[meteorite-list] STEAL OF A LIFETIME

[Mr EMan]

Well Gosh congrats on yet another fantastic specimen.  Wish I had seen it myself.

Yes, sometimes sellers do really stupid things: like putting no reserve on a large investment or sometimes they put a Buy-It-Now price of $1 or some other rookie play.  A sharp-eyed buyer can really make the seller regret not paying closer attention. Of course it also helps to know the market 300 grams of SA @ .20 a gram is around $60 and @.30 a gram is $90 so sounds about right. Then again what is gram price when it comes to a really pretty specimen?  Congrats on your "steel-steal-deal"

Fortunately the seller will have a chance to buy it back as what comes around on Ebay goes around on Ebay at least for some buyers/sellers.  I hope to start recycling my collection soon.

Regards,
Elton
