[meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk: PRICING six months of eBay sales

[Michael Blood]

Hi Valparint & all,
        Interesting. I examined the Xl file and what I saw was that
Such decline was related to % of fusion crust, size, etc.
        I believe the average price originally (after the first blush) was
About $20 to $25/g and now, FOR THE SAME QUALITY  & SIZE
A few "bargains" can be had, but the price is still close to what it was,
Just a lot more weathered and/or broken specimens - not the 99% to 100%
Fusion crusted black beauties.
        I am close to sold out so I have no horse in this race - just that
the real "shift" seemed to me to be more about much more poor quality
Material with much lower prices is now available.
        Best regards, Michael
