Think about it, TWO trips to Colombia, hotels, all
day taxi rentals, last second tickets, etc etc etc,
and all to bring home 1/2 POUND of meteorites,
CHONDRITE,
at that, not even 220 GRAMS between the TWO of us?
My
trip costs for both trips was well over $8000.00,
anyone who jumps on airplanes with ~2 hours notice
and
flies to South American countries can tell you all
about that, and if we had found nothing as so often
happends? How many of you would have donated money
to pay for our failed trips? Ahhhhh, nobody would
have sent me a penny. So if you can think rationally,
about flying thousands of miles, and coming home with
rocks that in mass have much less size than a damn
candybar, what is it worth?
It is worth whatever the market will bear, and it
darned well bore a very high price, which is why I
am sold out in less than 24 hours at many many times
the price of gold. Those of you complaining about the
price, DONT BUY! Problem solved, no worries, keep
your money. Those who wanted a piece of history, the
first fall for Colombia, 4 house smashers etc, you
have pieces than only a very few collectors ever will.
Matteo cried during Park Forest (and every other
meteorite fall for the last 10 years) so this is
nothing new. He also said Park Forest was worth no
more than $6.00 gram (I posted this once before,
easy to find in the archives) and now he sells it for
$50.00 gram. So who is speculating here?
So once again, a gentle reminder about the price of
this fall, I NEVER sold a piece for $4000 gram, it
is being re-sold by the buyers for that price, and
you
know what, more power to them, they control it all
right now, if you want a piece, they are the source,
I can not provide another piece for any price.
