[meteorite-list] A million $ rock on eBay

[Michael Murray]

Hi Mike, List,
I've noticed that too but I can't necessarily fault anyone for  
that.   I do admire all finds and falls shared on the Met-List but  
some I just enjoy the accounts or the pictures offered and don't feel  
the need to offer any commentary.  Believe me, I am soaking it  all  
up though.  Or, at least as much as my antiquated mind will allow.   
Fact is, I truly appreciate it when someone shares pictures or  
information about their latest find.  I also appreciate the effort  
that went into the recovery.  To be honest, I find the wrongs  
interesting too.  Its a comparison thing I guess.  I learn from them.
