[meteorite-list] West Full Slices Price Increase, AD

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

Hello List,

First off, I need to make a correction: according to my  meteorite cutter, 
the exact weight of the West meteorite I have was 1,663g and  not 1,673g  (I 
guess the Post Office scale was off a tad)

Just a  short note to let you guys know that I only have 8 full slices of 
my 1,663g West  stone left.  I am now down to a total of only 332.5g in 
slices, and I have  the one 217.1g end that will be used to make part slices (no 
full slices  available from it) if no one wants to buy it as is.

I have sold the large  557.2g end piece, so over 2/3 of the entire mass has 
sold now.  And to  celebrate I am announcing a price increase on the 
remaining slices. 

They  are now going up from $37.50 per gram to $42.50 per gram.  What 
doesn't  sell soon, will probably be listed one at a time on Ebay starting at 
$42.50/g  and we can let competition see what these are really worth.

With the sale  of the Main Mass of West now having been made, and the 
strong likelihood that it  will not be sliced up, this should be your only chance 
to get a big slice if you  haven't got one yet.

For all of you who have bought slices, thank you for  your business.  It 
really is appreciated.

I also have some small  individuals still for sale as well.

I am expecting to be totally sold out  of all West (slices and individuals) 
shortly after our TV show "Meteorite Men"  airs on May 10th on Science 
Channel.  In the past we have seen massive  website traffic spikes on days that 
our meteorite shows air.  Even for  shows where we were just a small segment 
of a larger program. 

We expect  the response with this show will be substantially higher than 
the others in the  past due to it being a full hour long, and due to the much 
higher production  budget to enable the show's production quality to be so  
much better.  
 
Of course the jury is still out as to the quality of the content of the  
show, compared to shows in the past.  And while I am a bit biased, I have a  
feeling this one is going to be a much better show than what has been seen in 
 the past. 

All that adds up to more web site traffic and hopefully more  visitors 
converted to sales customers.  With only 8 full slices of West  left, and only a 
couple dozen or so West stones left, I expect they will  all be gone within 
the next month and a half. 

Please contact me off  list if you are interested in photos and details on 
what is left. 

Also,  if anyone has any West specimens they would like to sell to me, or 
for me to  broker on their behalf, please contact me off list as well.
