Sure, Charles. If no one used money, people would never want what others don't have. Sure.

Charles, ma' brah, I just scored some killer weed. Call me! I want to smoke and talk about this ladies dog I jacked from her car. And sold to science. So I could buy this weed. I think the only victim is the weed.

Charles, you should totally apply for a job at the Red Balloon Co that's opening on 15th.

A meteorite is by definition no longer a space object, let alone a "star". It's here on earth, it landed in someone's yard, they're selling it. Obviously this is a crisis.

The only things I see over my head at night are power lines, neon lights, street lamps, tall buildings, and the occasional airplane.

What are these "stars" of which you speak?

I've always loved the horrific hubris of that quote; much props Charles. I assume you know what Mark Twain said about him:

"In the opinion of many people Mr Rhodes is South Africa; others think he is only a large part of it. These latter consider that South Africa consists of Table Mountain, the diamond mines, the Johannesburg goldfields, and Cecil Rhodes . . . I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake."

I'm not very surprised by this. Meteorites have always had a high value to the Earthling. Meteorites were prized for use in weaponry and tools before smelting was was invented, and were thought of as chunks of Heaven for many religions all over the globe. It is believed, for example, that the rock at the Temple of the Rock is a meteorite.
