[meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay

[Michael Farmer]

Herman and all, this is not about me, just a comment on the fact that when anyone announces something new, for example, Sonny announced a new R chondrite from the USA, the first ever and something quite special that he found. I watched and there was only silence. I am not saying that everyone on the list needs to comment, that would be nuts, but when these ebay scams are put up, it seems so many people jump on every time. 
I am just curious why, and some of you have answered your own personal reasons. Enough said.
