I would appreciate your thoughts on this.   For a long time, when I

Norm, I prefer the asking price be left--we understand that some deals  are made 
to special clients but the world need not know the specifics that is why we call 
it an asking price.  I think that is a good compromise between removing it 
immediately and leaving it up for the time you have a particular meteorite in 
inventory.  Future resale is in most --but not all cases more than a week from 
purchase to resale.  I can't see how the asking price being listed on the 
website would influence a short term sale anyway.
