That is a very interesting comment! For those lucky enough to live in a place like the Philippines collecting tropical shells like yours would be fun and also interesting, but for those of us like me who live in the cold of England our shells are very dull and boring for the most part. SO if I want beautiful tropical shells I have to buy them as I can't afford to visit the Philippines myself. Also as I collect mainly Muricidae to get a good collection myself would entail travelling all over the world, something I could never afford in a million years! I do collect British shells myself and do enjoy collecting them but the British Isles are so cold and the fauna not half as good as yours.
