That's interesting , some people think that their stuff is of higher value
then most . don't ask me to name people cause i aint going to go there. most
people I've had the best trades with aren't for value but for the trade. I
once supplied a rare but not that valuable shell , it's value was only about
$20.00 usd. the person asked me what i wanted , i told him/her that it was
worth just making them happy . i received a box a bit latter with a shell
worth over $500.00 . so the real game of trading is to have fun (oh , what a
concept, FUN) and the joy one receives from making others happy . ask anyone
who has traded with me . Ps, if you thought my spelling was bad before , now
i have a really messed up keyboard, , time to give it that wall adjustment ,
or take it for a sailoff the roof 16 stories high. mark (ferreter)

    Subject: Shell traders?


    Since we've been on the subject of people who want to swap shells, we
recently had a letter from Rudolph Bland, Jr. of Richmond, VA wanting people
to swap shells with him.

    Does anyone know this person, or had any dealings with him?

    Carol....in answer to your query...yes...we have had dealings with Mr.
Bland, and thats as close as we come to knowing him.   In fact we have sold
Mr. Bland lots of material and have expected him to pay us a visit here in
Warrenton, as yet unfulfilled...however as far as the sales is concerned, we
are very pleased.  He has not asked us to trade....I cant answer there...but
if and when we trade,,,its value for value...not shell for shell...as in our
early years.
