[meteorite-list] Ad New Canadian Meteorite for sale

Darren,

I hear you, but it's not about the rich snobs, it's about economic  
forces brought to the table which will result in a more stable  
marketplace and increasing valuations---and that's good for all of  
us.  Wouldn't it be great if there were market factors which limited  
the kinds of aberrations which have stung us all at one time or another?

I'm all for fun!  ;-)
