Good idea, Ross. I'm curious as to how dealers became interested in
shelling and selling, and in how they conduct business. I'm not asking for
trade secrets here, just whatever the dealer would like to say about
obtaining material; setting up their stores, booths, or catalogs; joys and
pains. How long have you been in the business? Do you have a personal
collection or favorites?
 
As to people who think dealing in shells should be outlawed: Time out!
We've heard from you before, and we'll listen with great interest later,
but let's hear another viewpoint for awhile. To paraphrase Walt Whitman,
Conch-L is large; it contains multitudes.
