[meteorite-list] Steve Arnold (Chicago) what are you doing????????

[LITIG8NSHARK at aol.com]

Good morning Folks,

I'd be interested in knowing whether the hole in the specimen at issue was 
the result of the flight of the specimen (ablation) or whether it resulted from 
natural weathering, as was suggested as a possible cause for the hole in a 
previous thread.  

As far as meteorites with holes are concerned, my supposition would be that a 
"weather-induced" specimen would be worth something less, perhaps 
significantly less, than a truly "ablation-generated" specimen of similar mass and 
aesthetically pleasing shape.  Perhaps also Mr. Arnold, (Chicago Steve), given his 
significant price reduction for his specimen, is silently screaming to us all, 
his personal impression regarding the origin of the hole?

Just a thought.

Best regards to all,

Paul Martyn

Ruben,
What you've noticed isn't a new. Buy high sell low...hmmmm.  I think Steve 
must have a sugar mama.
