[meteorite-list] Meteorite market trends - a critical note

[GREG LINDH]

  Hi Darren,

  I couldn't agree with you more.  I love meteorites just because of what they are.....rocks from space.  I love all meteorites.  I, like you, wish that everyone had access to tons of meteorites of all kinds....I love all of them.  After a year and a half of collecting, my excitement for these rocks has not diminished.  Even if I could find hundreds of meteorites surrounding my home here in Arizona, my love for them would remain.
  I'd like to see a "crash" also.
  To all of you dealers.....sorry, but that's how I feel.

  Greg Lindh
