[meteorite-list] Heritage auction

[Adam Hupe]

I think the timing of this auction during the middle of a political campaign might account for the train wreck witnessed today or the economy is worse off then anybody could imagine. Prices were all over the place, some excellent, some poor but not a single item exceeded $50,000.00 even with the huge buyer's premium in place.  A few of my friends watched parts of this auction on CNN and thought many of the descriptions should have been based on the importance of the items instead of comparing them to famous artwork.

All of the big auction houses are struggling right now from what I have read.  Hopefully things will settle back down after the election.

Best Regards,
