[meteorite-list] Effect of fall of dollar against Euro/ dirham's

[Jeff Kuyken]

While US customers might be slowing down, other countries may have been 
increasing. Many of the other currencies are up considerably like the 
Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Euro, etc.

Markets and circumstances change... they always have... they always will.

For example, 6-7 years ago Unclassified NWA's sold for say $3/g+ on eBay. At 
that time the Australian Dollar was worth about US$0.49. Today it's worth 
$0.93 and holding strong. And those same quality meteorites can sell for 
US$0.10/g now. That's means today, a 9g meteorite costs me ~AUS$1 whereas 6 
years ago it may have cost me AUS$50+.

Clearly, that's a very simplified view of it but I guess what I'm trying to 
say (in this late hour;-)) is that the market is what it is and people will 
pay what they feel comfortable to pay. That is the basic truth of it.

Cheers,

Jeff
