I just read Kevin's report.  It is well  worth the small price.  Very 
informative.  I suggest you check it  out!

Dear List  Members:

Every year since 1995 I have prepared a report to estimate the  value
of each meteorite in my collection. This is done by  painstakingly
visiting every legitimate dealer website. The results of these  surveys
have become a true "snapshot" of each year's market  prices.


Last year, I realized that this type of information might  interest
other collectors and dealers. After adding value by identifying  and
interpreting price trends, I shared the data by selling  it
inexpensively on the Internet. The 2007 "Global Meteorite Price
Report"  was limited to the eight-five meteorites within my collection,
but was  instantly popular and the feedback I received was  very
supportive.


This year, to better serve the meteorite  community I have expanded the
report to include many other popular meteorites  beyond those held in
my personal collection. There are now 121 different  meteorites (plus a
few of their permutations). I would have included more,  but at least
one hundred historic or well-known meteorites that were on my  search
list are not currently being offered for sale – rare birds  indeed.


This fourteen-page document contains three years worth of  price data,
July, 2005, February, 2007 and September, 2008, so that price  trends
among the meteorites you own can be identified. Actually, I do it  for
you.


My methodology is explained, and following the price list  comparisons,
there is my "State of the Market Report" with "Market News",  "Impact
of Dealer Competition", "Individual Meteorites of Note" and  I
introduce a new concept to meteorites called "Tiered  Pricing."


Breaking up the prose are many color photos of meteorites  and related
items never or rarely seen before and select meteorite  microscopy
works by the vanguard in this field, Tom Phillips.


But  there's more. Did you ever wonder if you shared first names with a
meteorite?  As a fun addition, I have included a two-page list of
meteorite names  compiled from Monica Grady's latest version of "The
Catalogue of Meteorites"  that are also "people names". Anyone named
Mike in the audience? You have a  meteorite. (Alas, no chondrites named
"Kevin.")


Anyone owning my  book (see www.theartofcollectingmeteorites.com) that
enjoys my writing style  will want this report. Anyone trying to
understand the effects of the world's  slowing economy on their
collection's value will want this report. Any dealer  wondering how his
prices stack up against the competition will want this  report.


The price is $11 payable on PAYPAL by visiting  MARSROX at gmail.com


The lucky eleventh dollar will be used to enhance  my charitable
donation of astronomy books to the Planetarium Dr. Max Schreier  in La
Paz, Bolivia, in support of their large meteorite collection  donated
by Blaine Reed.


Upon receipt of your funds, "The Global  Meteorite Price Report" - 2008
and the "Meteorite/People Names" will be  transmitted within 24 hours
in an email as attached  Adobe pdf docs.  They're highly "printer
friendly" and you will want to keep them among your  meteorite files.


I look forward to sharing this information. You will  enjoy the
journey. Thank you.
