Odessa's meteor crater draws thousands of visitors per year but now pieces of the meteor are drawing thousands of dollars on Ebay.The meteorite strike was 50 times as powerful as one hydrogen bomb and would have easily wiped out what is now downtown Odessa.Visitors come from all over the country to see the country's second largest meteor crater."When we saw the signs out on the interstate for Meteor Crater Museum... we couldn't resist", said visitor Thomas Atkinson of Baltimore, Maryland.Now Ebay sellers are making money off pieces of the meteor by selling them for up to $2500 dollars."They vary. Some people will try to sell them for $150 a pound. There have been some places that try and get more than that", said Bob Rice.Rice is the manager of the Odessa Meteor Crater Museum. Living onsite he meets many characters who come from far and wide to visit and he says there is widespread demand for the rocks."Odessa meteorites are sought after by collectors all over the world".The museum actually gets more than 200 visitors per day during peak visitation in the summer. Today there was a European crowd."It's something exceptional, I never saw something like that", said Italian visitor Gilberto Murari. Murari loved the crater but says he isn't looking to buy just yet. "No...no..no..no. I must say I prefer the $2000 in my pocket". One English visitor believes the meteor shouldn't be sold at all. "I think the artifacts belong with the site unless they've had some sort of formal release", said Steve Hankin of Southampton.So when you start searching for a meteorite of your own, whether you're headed to Odessa's crater or Ebay. You will need one special tool to test the authenticity of these iron and nickel rocks."The main thing that most meteorite hunters do if they're out looking for them is carry a magnet", said Rice.Rice says some people love the crater but for others it doesn't have quite the same impact."They see these things and they have a deep interest in them and then other people... to them it's just... its just a rock".
