[meteorite-list] AD - Auctions - The Last of My Stockpile - OT Flooding!

[Adam Hupe]

Dear List Members,

I have several excellent auctions ending this afternoon representing some 
great bargains, many still at the 99 cent opening bid mark!  This week, I 
loaded the very last of my bulk uncut and unclassified stockpile. There is 
over 65 kilograms to choose from, all started at below my costs.  They are 
priced at  less than 3 cents a gram with a low Buy-it-Now price of less than 
5 cents a gram. At this price, I imagine that they will all be gone within a 
week.  After that, I have no way of replacing this material with current 
wholesale prices from the Moroccans running 14 cents a gram and they will 
not budge on this price. The main reason I am liquidating this material is I 
have no where to store it. I moved the material out of storage and into my 
beach shack.  Normally this would not be a problem but my basement has a 
tendency to flood this year with record amounts of rainfall so they have 
taken over my modest living quarters upstairs. I really have to get out of 
here and find a new place and don't want to continue packing around 
thousands of pounds of meteorites.  I have been going without heat or hot 
water on and off as the water level reaches the pilot lights on the furnace 
and hot water tank motivating me even more to regain my living space.

A little off topic but for those who interested here is a slide show of some 
of the flooding in my area from my local paper. Washington state is a wet 
place to begin with and the all-time wettest month record has been shattered 
and we have yet another storm on the way this afternoon.
