[meteorite-list] Tucson questions and predictions

[ensoramanda at ntlworld.com]

Hi,

I agree Mike...

As someone who has travelled to Tucson for the last two shows all the way from the UK, I can tell you that the Tucson experience is worth the trip and expense even if you you didn't buy a single rock. It is worth it just to meet everyone, wander around in the glorious weather, chat about the latest fall and look at a fantastic displays...not only of meteorites, but a multitude of other artifacts.

You could wander around for the whole 2 weeks and never see everything.

Definitely going next year and bringing others with me.

I am really sad about missing the show this year.

So I am not sure where you are getting your information, but it is either wrong, or from a dealer who doesnt have crap to offer, or offers crap.  I am sure with the economy people will have a bit less to spend, but good material still demands high or even higher prices as a safety net. I will let other play with their stocks and bonds, I will put my money in more tangible objects like rare meteorites.
