[meteorite-list] GPS [AD]

[Martin Altmann]

And I really doubt whether he knows the source of our NWA 4766.

...and even more doubts I have, whether that selling strategy will work,
to tell that that material has sold at 1500$/g and to price it at 5000$/g 
:-?

I hope the seller has more of the material - the crumbs are so tiny, that at
least I for myself, if I had only such sized specimens, certainly wouldn't
dare, to judge, whether they could be paired to another stone.. you Jim?

Best!
Martin

Not tacky at all.  However, a quick glance at two of your auctions does 
concern me a little.

NWA 2975 was only ONE stone acquired by myself and Mike Farmer in 2005.  In 
spite of claims to the contrary, NO ONE knows who we got that meteorite so 
it is impossible to say that any subsequent "POSSIBLE PAIRINGS" over two 
years later, came from our source.

I realize that you use the words "likely paired" in your description, which 
is proper, but the label on the gem box clearly states NWA 2975 with a small

"lp".  Now there are a lot of new collectors on eBay and a subtle "lp" on 
the identifying gem box will most likely loose it's meaning as this specimen

changes hands in the future.  It would be interesting to me to see what your

certificate of authenticity states, as well.

The main mass of NWA 2975 was sold to one collector and the remaining 
cutting crumbs were sold to other collectors and these sales have been 
logged into a spreadsheet that I have, so I know where each piece was sold 
initially.  By the way, I have a similar spreadsheet for NWA 2986.
