[meteorite-list] Christies auction results

[bill kies]

Money laundering at a Christies auction? I guess it could happen but  350,000 for a 400 dollar item might red flag the deal a little too much. 

Here's a more plausible example, not sayin it's ML of course. After all, the beauty and depth of the soul of the artist involved are immeasurable.
