Depends on how much nickel it has in it. Most iron meteorite contain some nickel-iron alloy. Nickel is at about 2.20 US a pound, so this doesn't increase the price much.

Meteorits DO have an intrinsic value above and beyond the value of the mineral content. A collector would pay for the intrinsic value. Look around on the web to see what peole are paying.
Thanks, realmswalker, I though Nick was asking about the mineral value.
