[meteorite-list] Another ebay scammer

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Hi Daneil,

He probably is a scammer but at one time it was thought that tektites 
were from the moon. There may be people on here who give that "theory" 
some credit. In any case there is probably info out there that states 
this. Best!

> There are several listings with different quantities being sold.

> misleading or excessive keywords; then in the short description you can

> On the bright side, I hope everyone is having a fantastic Holiday
