Re: Warning
Dear Dave,
I have been buying and exchanging shells for over 40 years already. The majority of the people is absolutely trustworthy, but the - bad - exceptions spoil it for the rest. Sri-Lanka is an area with many interesting shells but it is extremely hard to find a reliable source overthere. I had one in the past - Brian Alexander - from Trincomalee but he died several years ago... For the rest I have the same experiences; one dealer (probably the same guy???) sent me excellent shells: beautiful Murex palmarosea (pink fronded), Voluta cloveriana, etc.etc. Than he sent me a really terrible lot... (described as gem-shells) which I would not even rate as fair. Excuses that he could not replace the shells because he had lost his permit.... Avoid, avoid, avoid!!! |
