[meteorite-list] Steve Arnold's Famous Reverse Auction

[JASON PHILLIPS]

Hello Mike and List,
The fun part of it is getting the opportunity to get a 1 cent meteorite.
Now we all know that the price would not get the low, either by Steve not
letting it or someone getting it before that time.  It may be a gimmick, but
it sure is a fun way to buy meteorites.  Steve has always been someone who
doesn't do things like everyone else and it seems to have worked for him
over the years.  I think often this is a way for Steve to get to know his
customers or future customers and I would say that he often sells pieces for
less than he has in them just in the spirit of selling/fun.  We have to
remember, and it is often difficult, that this is a hobby and it should be
fun and sometimes doing something different adds to the fun.

Take Care,
Jason
