[meteorite-list] AD - Tucson Notes - Excellent eBay Auctions Ending

[Adam Hupe]

Dear List Members,
 
I just returned earlier than expected from the Tucson Gem and Mineral 
Show.  It only took about three days to go through everything there and I can 
tell you that prices are up on everything and the supply is severely down. There 
were only a few Moroccan dealers and all were asking at least twice as much as 
last year.  They are very good at cherry picking out the best material, setting 
it aside and negotiating for hours, even on the most common material.  I finally 
gave up and walked away without buying a single piece from them. In any case, 
there was very little to look out.  It used to take me about two weeks to check 
out everything but not any more.  The asking price for Campos has even tripled, 
go figure.  The only bargains I could acquire were on American finds. 
 
The good news is that I have several excellent auctions ending today and 
tomorrow.  I ran extra large pieces of very rare material so it is definitely 
worth a look.   Do not forget to check back frequently as I am introducing 
several rare items starting this afternoon on eBay and will continue to add more 
every week as the inventory is prepared.
