[stan .]

FWIW when Bob Haag first sold zagami you could buy small quantities of it 
for 50$/g since the price of nearly all meteorites is volume dependant with 
larger quantiies selling for lower prices that means the value of 9kgs - AT 
THAT TIME - would ahve been no more than a few hundred thousand dollars.
