Stupid question,
How come they are paying so much cash for a meteorite?

Chuck,
When you get as good as master Craig, you can discern the sound differences between man made and extraterrestrial iron.
That was funny Rudy and Chuck!

Rarity is a big thing for sure. I don't know if those things are radioactive or have alien bacteria in it you might want to keep your distance

Dear Craig, I cut a tiny piece off of the rock with a hack saw and did not see a change in the structure. So, I took the priviledgr to hammer off a small(1cm cube piece) on one end. There was still not any change in structure so I am very confident, now having seen the inside that it is , in fact, a piece of slag! I'm so sure of this that I see no need to show it to my dealer.So now, at some time, I will need to return it to you. What time would be good? Make some suggestions and I can get back to you! I still had a great time in the persuit of finding out!!! I have passed on your website to other members of our club so they can take a look! Al
When I get back I'll hit it with a sledge hammer to see of there is a crackerjack surprise inside

Too bad it is not a meteorite. My Brother in law (very successful meteorite hunter) would call it a meteor-wrong or a leaverite - as "in leave er right there". Common ones are not worth a whole lot but if you get a rare type you can make bank. I have held one in my hand that just a slice was sold for 7K. BTW- someone jokingly mentioned moon rocks.....Rocks that may have been part of the moon are highly sought after....
