[meteorite-list] Tucson Auction

[Greg Hupe]

Hello Tucson Auction Enthusiasts,

I have no problems with the auction results being publicized, I say go for 
it. But, like I stated before, it would be good for all involved (especially 
new collectors) to have the disclaimer that prices realized do NOT 
particularly reflect retail pricing.

Retail pricing is subjective as discussed here so it is a very difficult, if 
not impossible, job to put together a guide that reflects all levels of 
pricing. A guide that includes; Web Site 'asking' prices, completed eBay 
auctions, completed Tucson Auctions, completed BIG Auction Houses, etc. 
would be a guide that would encompass all levels of 'retail' sales and would 
be a valuable tool for collectors at ALL levels of experience.

In the meantime, I support Michael Blood's auction and will continue to do 
so!

Just my two lunar chips worth!

Best Regards,
Greg
