Christie's Set To Auction Space Rocks For Out Of This World Prices (networkworld.com)

Posted by BeauHD on Wednesday April 6, 2016 @09:33PM from the outer-space dept.

coondoggie quotes a report from Networkworld: It's not everyday you could have the opportunity to buy a piece of space -- but Christie's London auction house will on April 20 offer about 80 meteorite pieces and a bunch of space-rock paraphernalia to go along with them. The collection -- consisting of a variety of space rocks from private and public collections -- is expected to sell for over a million dollars at the auction. The Valera Meteorite may be the most famous rock in the collection as it is purported to have killed a cow.

I hadn't realised that "killing a cow" was such a value-booster. I spy a business opportunity here.
Buy up items which could conceivably be used to kill a cow: shovels, pickaxes, trampolines (that one needs a bit of creativity) and so on. Use them to kill cows, then re-sell at a profit.
What could possibly go wrong?
