[meteorite-list] "Weston" on e-bay

[michael cottingham]

Hello,
Over the 10+ years I have been selling and trading meteorites, I have owned over 500 grams of Weston... THAT IS NOT WESTON!  I am sooooooooooo tired of these people on ebay trying their scams...trying to make a quick buck......... thinking every damn rock in their yard is a million dollar meteorite......... Yeah times have sure changed in the world of meteorites.  The tip of the ice berg... just the tip of things to come. No wonder most of us are packing up and leaving ebay one by one.
Best Wishes
Michael Cottingham
