Dear friends,
caution is needed when you're offered batches of expensive cypraea's by
the Chinese shell dealer called KOUHI GEN ("excellentshells").
Several Belgian collectors got ripped off for many thousands of dollars.
The ordered (and paid) shells (#Cypraea hirasei, #kuroharai,#jumbo
guttata's, teramachi, #langfordi's etc..) were all replaced by worthless
hungerfordi's and broken miliaris. This dealer looked trustworthy as he
was selling on shellauction.net and had good critics.
Unfortunately after pulling of this stunt he is no longer active.
As there is a possibility that the same batch has been offered & sold to
many collectors please let us know if you've been a victim of this dealer.
Regards,

Eddy.
