I have to agree, I think sales hype will be the main factor to any increased prices of Martian meteorites until 100% proof is offered... 

an example of sales hype - 
Before the NASA announcement was even made, one person stopped selling a certain martian while another immediately offered some for sale. Reminds me of the old time sales tactics used to create a perceived demand, supply shortage and scarcity while a partner offers to supply those who "missed out" from the other persons stock. Just using this an an example of how hype can create an artificial increase in cost with good sales planning from people working together. 

If that time comes that fossils are found in any meteorite, all will jump up in price and demand I think.
