[meteorite-list] AD - Another New Meteorite

I sent you an email privately, Anne.

Ruben,
You know perfectly well you haven't even broken the part slices yet.  You asked me what I would be interested in.  I sent the following response to you, word for word:

"Honestly I'm not willing to spend alot on it given that it will be a smaller specimen, and a part slice.  I'd be willing to spend around 100$ on a specimen with some halfway decent surface area and some crust, but not much more."

There is no "deal" made in that paragraph.  You don't even have a specimen ready to sell.  Why would I agree to pay you for what you don't have prepared yet?

John
