Hi Mark,

Since the meteorite category on eBay is huge, filtering is the only
way to separate the wheat from the chaff (where one person's wheat
could be another's chaff).  Peter Marmet has already suggested
the use of exclusions and wildcards, e.g.

meteorite -rolex -campo -nan*

Another approach is to do specific searches for items you DO
want.  Suppose you're only interested in martian or lunar
meteorites.  You could use:

meteorite (mars, martian, luna*)

Voila!  A manageable 83 items to scan through.  --Rob
