[meteorite-list] AD: Monahans 1998 & New Batch of "Reverse Auction" items up on Ebay

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

Hello All,

My first batch of meteorites  in my "First Steve Arnold's Famous Ebay 
Discount Marathon" mostly sold out on  Ebay a few weeks ago, and so I have decided to 
do it again.  But this time  I am going to do it with more of an assortment 
of smaller priced items, so  more people can participate.  

I will be adding more items over the  next few days and will be trying to 
drop the prices by 10% every 24 hours or  so.

Again, I get a whopping 75% discount on the seller fees if you go to  Ebay 
and buy from this link  here:

http://stores.ebay.com/Steve-Arnold-Meteorites?refid=store   

Please book mark the above URL, then go there to look. 

If  you get to my page via first going to another Ebay page, I DO NOT get the 
 discount.  At up to 12% selling fees, that can be substantial.   Keeping 
this affordable (even though time consuming on my end) will help me to  keep 
doing this more in the future.  

Thanks for all the support on  the first "Discount Marathon" last month, and 
best of luck this time  around.

I will also be adding some items on the normal ebay auctions, so  keep an eye 
open for those.

I also found my lost stash of Monahans 1998  crumbs the other day.  I don't 
have many, but I have made some photo copies  of  the cover of the People 
Magazine that ran the story and the inside  story with the autographs of all the 
"Monahans 7" on the photo.

I have  decided to sell a limited number of those each with a Monahans 1998  
crumb.

It is hard to believe that it was 10 years ago this next Sunday  when the 
Monahans City Council decided to give the boys their rock back.  I  had the joy 
of working with the families to help them get the meteorite wrestled  back from 
the city and then to broker the sale for them.  I still laugh  when I 
remember the one City Councilman angrily calling me a "used rock  salesman" from his 
elevated perch at the Council meeting. I thought about  putting that title on 
a business card, but figured no one would get the joke.  

Part of my deal with the kids was to get a few grams of material, most  all 
of which I sold out of shortly after the sale of the main mass. 

I  have a small number of crumbs from 2mg up to 6mg in size.  I consider 
these  pieces historical type specimens, that should not really to be priced by 
the  size or the weight.  Michael Blood bought up most of the other left over  
ones I had in the past, and I am not sure if he is sold out of them yet.   
Other than that, I am not sure one can find them anywhere else.

I don't  have a microscope, so some of these might have the famous purple 
salt crystals  still on them. If so, then there is a chance there is some of the 
ultra rare  extraterrestrial water still trapped in them.

The first buyers will get  the biggest crumbs available on a first come first 
served basis   

Price: $39 each.  Paypal works.  If you want to send me a  check, let me know 
so I can hold the biggest crumb back for  you.

Thanks,
