[meteorite-list] July Market Trends

[Michael Fowler]

I bought two items at Michael Cottingham's "once a year 50 % off sale" and I was going to ask him if there was anything special about his choice of timing.  

Perhaps Michael Blood's survey of dealers showing that July is the slowest month of the year is the answer.

> Hey Michael,

> I find the plot of meteorite sales in your latest Market Trends interesting.

> It does make sense, IMHO. The peak being January through March, just as the Tucson Shows occur and generate a lot of interest, while the summer months, when people are out and about and on vacation, the market activity dips.

> I'm curious if you've noticed a correlation in pricing that matches or is inverse to this cycle, or if the two are unrelated to each other?
