[meteorite-list] Items for sale

[Mal Bishop]

To everyone interested,

This is my second AD in as many days, but since I haven't posted an 
ad in a year or more, I figured I had some good behavior merits built up.  :-)

Anyway, I'm making everything I want to sell available for all to see 
(whether you want to or not  :-)  ) -- what I paid, what I would like 
to get, and who I purchased each item from.  I'm only doing this 
because of my rather dire circumstances!  I realize I'm not the only 
in this boat (quickly becoming cruise liner size it appears), and I 
truly wish each one of you well in all of your endeavors and daily lives!!!

I recently lost my job (not the only one in that boat I know) and I'm 
a single parent raising my 10 year old son, Gabriel ( we lost his 
mother to a traffic accident 3.5 years ago),
so since I was the only bread winner I had to make a hard decision 
and start selling these "gifts from above" that Gabriel and I both 
cherish so much!

Hopefully you will see something you would like to add to your 
collection.  I am still willing to negotiate a little on prices 
within reason, but as you can see, I've come down
an incredible amount from what I initially paid for the stuff!

I also have several meteorite related things to offer such as coins, 
an iron meteorite element set, and a few books left I will part with.

The list of books and such will be ready shortly for those 
interested.  As usual, and customary, I will send photos of any 
item(s) you may wish to see.

As you can see everything is priced to hopefully go pretty quickly.


Thanks and take good care -
Mal
