born on it.

2)  The guy is a nut case and Jesus Christ himself could tell him it is not 
from Mars and the Ebay Auctions would continue.

I wouldn't cross the street to give the guy the time of day.  Don't waste 
any more of your time Gary.
