[meteorite-list] Question

[Darryl Pitt]

I have the main mass and Bill Gates, where ever you are, don't listen  
to Tracy---you can easily afford it.

Seriously, the comparative table previously provided is flawed as all  
the sales were not for one gram specimens.  I've sold a 1/10 carat of  
GV for the equivalent of $165,000---but the most for a one gram  
specimen or more was "only" $12,000.

BTW, I traded GV for the 13 kg Willamette specimen I obtained from the  
American Museum of Natural History.

At the time, I thought it was one of my better exchanges....

....ouch.

;-)
