[meteorite-list] Excessively Large Reward a bad precedent.

[GeoZay at aol.com]

>>I agree with McCartney that there  needs to be some sort of gentleman's 
agreement, not for the reward amount  but that there not be a dollar 
amount posted at all. REWARD FOR METEORITES!  is a sufficient phrase for 
use in the lead generation and helps in the  protection of hunters and 
market prices of meteorite. It will minimize the  pissed off landowners 
that think they might be taken advantage of, and will  help preserve the 
value of the meteorites by not artificially inflating the  price.<<

I don't think any limits on offered rewards should be  done. First of 
all...there's this thing called "Supply and Demand". If there's  just a few large 
meteorites to be found, then make the offer. Its probably worth  a big reward. 
Offering anything less, the landowner is probably being taken  advantage of. 
There are two sides to this fence...the meteorite hunter and the  landowner. Each 
side wants to make a killing and neither wants to be had. Most  people on 
this list are probably looking at it from one side of the  fence.
