[meteorite-list] Moroccan business meteorite is suffering

[Adam Hupe]

Yes, most Moroccan dealers fail to realize the world economy is in the worst 
downturn since the great depression and barely showing signs of recovery.  For 
example, they are stilling asking $10.00/gram for Eucrites when only $5.00/gram 
can be realized on eBay, even after suffering a cutting loss. In the end, they 
will find out how tough a market it really is. No amount of hype or press will 
bring the prices up on the open market. It is a supply and demand issue.  Maybe 
once the stockpiles which are dwindling are exhausted the prices will go back 
up.  Until then, I will be purchasing older U.S. finds which are priced most 
reasonably at a few dollars per gram.

Happy Hunting,

Adam
