[meteorite-list] Vaca Muerta found in China???

[JKGwilliam]

Norbert,
Sellers like this must think that the rest of the world is as ignorant as 
they are.  I find these auctions amusing but hope that no one is foolish 
enough to bid on these imposters.  Some might think that a 490g meteorite 
is a bargain even if the price goes up to $25 or so.  However, before you 
bid, take a look at the shipping costs.  If its shipped to me (here in the 
USA) the cost is $88.00 USD.  IF you (Norbert) are the winner of this 
auction, the shipping is $82.00.   What a scam!

Best,
John Gwilliam
