Price of life….
I like many other fossil hunters have a desire to fill a designated shelf full of finds and pieces of prehistoric life. Some times in order to own these things, we sometime have to buy these instead of find them, financially we are all different.
After scouring the internet I decided to look on eBay to see what bargains I could find…..
I was genuinely shocked by the price that people will charge for fossils….hundreds, thousand, millions!!!! It really is unbelievable,
I struggle with the concept of people charging this much for fossils,
Small Crested Nyctosaur …. £50,454.09!!! really? Whoever is selling this should be questioned on his motives immediately
I understand there will always be a charge for these and everything else that is sold of this nature but can people justify selling a once blossoming life for such a profit?
I don’t mind owning ammonites, trilobites, teeth of all types, ribs and other bones, if I find any I will be over the moon, I also don’t mind paying a small amount for a Moroccan trilobite because I do not frequent morocco that often, so the purchasing them for my collection is the only way for the time being.
These fossil that cost in excess of £1,000,00 + should have been donated to small museums for people to enjoy and not stashed away by a private collector etc….
I know if I ever find a rare or complete discovery I will do the right thing……….
