meteorite identification (seller's responses): Determining whether a seller is evasive due to lack of knowledge, a language barrier, or because he/she is fraudulent can be tricky. But if you ask specific and repeated questions the response may reveal the seller's intent. Below, the seller is asked many question that go unanswered. Advertised proof is again requested. The seller shows his/her true colors by asking $55.00 for the verifying info which should be free if it actually exists. Buyer Beware!
