I was lucky enough to aquire a few samples of this and I will add that I am very happy with it and do agree that the photos do not do this meteorite justice. 
To see it in person is simply amazing. There is an awesome swirled crystal structure and it makes an outstanding display piece.
In my opinion the NWA 5480 is a must have for collectors.
If my budget was not so tight currently, I would be buying up as much of it as I could for the price he is asking...
